TO SEE HOW IT WORKS
Microbial contamination can happen during manufacturing and consumer use. The dates indicated on the packaging work if the product is stored in appropriate conditions and used according to the instructions.
However, storage dates are unreliable and do not verify the product's quality or safety. Expiration dates indicated on the product packaging require appropriate conditions, which consumers frequently do not follow. Read more

Mold Detection Science
Most beauty products contain abundant water and nutrients, making them excellent substrates for the survival of a variety of microorganisms. Semisolid-type products, including cream and rinse-off products, are the most susceptible to microbial contamination. The microbial contamination of cosmetics and the survival of microorganisms deteriorate the quality of beauty products and seriously affect human health. The solution is to detect mold before it damages the skin.
How it Works
Protective Film
Sticker application
Using cosmetics
Colour indication
FCM Indicator supplied in roles. Before activation (while cosmetic manifacturing), protective film need to be removed to expose the adhesive layer. This will allow the adhesive to bond with the surface of the jar lid.
Sticker-indicator applyed to the inside of the jar lid. It's important to make sure that the indicator is centered on the lid to ensure accurate results. Once the sticker-indicator is attached to the lid, the indicator will be activated.
Once the sticker-indicator is attached to the lid - it's activated. No extra action needed from customer side. Each time Customer open and close the jar our indicator will monitor the presence of mold spores.
After a period of time, consumers check the color of the indicator. The color change in the hydrogel indicates the pH level increase caused by the presence and development of mold and fungal cultures.
