Hello! I've had a bottle of dye (Loreal Excellence Professional color) and a bottle of 30 volume oreor creme developer (peroxide) for about a year. The dye has never been touched, but the developer has been used once. Are they still good or do I have to throw them away? I developer is a large bottle that's been sealed tightly, but like
I said it was used one time approximately a year ago.

Thanks.

Dyes have been made recently to never have an expiration date as long as it's sealed. If there is one for some reason, it's usually 10 years.

I don't know about the developer. I'd have to call L'Oreal helpline on the box and ask, than risk it.
