How to Find Your DHC Batch Code
1. Locate the Code
On DHC bottles (like the Deep Cleansing Oil), the batch code is on the bottom of the bottle. For tubes like Lip Cream, check the crimp at the sealed end. For supplements, check the back of the pouch near the seal. Codes are typically 4-6 characters.
2. Don't Confuse with Barcode
The batch code is not the long barcode (EAN) on the packaging. DHC products have a JAN code starting with 4511413. The batch code is a shorter alphanumeric stamp, often inkjet-printed.
3. Decode Instantly
Select "DHC" from the brand dropdown in the calculator above, enter your batch code, and click "Check Now" to see the manufacturing date and estimated expiry.
