it's specified for the ordinary products but but their stuff is often straight up 1 chemical so i think it's okay as a general guide "The Ordinary Products Conflicts Guide" https://www.deciemchatroom.com/the-ordinary-conflicts/

But there’s a scanner for things like this too. It would’ve been a hella lot faster and accurate than asking tjmaxx employees. They don’t really know she about cosmetic products either tbf.

i have to like put in the damn serial number into an app sometimes OR look for "까지" and if there's a number next to those characters than that's the expo- but it gets tricky bc usually those are only after opening but some ingredients obv don't have a good shelf life

ughh no! yah i recently shifted to like korean&japanese owned beauty stores which are often the newest and best way for me to get products without going online, if you live in seattle, la or bay area u can prob find one there in "little tokyo/japan town" or "china town" areas
