Brillance FAQ
Does the second Brillance conditioner sachet show a new manufacturing date?
Not by itself. It is a package component for a later refresh step; use any separate printed mark and the product instructions.
Can a Brillance shade number replace the expiry or batch mark?
No. Shade, product, and package identifiers must be kept separate from any expiry or production marking.
How to review a Brillance lot and date marking
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Shade numbers and names such as 845 Cashmere Red, 862 Natural Brown, 880 Dark Brown, 888 Dark Cherry, and 891 Blue Black identify color variants. A shade, color claim, gloss wording, developer volume, barcode, SKU, or package component is not automatically the production lot.
- Inspect the color-cream tube crimp, developer bottle, sachet seal, carton flap, and leaflet for a separate short printed, inkjet, stamped, or embossed mark. Brillance instructions call for an allergy alert test 48 hours before coloring and mixing cream into the developer; those directions are not date-decoding rules.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the complete Brillance shade number and name, market, kit contents, batch-looking mark on each component, instructions, expiry or PAO if shown, and the outer-carton barcode.
- Follow the exact Brillance instructions, perform the allergy alert test 48 hours before coloring as directed, and do not use a kit with leakage, damaged seals, unusual odor, or separated contents.
