Within the European Union it is obligatory on makeup products to indicate how long the product can be used safely. The way in which that is indicated, depends on the period of time the product stays good in unopened state, also known as shelf life; the shelf life of the product if you would put on a shelf unopened and wouldn't use. There are three categories to the shelf life:
The intent of this law is that the consumer has a right to know when a product can be used safely. For Unity Cosmetics this sounds logical and you can find the jar symbol on all our products – except the nail polish - so you know the number of months that you can use the product after first opening.
Do you have a product where no jar symbol is listed on and where no expiration date is on? Then that product has unlimited shelf life (in the cosmetics area, however, only few products are within this category!), or the product is not manufactured in the European Union, or the manufacturer is not adhering to this European legal regulations!
If a product shelf life is short and therefore contains a date (as explained in category 2), it is easy to determine whether a product is or is not safe to use.
But when a product has the jar-symbol, or no information at all, then it's not that simple: How do you remember when you first used the product? Most consumers have no idea when they have used their lip gloss or mascara for the first time. As a result, it is difficult to know if the product expired, because you need to know the date on which you have used the product for the first time. If you do not remember, just use your common sense:
