Marking cosmetic products takes place as per an international agreement which is referred to as the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients). The agreement applies to both ingredients and fragrances. Additionally, such products must have a use-by date, especially if their shelf life is not more than 30 months. Also, coding is used as an anti-counterfeit measure and to help with products’ traceability.
