Partial The app and scanning are easy, but accurate date decoding depends on a per-brand database of batch-code formats that must be researched and maintained, and that data is the real moat.
What it would actually take: The stack is a simple web or iOS app with barcode and camera scanning, a lookup API, and a database. The hard part is collecting and validating the encoding schemes for each cosmetic and perfume brand, including ambiguous formats, which takes manual research, sample codes with known dates, and ongoing maintenance. Someone with cosmetics industry knowledge or access to brand data is needed to make it accurate.
