Do all Oilatum products use the same date format?
No. Medicine and cosmetic packs can use different marks.
Oilatum Lot Code
Oilatum includes adult and Junior creams, emollient and antiseptic bath additives, shower gel, soap, anti-dandruff shampoo, and cosmetic bath products. Some are OTC treatments while others are cosmetics, so label instructions and printed expiry dates take priority over an estimate.
Oilatum FAQ
Where is the lot on Oilatum cream?
Look at the tube crimp or base and the carton flap.
Can an estimate override EXP?
No. The printed Oilatum expiry takes priority over any estimated date.
Oilatum treatment and bath-product lot marks
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Check tube crimps, pump-bottle bases or shoulders, tub bottoms, soap cartons, and the base or back seam of bath-additive bottles for a lot and any EXP date.
- Junior, 150 g/500 ml, active-ingredient percentages, medicine authorization, barcode, and product name distinguish the formula; they are not production dates.
Common lookup mistakes
- Photograph the full front and medicine-information panel so cream, emollient, bath additive, and cosmetic wash are not confused.
- For an OTC Oilatum product, use the printed expiry and leaflet and ask a pharmacist if the mark is unclear.
