FAQs

How accurate is the COSR.AI cosmetic checker?

COSR.AI strives for high accuracy using publicly available data and common batch code patterns. While constantly updated, manufacturers can change coding systems. It provides an educated estimate, and for critical concerns, cross-referencing with explicit dates or contacting the brand directly is recommended.

What if my cosmetic brand or batch code isn't recognized?

The database is continuously expanding. If your brand or code isn't recognized, you can contact COSR.AI with the details to help improve their service. Sometimes, a code might be a serial number or from a very new/old production run not yet in the system.

Can I use cosmetics after their expiration date?

It is generally not recommended. Expired cosmetics can lose efficacy, change texture/color, and harbor harmful bacteria, potentially causing skin irritation or infections. It's safer to adhere to freshness guidelines, especially for liquid products and items used near the eyes.
