Block & White FAQ
Why do some bottles say Block & Glow?
Block & Glow is the newer brand presentation; older Block & White products and resale stock can still circulate.
Can a marketplace product listing prove an old lotion is fresh?
No. Inspect the physical expiry, lot, seal, responsible-company panel, and storage condition of the actual bottle.
Check a Block & White body-lotion batch code
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect bottle bases and shoulders, back-label edges, cap or pump collars, tube crimps, sachet seams, carton flaps, and case labels for a compact ink-jetted, stamped, or embossed lot. SPF16, SPF24, PA++, 5-in-1, Sakura White, Papaya, capacity, barcode, and Philippine FDA notification number identify the formula or selling unit rather than its manufacturing date.
- The responsible-company panel and formula generation matter because older records name Unilever Philippines while later notifications may name a local notifier, and marketplace stock can mix legacy packages with newer Block & Glow branding. Match the actual label and printed expiry; do not infer freshness from a retailer listing or assume that every old Block & White code follows the current brand format.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the complete variant, SPF and PA rating, bottle size, responsible company, country, Philippine FDA notification details, printed expiry, and codes from both bottle and outer pack.
- Treat long-stored SPF lotion conservatively: discard after expiry, seal failure, sustained heat exposure, leakage, separation, discoloration, unusual odor, or skin irritation.
