What counts as a lot number
A beauty lot number is usually a compact printed string tied to a production batch. It may appear on the outer box, bottle base, label edge, tube crimp, sachet edge, or jar bottom.
The same product may also show a barcode, shade number, SKU, or regulatory mark. Those are usually not the lot number.
How to look it up
Choose the brand, enter the exact lot string, and compare the result with the product type and purchase timing.
If a brand has multiple formats, the most complete code from the primary package normally gives the strongest signal.
If the lookup does not work
Try another package location, preserve separators, and avoid merging fragments from box and bottle. If the code still fails, use guide pages to check whether you are reading a barcode, shade code, or internal reference.
