As your professional Responsible Person,
The labelling of a cosmetic includes inner labels, outer labels, and leaflet. Overall, the final artwork of a cosmetic product labelling, must contain the following information:
- Full commercial name of your cosmetic product
- Product function (When the precautions for use cannot appear on the container and outer packaging for practical reasons, they can be added to an insert/leaflet. In this case the “open book” symbol shall appear on the labelling)
- Particular precautions for use (when the precautions for use cannot appear on the container and outer packaging for practical reasons, they can be added to an insert/leaflet. In this case the “open book” symbol shall appear on the labelling)
- Ingredient list (ingredients shall be listed with their INCI names in descending order of concentration. The ingredients list may appear on the outer packaging only)
- Expiry date (date of minimum durability or PAO. (Period after opening) for products which durability is more than 30 months)
- Responsible Person name and address
- Manufacturer’s name and address (recommended)
- Batch number (when impossible, for practical reasons, to make it appear on the product container, it may appear only on the outer packaging)
- Product country of origin (“Made in … “ only if manufactured outside the European Union)
- Nominal quantity (the nominal content at the time of packaging, given by weight or by volume, except for packaging containing less than 5 grams or milliliters, free samples and single‐application packs).
*This label example is only for general information and cannot be applied automatically to any product.
In the European Union, cosmetic claims must meet certain criteria and do not over-promise, exaggerate, or include statements that are not considered cosmetic claims (e.g., medical claims).
Our experts will:
- review wording
- help you rephrase
- collect proof of claims
