Cosmetic Labeling Review

Most countries have specific labeling and marking requirements for cosmetic products.

Common information required for product labeling includes:

• Statement of Identity 
• Instructions for Use 
• Ingredient List 
• Name and Address of Manufacturer / Importer / Representative 
• Net Content 
• Lot Number / Batch Code 
• Warning Statements 
• Expiration Date
• Language Requirement
    

Notably, most of the information (other than the ingredient list) is required for both the outer packaging and inner container.
