Dr.Althea: ingredients and batch codes
Decoded ingredient lists for Dr.Althea products, perfume notes where relevant, and whether Dr.Althea batch codes can tell you when a product was made.
Korean cosmetics must print an expiry date (or a period-after-opening plus the manufacture date) on the pack, so there is no code to decode. Look for something like EXP20270701 or MFD20240701.
