* The length of time Little Red Cap will preserve any product is not exact
due to the effect of temperature, exposure to UV, humidity, position of tube
while stored and the chemical
makeup of the product. Longer life is achieved by
storing tubes horizontally in the coolest temperature possible without
freezing and out of
direct sunlight.
