The Crème Shop Batch Code & K-Beauty Freshness

The Crème Shop started in Los Angeles as a K-beauty inspired label and is now sold through LG H&H's LG Beauty store. Its range mixes Korean-made hand creams, sheet masks and eye patches with lip oils, makeup and brush sets, many in Hello Kitty or Pusheen designs, so a hand cream tube and a lip oil rarely share one code layout.

The Crème Shop FAQ

Where is the code on The Crème Shop hand creams?

Most tubes carry it as a short stamp across the sealed crimp at the bottom. When a carton is present, a flap may repeat it.

Is PHKC1028 on The Crème Shop brush sets a batch code?

No. Codes like PHKC1028 identify the set or item; a production code is a separate short print or stamp that changes between runs.

Are all The Crème Shop products made in Korea?

No. Hand creams and masks are often Korean-made, but makeup, tools and some collaboration items come from other factories, so read the origin line on each package.

Finding the production code on The Crème Shop items

Before you rely on the decoded date

  • Hand cream tubes usually carry the code as a stamp across the sealed crimp, while masks and patches print it along the pouch edge; brush sets and some collaboration boxes show an item number such as PHKC1028 that names the set, not a production run.
  • Character licence lines, copyright years and the UPC are fixed artwork, so leave them out when you copy the code.

Common lookup mistakes

  • Tilt a hand cream tube under a lamp to read the crimp, because the stamp is often pressed into the metal or plastic without ink.
  • Sheet masks and eye patches are single-use or short-use products; a torn pouch or a dried-out essence matters more than any printed code.
