About Ole Henriksen
Established in 1983, Ole Henriksen is a distinguished clinical Scandinavian skincare brand that has been a trailblazer in the beauty industry for nearly four decades. Founded by Ole Henriksen himself, who overcame cystic acne at age 19, the brand was born out of a personal quest for effective skincare solutions. This journey led to the opening of his namesake spa in Los Angeles, where his signature 'Ole Glow' facial treatments have become synonymous with radiant, healthy skin.
Inspired by the transformative results and positive responses from his clients, Henriksen introduced his skincare line in 1983, with a focus on gentle yet potent formulas infused with vitamin C. This pioneering ingredient, which Henriksen was among the first to incorporate into skincare, remains a cornerstone of the brand's offerings due to its ability to revitalize and illuminate the skin. One of the brand's standout products is the Banana Bright+ Eye Crème, a global bestseller renowned for its immediate brightening, hydrating, and protective benefits, thanks to its innovative gold-complexed vitamin C formula.
Under the stewardship of LVMH, Ole Henriksen has experienced significant growth since its acquisition in 2011, spearheaded by Alexandra Kole. Kole's strategic initiatives, including expanding the brand's management team and increasing international brand awareness, have resulted in Ole Henriksen's presence in over 22 countries. The brand has consistently outperformed sales targets at QVC and Sephora, a testament to its loyal customer base and the effectiveness of its offerings. The brand's recent reformulation of the Banana Bright Eye Crème, which improved its natural aroma and made it vegan without compromising its efficacy, underscores Ole Henriksen's commitment to innovation and quality.
Where to find the batch code on Ole Henriksen products?
Finding the batch code on your Ole Henriksen product is essential for tracking its freshness. For skincare products like serums or creams, look at the bottom of the glass jar or plastic bottle. The code is often etched into the container or printed in a small, contrasting color.
If you have a tube (like a cleanser or hand cream), check the crimped seal at the very top. For boxed items, Ole Henriksen usually stamps the same alphanumeric code on the outer packaging near the barcode or ingredient list. Most Ole Henriksen batch codes consist of 3 to 6 characters, combining letters and numbers.
Important: Period After Opening (PAO)
While the batch code reveals the expiration date for unopened products, the **Period After Opening (PAO)** symbol is what you must follow once you use the product for the first time. Look for an "open jar" icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M, 12M). This indicates how many months your Ole Henriksen product remains safe and effective after the seal is broken.
