I agree although the label is not a symbol it’s very important to be aware of what’s inside your product. As a breast cancer survivor with no family history I know my environment has played a huge role in my cancer. There are many elements to consider but I have become more cautious of what I put on my skin and reading those labels can be very eye opening.

Of course, it’s best to use before the date is up for freshness but based on experience, one or two months after should be okay to use. Just check the quality and the smell.

do we able to use cosmetics products until 6M (6 months) because of the symbol even the best use before is Feb’10? or 6M is only the sign that we could use the products up to 6 months after we open it, but still have to be aware with the ‘best used’ time? thanks…

It’s important cos anything out of the range could be too harsh. *btw, I have difficulties sending you email*

For me, I would just look at the manufacturing date, expiry date, ingredients and instructions.

By the way, just a random question : how important is pH balance for shampoo and facial cleansing foam?
