Where do you find the batch code on cosmetics?
How do you read a batch number?

A batch number is a designation given to products made in the same manufacturing run. A batch number can consist of numerals, letters, or symbols, and it allows the items to be traced after they’ve been distributed.
Thankfully, many cosmetic companies include an expiration date anyway. Look to the bottom of your packaging for a stamp with an expiration date. If you can’t find one, look for a symbol with an open jar and a letter m to indicate how long your product will last after opening.
Answer: It doesn’t have an expiration date on the box. I called Clairol and they said it doesn’t ever expire until you mix the peroxide with the powder.
Hair dye products don’t typically have expiration dates on their package. This can cause confusion for consumers who are wondering if old hair dye still works and is safe to use. According to manufacturers, unopened hair dye doesn’t expire.
The batch code is between 3 and 11 numbers (sometimes letters) and is usually either located near the barcode, near the company information, or on the bottom. The way you can tell it is the batch code is that it looks like it was stamped on after the packaging was made. The other numbers are part of the packaging.
