Hello Dan, Let's see now... about 2 months and then it is gone... :)
OK, back from kidding you, it should last a long time. The only caution would be to keep it out of direct UV light and to keep the temperature of it below somewhere around 120 F. I suppose it would also be good to keep the minimum temperature above 30 F. I generally make is as I use it, but I was able to find a bottle that I mixed up about 6 months ago. It lathered up just like new stuff. I haven't done any testing beyond that.
