Where to find the barcode for cosmetic batch number to identify the origin

The production batch number of each cosmetic is different. Some cosmetics will directly mark the expiration date or manufacturing date on the packaging. The production date and shelf life marking methods of different products are not the same.

Where to find the cosmetic batch number

You can use a special cosmetics batch number query tool to query. Just enter the cosmetics brand and the corresponding batch number. If you cannot find the production date and expiration date, then the cosmetics are fake. Some cosmetics will be directly marked with a shelf life, with a digital marking method such as EX:029260, where EX refers to the expiration date, 02 is the product number, 9 is the year, indicating that it was manufactured in 1999, and 260 means the 260th day of the year. Dividing 30 by 20 is approximately August 20.

Barcode identification of origin

The product barcode is divided into 4 parts. The 1st to 3rd digits represent the code that identifies the country or region. Among them, 690-699 are the codes for China; 4-8th digits represent the manufacturer code, which is applied for by the manufacturer and allocated by the country; 9-12th digits represent the product code in the factory, which is determined by the manufacturer; the 13th digit is the check code, which is calculated from the previous 12 digits according to a certain algorithm. Many girls think that imported products are easier to use, but they don’t know how to judge the products. In fact, we can use barcodes to identify the origin of products. For example, product barcodes from 690 to 695 are all produced in mainland China. If you see numbers starting with 690, 691, 694 on the barcode of "imported cosmetics", then you should have an idea. It is very convenient to travel to South Korea and Thailand now, and many people have started to do purchasing business. If you buy goods imported from South Korea, the barcode should start with 880; for goods imported from Thailand, the barcode should start with 885; for imported products from America, the barcode starts with 00 to 13 (the United States and Canada); 30-37 for France in Europe; 400-440 for Germany; and 50 for the United Kingdom. In Asia, the barcodes for Japanese cosmetics start with 45-49; the barcodes for cosmetics in mainland China start with 690-693; the barcodes for Taiwan start with 471; and the barcodes for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region start with 489. In the identification of important ingredients, some English words also have different meanings. For example, Soap Free means no soap base; Frangrance Free means no fragrance; Alcohol Free means no alcohol; Parabens Free means no parabens antibacterial agents. Of course, cosmetics also have organic certification marks, such as the EU EEC organic mark, the Australian NASAA organic mark, and the Japanese JAS organic mark.

Letter marking method: EX1:RJAN1, R is the year, which means 99, and JAN is the month, which means January, 1 is the date, which is the 1st, so the manufacturing date of this product is 1999/1/1; EXD99, D is the month, which means the fourth month of the year, so it is April, 99 is the year, which is 1999, so this product was manufactured in April 1999. The months corresponding to the letters are: A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4, E-5, F-6, G-7, H-8, I-9, J-10, K-11, L-12.

How to check the shelf life of cosmetics

There is a number and an M mark behind the back of the cosmetics, which indicates the shelf life after opening. 12M means that it can be used for 12 months after opening, and so on. It's very simple. Think back to the date you opened it. If it is not expired, you can continue to use it. Liquid foundation has a high oil content, and most of them have a shelf life of 12 months after opening. Blush can last for about two years, and the shelf life of liquid blush is generally one year. The shelf life of lipstick is at most two years, and most eye shadows are also about two years. Mascara must be used as soon as possible after opening the cap, because it dries too fast! Generally, it will be finished in three months, and at most six months... Adding some eye drops will be better. In fact, I rarely buy full-size mascaras. I always use the small samples given in the gift package. After using one, there will be a new one immediately. Hahaha, I never worry about the shortage. Eyeliner and liquid eyeliner are the same as mascara. They will dry out after three to six months. Even if they can be used, they are not smooth. So try to stick to one after opening it. Solid eyeliner is better and can be used for one to two years while maintaining smooth strokes.
