← The back of the bottle
Is this legit?
Turn the bottle around. Every stamp, code and claim on the back, and whether any of it actually means something.
Stamps & Registrations Who checked it, and what they actually checked
DRAP A real registration number you can look up. Ask any seller for it. PSQCA Sets standards for how things are made. Not the same as safe. PCSIR The labs doing the actual testing behind a lot of local compliance. GMP About the factory, not the formula. Still worth knowing. Halal Covers ingredients and process. It says nothing about your skin. Pregnancy-Safe Nobody regulates the phrase. Here’s what actually gets paused.
What’s Printed on the Pack The small print, decoded
The Ingredient List Ordered by weight, but only down to 1%. After that, anything goes. The Open-Jar Symbol Months from opening, not from the expiry date. Most people miss it. MRP A ceiling price, not a fixed one. You are allowed to pay less. SPF and PA Ratings What SPF 50 actually promises, and what the plus signs add. IFRA The industry rulebook for fragrance, and where it stops. Claims That Mean Nothing Chemical-free, hypoallergenic, natural. No legal definition anywhere.
