Expiration dates on cosmetics labels are not required by the F.D.A., but you can apply your own with Beauty Alert!® stickers.

Once cosmetics are opened, the spoilage process begins, reducing their effectiveness and allowing bacterial growth that can cause irritations or infections.

Beauty Alert!® packages contain 24 specially-designed stickers, 6 stickers for each of 4 categories of product life. Stickers feature optimum adherence and durability.

Price: $8.50 per pack.

Beauty Alert!® Professional Testimonials
"The first time I heard about Beauty Alert! Labels, I thought: "What a simple but brilliant idea...I can't believe no one's thought of it earlier!" As a cosmetic and medical dermatologist, I value the importance of what my patients are applying to their face and body. Every day, I advise people about what products are best for their skin, however I never had an effective way to counsel them about getting rid of products that have expired. Numerous scientific studies have shown that cosmetics can grow a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, especially once they are opened.
"Organic" or "natural" products that contain fewer preservatives and thus seem "better for the skin" may actually become contaminated even more easily. Eye make-up in particular can be a potentially hazardous source of eye infections. We know that once a tube of mascara has been opened, 36% have microbial growth by 3 months*. Expired or contaminated products used on the skin may lead to skin irritation, rashes, or infections, especially if there are any breaks in the skin, such as with eczema or acne. Without expiration dates on the product packaging, it's impossible to know when items should be thrown out. The people at Beauty Alert! have done their research and have taken the guesswork out about recommended product replacement times. Beauty Alert! Labels make it easy for me now to offer guidelines to my patients about disposing of potentially contaminated cosmetic products and ensuring their skin health."

"A recommended way of keeping track of exactly how long any product with a shelf life has been opened. Waiting until something smells or separates might be past the time when harmful bacteria is present."
Dr. Jennifer L. Melville, M.D., M.P.H.

"A great idea to keep track of how long products have been opened, including personal products and feminine products."
Dr. Dorcas McLennan, M.D.
