But do you really understand the meaning of the packaging symbols?

Let Beaunion introduce more for you.

PERIOD AFTER OPENING (PAO)  
European standards require that any product with a shelf life of fewer than 30 months be labeled with a "best used by"date. This indicates how long the product is good for, in terms of months, after it's been opened.

 FURTHER INFORMATION
This symbol is used when there is not enough space to include all the necessary information. This may also contain the ingredient list, which is important to check if you have allergies or are sensitive to anything in the product. 

 ESTIMATED SIGN
The Estimated Symbol(or E symbol for short) is used to show that the product is filled using an "average fill system". Show in grams or milliliters, the E symbol would be placed directly after the amount indicated on the container.

 GREEN DOT
This symbol is used in Europe to show that the manufacturer pays a recovery and recycling organization to oversee ecologically responsible management of their packaging waste. All companies in Europe and the UK have a legal obligation to recycle and recover packaging waste which is typically done by outsourcing to a specialist company.

 CERTIFIED NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS SYMBOL
This symbol is an internationally recognized logo that signifies that the manufacturer does not perform any animal testing in another regular term is "Cruelty free".

 VEGAN FORMULA AVAILABLE
This symbol signifies that the manufacturers use vegan ingredients and process when producing the products.

 RECYCLING ARROWS TRIANGLE
This symbol indicates that the container is recyclable. There are variations of the symbol to communicate information about the container, this tells the particular resin used in making the container's plastic to help the recycling process.

 FLAMMABLE 
The "flammable" symbol is a warning to keep flames or high heat away from the product at all times because it's flammable. Cosmetic products like hairspray, deodorant, nail polish, and nail polish remover are typically flammable due to certain ingredients like alcohol and propellant gas. 

 BEST BEFORE END OF DATE(BBE)
If the product has a lifespan of fewer than 30 months, it must have a BBE date on the label. The hourglass symbol can be followed by the date, or words"Best before end of", which can be abbreviated to "BBE" or "EXP" like the PAO statement, BBE is only required in the European Union.
