Date on the Cosmetics

0I bought some cosmetics in the US, but I don't know the date of the production or the date of best use.02br
00For example: 02br
0018DN04 (on a lip balm)02br
02br
0018D804 (on a lip balm)02br
007NC (on some moisture cream) 02br
00Can someone tell me what does these letters and numbers mean? Do they mean the production date or it is best before this date? 0-

0I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that the US does not require cosmetics to list use-by dates, the way the UK (and I think the rest of Europe?) does. Ah yes, 05000you are. 0250hrefhttp://www.cfsan.fda.gov/%7Edms/cos-207.htmlchere
