Nuxe batch code & expiration date

Where to find your Nuxe batch code

On real Nuxe packaging (made by Laboratoire Nuxe SAS) — green is the code, red is not (the barcode, article number or open-jar symbol):

✓ The batch code is A121C037

✗ Not the code: Code:0A47806, 3264680015816 (barcode), 12M (open-jar / PAO), 92100

✓ The batch code is D117A013

✗ Not the code: Code:9961244, Ref:AN0360A, 3264680005183 (barcode)

✓ The batch code is K120A006

✗ Not the code: Ref:ANM01601A, Code:VNM01601, 3264680024009 (barcode)

The Nuxe 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.

• Bottle / jar — stamped on the base.
• Tube — near the crimp or seal at the closed end.
• Boxed fragrance — a flap or side of the outer box (and often on the bottle base too).
• Compact / palette — the underside, or inside the pan.

About Nuxe batch codes

Nuxe codes encode a year digit plus a month letter.

Real documented examples: code → manufacture date.

Nuxe's official guidance is an unopened shelf life of about 12 months from the manufacture date. Once opened, follow the PAO (open-jar) symbol on the pack.

We've read 115 Nuxe batch codes so far, the newest was made April 2026, and the typical Nuxe product people check here is about 36 months old.

Can the batch code tell me if my Nuxe 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 Nuxe product is authentic. Buy from Nuxe or an authorised retailer, and compare the packaging, print quality and seal with one you know is genuine.

Does Nuxe expire?

Yes — like all cosmetics and fragrances, Nuxe products have a limited shelf life. Unopened they typically last about 12 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.
