How to Find Your Lancôme Batch Code
1. Locate the Code
On Lancôme bottles and jars, the batch code is printed on the bottom of the product or on the back label. For tubes (like UV Expert sunscreen), check the crimp at the sealed end. Lancôme batch codes are typically 2-4 characters in a letter+digit format (e.g., 40GN02, 40M301).
2. Don't Confuse with Barcode
The batch code is not the long barcode (EAN) on the packaging. Lancôme uses L'Oréal Group barcodes. The batch code is a short alphanumeric stamp, often embossed or printed on the bottom of the product.
3. Decode Instantly
