🧴 What do the symbols on your cosmetics mean?

Have you ever picked up a product and thought:
“Okay… but what is this little bunny supposed to mean? 🐰😅”

You’re not alone!
Most of us see these small symbols on packaging and… just ignore them.

👉 But they actually give you important information about the product you’re using.

Let’s break them down in a simple and clear way 👇

🐰 Cruelty Free (the “bunny”)

This means the product has not been tested on animals 🩷

👉 It’s one of the most recognized symbols in beauty
and represents a more ethical approach to production.

🌱 Vegan

This means the product does not contain any animal-derived ingredients 🌿

⚠️ Important:
Vegan ≠ Cruelty Free
(A product can be vegan but still tested on animals — so always check both 😉)

♻️ Recycling

This indicates that the packaging is recyclable ♻️

👉 Sometimes you’ll also see numbers (like 1, 2, 5)
which refer to the type of plastic.

🕒 PAO (Period After Opening)

The little open jar symbol with “6M”, “12M” etc. means:

👉 How long the product is safe to use
after opening

Example:
12M = 12 months after opening ⏳

📦 Lot Number

Not exactly a symbol, but you’ll find it on the packaging.

👉 It’s the batch number
and helps with product traceability (very important for safety).

🇬🇷 Made in…

This shows the country where the product is manufactured.

At REVCARE you’ll see:
👉 Made in Greece 🇬🇷
(and yes… we’re proud of it 😌)

💬 So… why do these symbols matter?

Because they tell you:
✔ what you’re putting on your skin
✔ how to use it correctly
✔ and what the brand stands for

💡 Small tip:
Next time you grab a product…
take a second to check the symbols before using it 😉
