Because the real glow starts with products that are fresh, safe, and effective.
Let’s be honest: we’ve all held onto that favorite moisturizer a little too long.
Maybe it was expensive, maybe it “still smells fine,” or maybe we just forgot when we opened it. But here’s the thing — expired beauty products can do more harm than good.
Old formulas can lose their potency, harbor bacteria, or even cause irritation. And yet, most of us aren’t sure how long our beauty products actually last after opening.
That’s why we built the Glou “Is My Beauty Product Expired?” Freshness Checker — an interactive quiz that helps you quickly figure out if your skincare, makeup, or haircare product is still safe to use, or if it’s time to let it go.
How It Works
It’s simple:
Answer a few quick questions — like where you store your products, how you apply them, and whether you’ve noticed any changes in smell or texture.
The Checker analyzes your answers and gives you a clear result:
✅ Safe to Use
👀 Keep an Eye Out
🚫 Time to Toss
You'll also get expert-backed tips on how to store and care for your products better next time.
It’s like having a mini beauty scientist (and sustainability coach) right on your screen.
Why We Made This Tool
At Glou, we believe that beauty should feel good — not just for you, but for the planet. That means using what you have, caring for it properly, and disposing of it responsibly when its time comes.
Our Freshness Checker is part of our mission to make conscious beauty effortless, educational, and empowering.
