Available on the internet, on the websites Febea.fr and Parlonscosmetiques.com, this brochure aims to help the general public to better read the packaging of products cosmetics, and in particular the mandatory information which is affixed to it.
The publication specifies the list of information that must appear on the packaging of products cosmeticssuch as the country of manufacture, the quantity of product available, or the batch of manufacture.
The booklet also explains how the "period after opening of a product" (PAO) is determined, that is to say the life of the product once opened. This mention is indicated by the symbol of an open pot, with an indication in months. For example, "6M" means that a product remains compliant with safety standards imposed on it for 6 months after it is opened.
