The Problem
The True Cost of Expired Cosmetics Reaching Customers
Pain Point
Reputation-Destroying Customer Complaints
One expired cream or serum causes skin irritation, negative reviews, social media backlash, and returns. In beauty, trust is everything — and hard to rebuild.
Pain Point
Write-Offs from Short Shelf-Life Products
Natural and organic formulations expire faster. Without FEFO automation, newer stock ships first while older batches degrade into unsellable waste.
Pain Point
EU Cosmetics Regulation Compliance
EU Regulation 1223/2009 requires batch traceability and responsible person records. Selling in Europe without proper documentation creates serious legal exposure.
Pain Point
PAO and Expiry Tracking Chaos
Tracking both manufacturing dates and Period After Opening (PAO) across hundreds of SKUs in spreadsheets is error-prone and audit-risky.

Zero expiry incidents
"Before TraceLot, we spent 7 hours weekly updating batch spreadsheets and manually checking expiry dates. One error led to 12 expired creams reaching customers — the complaints were brutal. Since implementing TraceLot, we've had zero expired shipments in 9 months and reclaimed an entire workday per week."
