Check Albion Cosmetic Batch Code

Albion is a Japanese prestige-cosmetics manufacturer founded in 1956 and known for reversing the conventional skincare order with its “milk-first” system: Balancing Milk immediately after cleansing, followed by lotion. Alongside its long-running Skin Conditioner, the catalog includes FLARUNÉ, INFINESSE, EXCIA and EMBEAGE, EX-VIE, creams and serums, cleansing care, UV products, base and color makeup, and refillable compacts.

Albion FAQ

Is I, II, or III the Albion batch code?

No. These numerals distinguish formula or skin-feel versions and can recur across many production runs.

Can a Skin Conditioner code date Balancing Milk?

No. They are separate formulas used at different steps and are manufactured independently.

Does an Albion compact code date its refill?

No. A reusable case is an accessory and may be purchased separately from the cosmetic pan.

Check an Albion cosmetics batch code

Before you rely on the decoded date

  • Inspect bottle and jar bases, tube or refill crimps, pump collars, carton bottoms and flaps, compact undersides, and refill trays for a printed, stamped, or embossed lot. Milk I, II or III, Skin Conditioner, Flora Drip, Bright, White, EX, SPF, shade name, 110 g, 200 g, 110 mL, JAN, and case reference identify a step, skin-feel version, line, claim, protection level, shade, size, retail item, or accessory rather than the production date.
  • Keep product identity exact. A Balancing Milk and lotion occupy different steps in Albion’s own regimen, EXCIA EMBEAGE and INFINESSE are distinct lines, and powder foundation, its refill tray, and the reusable case can have separate markings. IGNIS, Elégance, and Anna Sui cosmetics may share corporate manufacturing relationships but should be checked under their own Albion products.

Common lookup mistakes

  • Record the full English and Japanese product name, skincare step or makeup category, line, I/II/III version, shade or SPF, refill/case status, size, Albion company panel, JAN, and codes from both container and carton.
  • Close milk, lotion, serum, and cream promptly and keep reusable makeup cases clean. Replace products after seal failure, contamination, persistent separation, powder hardening, leakage, or a marked odor, color, or texture change.
