Inoui FAQ
Which code applies to an INOUÏ refill?
Use the production mark on the sealed refill pan or cartridge. A molded code on the reusable compact or pen body identifies the component, not necessarily the cosmetic batch.
Is the INOUÏ shade number a lot code?
No. Shade and finish identify the color variant; the production mark is separate.
INOUÏ lot marks across makeup formats
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Check the base or seam of the primary bottle, tube, pencil or compact, then the lower and closing flaps of the matching carton. For an eye palette refill, cheek refill or liquid-liner cartridge, use the mark on the sealed replacement component rather than a molded number inside the reusable holder.
- Shade numbers, SPF/PA ratings, volume or weight, JAN barcode and the Japanese words for refill or cartridge identify the product variant. Keep them in the photograph, but enter only the separate short printed, stamped or embossed production mark.
Common lookup mistakes
- Photograph the complete Japanese product name because INOUÏ sells closely related foundations, primers, powders and replacement formats.
- Powder pans and liner cartridges can outlast their cartons; keep the immediate package until the item has been checked and opened.
