What you should know about cosmetics expiration dates

Many of our visitors asking why cosmetics and perfume do not have production and expiration date printed.

According to FDA: There are no regulations or requirements under current United States law that require cosmetic manufacturers to print expiration dates on the labels of cosmetic products… The European Union’s Cosmetic Directive, as amended in 1993, requires expiration dating only for products whose “minimum durability” is less than 30 months.

As a step forward in solving this problem, our service which is able to calculate production date of cosmetics or perfume by a lot number, has been extended. This update to Cosmetic and perfume production date calculator includes ability to read batch codes of the following brands:
