Batch Code Checker: Cosmetics

Is that cream fresh? The batch code stamped on the package knows — but every manufacturer encodes it differently.

Batch Code Checker reads the code and shows the production date, the product's age, and the rule the date came from. If a brand's scheme isn't confirmed, it says so instead of inventing a date: a wrong date is worse than none.

• Type the code, or take a photo of it and let the app read the characters. • See the production date, how old the product is, and which manufacturer group's scheme was used. • Confirmed and unconfirmed schemes are marked — you always know how much to trust an answer. • Rules update automatically from batchcodecheck.com, without updating the app. Without a connection, the app answers with its built-in copy and tells you. • Guide: where the code sits on bottles, tubes, jars and boxes, and which numbers are not the batch code. • History of your checks, kept on your phone. No account needed.

Covers groups such as L’Oréal (L’Oréal Paris, Garnier, Lancôme, Kiehl’s, CeraVe, La Roche-Posay, Vichy, NYX, YSL), Estée Lauder Companies (Clinique, MAC, Origins, Bobbi Brown), Shiseido, Kenvue, Procter & Gamble, Beiersdorf, Kao, Henkel, Burt’s Bees, Dr. Bronner’s, plus common Julian and year-week date formats.

Pro — one purchase, no subscription: no ads, photo reading without the daily limit, and the full history.

Useful when buying cosmetics second-hand or online, checking stock at home, or before trusting a bargain.
