10. Has my product reached its use by date?

One of the crucial requirements towards cosmetic products is their safety for human health. The core element of the cosmetic safety compliance is the Safety Assessment, which includes (among others) stability testing. This specific test is aimed at evaluating the shelf life of the finished products or their Period After Opening (PAO). According to the EU Cosmetics Regulation EC 1223/2009 if the shelf life is lower than 30 months, an expiration date must be indicated on the packaging of the product. On the other hand, if the shelf life is longer than 30 months, no indication of expiration date is necessary on the packaging. In this case, the Period After Opening (PAO) is mandatory. The PAO corresponds to the period during which the product is stable and can be used without posing any risk to the human health after opening. Therefore, it includes a de facto assessment of the stability of the product towards the risk of the microbial contamination, following the first use.
