Batch Code Checker

Check a cosmetic batch code to estimate its production date, age and likely shelf-life status.

Select brand

Enter batch code

The code is usually printed or embossed on the box, bottle, tube or jar. It is not the barcode.

Find the code

Look for a short group of letters and numbers near the packaging seam, base or crimp.

Choose the brand

Batch-code formats vary between manufacturers, so brand selection improves the estimate.

Review the estimate

See the interpreted date, product age, confidence level and practical freshness guidance.

Important: Results are estimates based on known code patterns. Packaging changes, regional factories and recycled codes can affect accuracy. Always check smell, colour, texture, seal condition and the period-after-opening symbol.
