Ivory Batch Code Checker
Estimate the manufacturing date for U.S. Ivory Baby Foaming Wash and Shampoo: Fragrance free or Softly scented, 16.9 FL OZ (500 mL). Coverage is limited; results are estimates.
Lookup coverage and limits
Match the product, scent and size on your package. The code cannot identify the product or manufacturing era automatically. Soaps and other body washes are outside this lookup. Results have day precision, but the decade remains unknown: the tool selects the most recent non-future UTC candidate, not a confirmed manufacturing year. The placeholder is a synthetic example, with no automatic expiry date supplied.
Your next steps
Make sense of your Ivory result
Use the estimate alongside the instructions on your own product.
Keep the complete package code
Compare the container and carton. Record the letters, leading zeros and any separate printed date. Keep photos of both markings if they differ.
Read expiry and opening instructions
An EXP or best-before date is different from a LOT code. The open-jar symbol gives months after first opening; it does not reveal when the product was manufactured.
Check the estimate against your records
An estimate does not establish storage history or authenticity. If the date conflicts with your purchase history, keep the package details and ask the brand.

Ivory Baby product and date-estimate scope
P&G's public product certificate describes manufacturing codes for these two U.S. Ivory Baby washes. It does not establish date-code coverage for other Ivory products or confirm the age of your bottle.
What the official source confirms
- The public P&G certificate identifies Ivory Baby Foaming Wash and Shampoo in Fragrance free and Softly scented, both 16.9 FL OZ (500 mL).
- The certificate explains a manufacturing code but cannot confirm a user's particular product, decade, authenticity or current condition.
What to check on the package
- Confirm the U.S. Ivory Baby Foaming Wash and Shampoo product, scent and 16.9 FL OZ (500 mL) size before entering its complete lot marking.
- Check the manufacturing era separately. A matching code and a recent estimate do not establish when your bottle was made.
What is a Ivory Batch Code?
A Ivory batch code is a code used by the manufacturer to identify a production batch. It may help identify a production period when the manufacturer's coding rule is known, but the code is not automatically an expiration date.
The Ivory batch code is different from the product's barcode. Barcodes are used for checkout and inventory management. Neither a barcode nor a plausible-looking batch code proves authenticity.
Where to Find Ivory Batch Codes?
Bottom of bottle
Look for a printed or embossed lot code on the bottle base or label.
End of tube
Tube products usually have codes at the serrated seal on the tube end.
Outer packaging
Some products have batch codes printed on the bottom or side of the box.
Tip: Batch codes are usually inkjet printed or embossed with a tactile feel. If you can't find the batch code, check if the outer packaging is still available.

Common questions
Ivory Batch Code FAQ
Clear, practical answers for checking Ivory production codes and shelf life.
Why can't I find my Ivory batch code?
Enter the complete 9 or 10 ASCII letters and digits from the lot marking. Do not trim an unknown marking to fit, submit only its first four characters, or add a LOT prefix. Confirm the product and manufacturing era with the brand and your package or purchase records.
Can Ivory batch code checker verify authenticity?
A batch code cannot prove that a Ivory product is authentic. Codes can be copied, and an unsupported or unreadable code does not by itself show that a product is counterfeit. Ask the brand about an uncertain purchase.
How should I check Ivory shelf life?
This lookup supplies no automatic expiry date or default unopened shelf life. Follow the expiry and opening instructions on your own package. PAO describes use after opening and cannot confirm the manufacturing decade.
How to store Ivory cosmetics to extend shelf life?
Follow the storage instructions on your specific Ivory product. Keep the container closed as directed. Do not assume refrigeration is suitable unless the manufacturer recommends it.
