Depending on the cosmetics, it is not certain whether the mark indicates the production date or the expiration date. The labeling of cosmetics standards should be "production batch number and expiration date" or "production date and shelf life". The details depend on the instructions on the cosmetic bottle.

According to Article 10 of the "Cosmetics Labeling Management Regulations": Cosmetic labels should clearly indicate the production date and shelf life of the cosmetics or the production batch number and expiration date.

The label of cosmetic packaging (container) can only indicate the name of the cosmetic, the name and address of the manufacturer, the net content, the production date and shelf life, or the production batch number and expiration date. If the product has other relevant explanatory information, other content that should be marked can be marked on the explanatory information.
