Japanese Cosmetic Batch Code Checker

Check Japanese cosmetic batch codes for brands like Kose, Allie, Anessa, Canmake, Shiseido, and Orbis.

Japanese beauty packaging often uses compact printed codes, date-like strings, and product references close together. Start by separating the production lot from barcode and product text.

Next step

Look at box flap, tube crimp, bottle base, or compact base.
Do not merge Japanese date text with lot code.
Sunscreen should be checked more strictly.

Date text vs lot code

製造年月日 or 使用期限 may be printed separately; do not combine them with a batch-like string.

Open the dedicated pages for Kose, Allie, Anessa, Shiseido, Canmake, Orbis, or Rohto when the brand is known.

Common questions
