It's important to use cosmetics before its "best used by" date. Using products beyond this date can be harmful to your skin.

The reference for the "best used by" date can be found on the product packaging. 

At Ellana Cosmetics, our "best used by" dates are based on the period after manufacturing. This means products should be fully used up within the specified number of months after the manufacturing date.

Determine the "Best Used By" Date

Every Ellana product features a small number series printed on the side of the label, back of the bottle, or under side of the jar. The manufacturing date of the product is the first 4 digits (mmyy) that follow the product's alphabetical code. 

Example: SEGL-072100938
Glass-C Skin+ Brightening Serum, manufactured on July 2021.

This serum is best used within 24 months. 

As such, make sure to finish it up by July 2023.
