Check a St. Ives batch code
St. Ives sells Apricot, Rose & Aloe, Avocado & Honey and BHA face scrubs, lip scrubs, large body washes and hand and body lotions such as Oatmeal & Shea Butter, Collagen & Elastin and Vitamin E & Avocado. A 6 oz scrub tube, 22 fl oz wash and 20.28 oz pump lotion do not share one label layout.
St. Ives FAQ
Is BHA or Apricot a batch code?
No. Those identify a formula or ingredient line.
Do US and imported St. Ives packs mark alike?
Not always. Compare the exact package size and country panel before selecting a code.
Codes on St. Ives face and body packaging
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect tube crimps, bottle and jar bases, the lower back label, pump-bottle shoulders and cap or carton areas. Imported 170 g/600 ml packs may arrange regulatory and date marks differently from US 6 oz/22 fl oz packs.
- Apricot, BHA, pH, ingredient name, 6 oz, 650 ml, UPC and recycling marks identify formula or pack, not batch. Use the separate short inked, laser or embossed code with product and market.
Common lookup mistakes
- Close face scrubs and lip jars, avoid adding water to them, and keep body-wash and lotion pumps clean. Large bathroom bottles can deteriorate from heat, water and repeated contamination after opening.
- Printed expiry and PAO take priority. Stop use if fragrance, colour, consistency, separation or skin response changes.
