Why it matters
Beauty doesn't resell like a pair of jeans.
A formula lives, it has an expiry date and it touches your skin. That's why second-hand beauty can still feel a little scary, and that's normal.
At BeautySwapp, we built our rules with beauty and hygiene pros: what can be resold, in what condition, and how we check it. The result: you treat yourself to your favourite brands, no second thoughts.
with pros!Make-up artists, cosmetics regulation and anti-counterfeiting specialists. Inspired by salon practices, French health guidelines and the EU cosmetics regulation.

We refuse
Products over 3 years old, without a readable batch code, opened when they should be sealed, damaged or leaking, and of course any counterfeit. Expiry date coming up? The listing shows a “short date” notice, in full transparency.
How it works
The Beauty Safe™ check in 5 steps.
Several layers of checks, because one criterion is never enough.
01
Guided photos
The seller photographs her product from specific angles: packaging, bottom, cap, markings, texture. These photos let us read the batch code, check the real condition and remaining level, and spot the details of a counterfeit.
02
Traceability
The batch code is recorded to estimate the product's age. Too old, it's blocked. Close to the limit, it's flagged.
03
Label consistency
Codes, ingredient list, mandatory mentions: we check that everything matches the official references.
04
AI analysis
Our AI screens the photos and spots the micro-details that give away a counterfeit or a non-compliant product.
05
Human validation
A BeautySwapp expert approves every listing before it goes live. Any doubt? The product doesn't make it.
The details of our protocol stay our secret sauce: that's also what makes it hard to get around.
clean, clean, clean!
