Check LA Looks Cosmetic Batch Code

LA Looks FAQ
Where is an LA Looks production code?
Check the bottle base, shoulder, back-label edge and cap area for a short print or embossing separate from UPC and hold level.
Is the number 10 on Extreme Sport the batch code?
No. It indicates the hold level. Look for a separate production mark on the package.
LA Looks styling gel lot and opening check
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect the bottle base, shoulder, back-label edge and cap area for a compact production mark. The hold level, 20 fl oz size, UPC, product name and Tri-Active Hold wording describe the product and are not the lot.
- Use the lot estimate to understand when the sealed product may have been made, then apply LA Looks' 12-month-after-opening guidance. Replace gel that has separated, developed an unusual odor, changed color, dried around the closure or no longer dispenses normally.
Common lookup mistakes
- Write down the opening month on the bottle because a readable production code does not reveal when the cap was first opened.
- Clean dried gel from the closure and close it firmly; repeated air exposure or contamination can shorten useful life.
