Thankfully, figuring out when you should throw away your beauty products is simple: Just look at the packaging. There are tiny symbols on product labels that tell you how long your products will last after you’ve opened them — but they’re so small, you might not have noticed them.
Keeping this in view, how do you find the expiry date of a product?
Find the Use By/Expiration Date. Look for this on the side of the label or on the carton. The Lot Number is near the Use By/Expiration Date.
Likewise, people ask, how do I find my batch code on cosmetics?
Usually it is printed on both the primary container and outer packaging. The batch code consists from numbers and letters. If the product is not marked, then it must have the expiration date written. If you use makeup products every day, your body can absorb through the skin over two kilograms of chemicals per year!
How do you read a date code?
The format of the date code is mostly in the form of a YYWW format. The first two digits (YY) represents the last two digits of the year while the last two digits (WW) stand for the week of the year. For example, 0443 represents week 43 of 2004.
How do you read a batch code?
All Batch Numbers are based on the Date-of-Fill not necessarily the Date-of-Manufacture. For example, the Lot Number 031220 indicates that the product was put in the can on the 3rd (03) of December (12) 2018 (20). There is a 3-digit lot number for the corresponding Hardener. This is a sequential lot number.
How do you read the 5 digit expiration date?
For canned food and ready-to-eat meals, check the packaging for a 5-digit code that signifies when the food was manufactured. In this code, the first 2 numbers stand for the year, while the last 3 represent the day of the year.
