The Importance of Hygiene Labels & Cosmetics Labels

When it comes to the hygiene industry, beauty industry and cosmetics industry, the visual appearance of product packaging, materials and labels are of the utmost importance. Any product that is created to care for, enhance or make you beautiful must make an impact itself - especially when it has plenty of competitors. Standing out isn’t just down to cosmetic label design however. It’s down to label materials. It’s down to down to label quality. It’s down to label embel­lis­hments. And ultimately, it’s down to you choosing a custom printed label business that has experience in cosmetics labels and hygiene labels.

At Lemur Labels, we know that beauty and cosmetic products come in various shapes and sizes, and have to withstand different environments - such as handbags, makeup cases, bathroom cabinets and by the shower. From the label design and label shape through to adhesive labels and label material, there’s a lot that you need to consider when it comes to creating a durable, stylish and beneficial label for your hygiene and cosmetic products. Luckily, we know a thing or two about creating custom printed labels that meet these labelling requ­ire­ments, and can even advise on waterproof labels that keep key product information easily readable and accessible for as long as your customers use your products.

Whether you’re a makeup producer, soap manufacturer or create custom shampoos for sensitive skin, together, we can create bespoke cosmetics labels and hygiene labels that are beautiful as the effects of the products themselves.

Information Required on Hygiene & Cosmetics Labels

Whether you need makeup labels, hair dye labels, shampoo labels, soap labels, deodorant labels, bath salt labels, cosmetic aerosols, facial make-up cosmetics or body scrub labels, there is important information that must appear on your hygiene labels and cosmetic labels, to ensure compliance with industry regulations such as EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. This information not only ensures the safety of your customers, but ensures they are clear on the effects your product will have on them.

Hygiene Product Labelling & Cosmetic Labelling Requirements Include:

• Contact Details: The name and address of the responsible company must be on the container, product packaging and cosmetic label or hygiene label. Where the product is manufactured outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the country of origin must also be given.

• Shelf Life: Where a cosmetics product has a minimum durability of 30 months or less, the cosmetic label must be marked with a best-before date or an hour glass symbol. This should appear as: 'Best used before the end of', followed by the date (day / month / year, or month / year) or an indication of where the date appears on the product packaging. If any particular conditions must be observed to guarantee the stated durability, these must also be described. 

• Where a cosmetic product or hygiene product has a shelf life of more than 30 months, it must be marked with a tub symbol and an indication (in months, or years and months) of the period after opening for which the product can be used without harming the consumer. Common indications include: ‘3M’, ‘6M’, ‘9M’, ‘12M’, ‘18M’ and ‘24M’. 

• Ingredient List: Cosmetic labels must include cosmetic ingredient labelling. Headed ‘­Ingredients’, they should appear in descending order of weight, determined at the time the ingredient was added to the product. This requirement also applies to imported products, professional products, free samples, cosmetic sample packs, tester samples, multi-component products, products sold by mail order or via the internet, and products provided in hotels and other public facilities.

• The ingredient name must be that listed in the Inter­national Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) or, if no such name is listed, one of the following:

• Chemical Name

• European Pharma­copoeia Name

• Inter­national Nonprop­ri­etary Name (INN), as recommended by the World Health Organisation

• European Inventory of Existing Commercial chemical Substances (EINECS), Inter­national Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), or Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) identi­fica­tion reference

• Colour Index Number

• Batch Code: The batch number of manufacture or the reference for identifying the goods. This is especially useful if you need to enact a product recall.

• Product Function: Clarifi­cation on what the product is, to remove any misun­der­stan­dings or ambiguities. For example, ‘Shampoo’, ‘Blusher’ or ‘Eyeshadow’.

• Precautions or Product Warnings: Precautions to be observed in use, as shown in the annexes to the EU Cosmetic Label Regulations, must be printed on the cosmetics label or hygiene label. Examples include: “Avoid contact with eyes.” and ‘’Do not swallow.’’ 

There is also a range of optional information that you can include on your makeup labels, hair dye labels, shampoo labels, soap labels, facial make-up cosmetics labels, deodorant labels, bath salt labels or body scrub labels, and this includes:

• Cruelty Free.

• Organic.

• Hypo­al­ler­genic.

• Recycling symbols, such as the mobius loop, green dot and ‘Keep Britain Tidy’.

What Can Lemur Labels Do For You?

Hygiene product labels and cosmetic labels not only need to look great, but also need to comply with EU cosmetic regulations, and be resistant to moisture, heat and wear and tear, without becoming unsightly. They must also remain adhesive and legible despite the effects of water, oils and other elements that naturally have an impact on hygiene labels and cosmetics labels when they are handled. Whether you’re after creative label design, industry-compliance support or labels that comprise both for your cosmetics business, skin care business or hygiene product range, here at Lemur Labels, we can help. Our labels for cosmetic products, skin care products and hygiene products ensure that key information is visible at all times, and that your branding and values are clear too.

From initial concept to production, we’ll discuss your special labelling requirements with you throughout, and our in house designer can create artwork that grabs your target consumers’ attention. With various adhesives and adhesive labels also available - including peel and reseal and the ‘no-label look’ - information can be presented in highly-sophis­ticated ways. There’s truly no end to our artistry and expertise.

The ‘no label look’ is a popular option - especially for cosmetic products. Blending naturally with the container, these labels provide a premium look that increases shelf appeal no end.

Our Printing Capabilities

Cosmetic products and hygiene products can cleanse and protect the skin, as well as boost our appearance and beauty. Our cosmetic labels and hygiene labels can improve the quality and beauty of your products too, and give them a stronger position on the shelves.

How do we do this? Well, we’ve invested heavily in our label printing solution - namely our flexographic printing press (Edale Fl3) and our digital Screen Truepress Jet L350uv+, which we encourage you to learn more about below:

The Edale Fl3

• Flexography is a printing process that uses a flexible relief plate, adhered to a printing cylinder or printing sleeve. It can be used for printing on a range of substrates, including gloss white paper, plastic, metallic films, cellophane and thermal paper, as well as holographic materials. We can advise on which materials and adhesives are best suited for your cosmetics labels and hygiene product labels.

• Our high speed Edale Fl3 flexographic printing station can print up to 200m per minute, as well as up to 6 colours and finishes in one pass.

• It can use a combination of spot and process colours using UV inks. Spot pantone matching systems ensure consistency of branded colours, and we can use process colours for clear, crisp imagery - especially useful for showing distinct makeup colours and hair dye colours, and its usage on models.

• Guarantees precision throughout the run and delivers consistency every single time.

 The Screen Truepress Jet L350uv+

• Our digital printer is a reel-fed machine, which can handle media that is up to 350mm wide, and incorporates piezo electric inkjet printheads jetting a UV-cured ink with a conventional UV lamp system for curing.

• The Screen Truepress Jet L350uv+ can print up to 60m per minute, and ensures stunning colour, remarkable quality and throughput throughout.

• A combination of proprietary UV curing inks and high-resolution screening technologies enable superb graphic expression with smooth gradations and a wide colour gamut. SCREEN unique technologies for TruepressJet L350 series also allow droplet size to be controlled in four steps, supporting the creation of extremely natural-looking gradations. This has proved a popular choice for eyeshadow palettes.

• Allows flexible printing for multiple SKUs and produces less waste.

Our Process: From Quote To Delivery

Our label printing services will ensure that your custom printed labels are created with clarity and care, and that you receive the business labels that you are after. Whether you’re after facial make-up cosmetics labels, hair dye labels, shampoo labels, soap labels, deodorant labels, bath salt labels or body scrub labels, we’ll make the process from label quote to label delivery as smooth as possible.

• When you contact us about your cosmetic labels or hygiene product label needs, we’ll discuss with you our custom printed label options, and recommend materials, artwork and print. We also offer a range of label unwinding styles, including ‘head first, inside wound’ and ‘foot first, outside wound’.

• We’ll then offer you a custom printed label quote, which, should you give the go ahead, we’ll schedule in your label order and any label artwork you’d like us to create.

• We’ll then print your labels on our flexographic Edale Fl3 printing machine or our Screen Truepress Jet L350uv+ digital printer. Once printed on the press, we’ll finish them as required, taking into consi­dera­tion our wide range of finishing options, including lamination, varnishing (gloss or matt) or spot UV varnish - where we can make certain parts of the label glossy, and other parts matt.

• After your cosmetic labels or hygiene labels have been fed through our Digicon lite machine for the best in label finishing, your custom printed labels then go onto a ‘rewinder’ machine. This rewinds your business labels into smaller roll labels based on your quote specifi­cations. You may, for example, have requested 1,000 cosmetic labels per roll.
