Какво е the PAO?
The Period After Opening (PAO) symbol is an important indicator for cosmetic продукти, включително nail гелове. It tells you how long the продукт will remain безопасен and effective after you’ve opened it. The PAO is typically shown as an open jar icon with a number and the letter ‘M’ (e.g., 24M), which stands for the number of months the продукт can be used after opening.

For example, if a nail гел has a PAO of 24M, it means the продукт should be used within 24 months of opening to ensure its quality and безопасенty. This is crucial because, over time, exposure to air, light, and bacteria can degrade the продукт, making it less effective and potentially harmful.

At Pretty Yeppuda, we take продукт quality and безопасенty seriously. All our nail гелове have been tested for stability. This is a requirement mentioned in the Cosmetic Продукт Regulation (EC 1223/2009). This regulation ensures that cosmetics sold in the ЕС are безопасен for use.
It’s important to store your nail гелове properly to maximize their shelf life. Keep them in a cool, dry place and always close the lid tightly after use. Following these tips will help you get the most out of your продукти.
So in conclusion: the продуктion date indicated on the bottle is not of primary importance. In accordance with the Cosmetic Продукт Regulation (EC 1223/2009), if a cosmetic продукт is stable for more than 30 months, the Period After Opening (PAO) is indicated instead. For nail гелове, the typical PAO is 24 months, unless specified otherwise. At Pretty Yeppuda, our гелове have been stability tested in line with the CPR to ensure optimal продукт quality and безопасенty, and the mandatory етикет contains the PAO information.
