Is a color shade number the Alfaparf batch code?
No. The shade identifies a repeatable color formula and does not uniquely identify its production run.
Check Alfaparf Cosmetic Batch Code
Alfaparf Milano Professional grew from an Italian salon-products business founded in 1980. Semi di Lino, launched in 1989, became its signature haircare family, followed by the professional permanent-color system Evolution of the Color. The range now spans shampoos, masks, oils and ampoules, scalp and curl care, Color Wear, BB Bleach, developers and technical color products, Keratin Therapy smoothing care, Style Stories styling, and salon sizes.
Alfaparf FAQ
Can developer and hair-color codes be combined?
No. They are separately manufactured components and each package must retain its own lot marking.
Does Semi di Lino identify the production date?
No. It is Alfaparf’s long-running treatment family and appears on many distinct products.
Check an Alfaparf Milano Professional batch code
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect bottle and jar bases, tube crimps, ampoule trays, sachet seals, developer and color cartons, powder-tub labels, and salon-size handles for an ink-jetted, stamped, or embossed lot. Semi di Lino, Diamond, Moisture, Reconstruction, Curls, Scalp, Evolution, Color Wear, shade numbers, mixing ratios, peroxide volume, bleach level, 500 mL, barcode, and technical reference identify a line, need, color, instruction, strength, size, retail item, or formula rather than the production date.
- Separate the finished-care product from the salon chemical system. Permanent color, tone-on-tone color, developer, bleach, smoothing treatment, shampoo, mask, and styling product have distinct codes and handling rules. Becos, DIBI Milano, Olos, Decoderm, Yellow, and other Alfaparf Milano group labels remain separate brands even when manufacturing relationships overlap.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the complete product and sub-line name, care/color/developer/bleach/styling role, shade or strength, size, country and manufacturer panel, professional-use warning, barcode, and codes from every component and carton.
- Follow professional instructions, patch or strand-test requirements, mixing ratios, gloves, and ventilation for color, bleach, and smoothing products. Never combine leftovers or substitute a code from the companion developer.
