Iles Formula FAQ
Is the Iles Formula step number the batch code?
No. It identifies the routine stage and remains separate from the production lot.
How should opened Iles Formula serum be checked?
Consider PAO, opening date, storage, pump condition and changes in smell or texture.
Checking Iles Formula packaging
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Check bottle bases and shoulders, tube crimps, jar undersides, pump collars, label seams and carton flaps. Keep Step 1, 2 or 3, product volume, barcode and recycling references separate from a short printed or embossed lot.
- Shampoo, rich mask and finishing serum use different containers and can change differently after opening. Use PAO, opening date, heat and moisture exposure, pump or cap condition, odour and texture with any printed date.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the full product and step before copying small characters from the base.
- Dry wet shower bottles before photographing; water droplets can make ink appear incomplete.
