Where to find your H2O+ batch code

The H2O+ batch code is a short, usually embossed stamp of letters and numbers — never the barcode. Here’s what it looks like on typical packaging (the code is the short embossed stamp, not the long barcode):

What a H2O+ batch code looks like on cosmetic packaging — a short embossed lot/date stamp, not the barcode What a H2O+ batch code looks like on cosmetic packaging — a short embossed lot/date stamp, not the barcode

The H2O+ batch code — also called the lot code, lot number or serial number — is a short 4–8 character stamp of letters and numbers, usually embossed rather than printed in ink, and it is never the barcode. On a bottle or jar look at the base; on a tube look near the crimp/seal at the end; on a boxed perfume or fragrance check a flap or side of the box; on makeup check the underside of the compact or inside the pan.

About H2O+ batch codes

H2O+ codes encode the production date.

Most unopened cosmetics and fragrances keep for about 30–36 months from manufacture. Once opened, follow the PAO (open-jar) symbol — it usually matters more than any printed expiration date.

Can the batch code tell me if my H2O+ is authentic? Not on its own. A code that decodes to a sensible date is a good sign, but counterfeiters copy real codes from genuine packs, so a valid code cannot prove a H2O+ product is authentic. Buy from H2O+ or an authorised retailer, and compare the packaging, print quality and seal with one you know is genuine.

Does H2O+ expire?

Yes — like all cosmetics and fragrances, H2O+ products have a limited shelf life. Unopened they typically last 30–36 months from the manufacture date, and the batch code above tells you how old yours already is. After opening, the PAO (open-jar) symbol — e.g. "12M" — is a better guide than any printed expiration date.
