- Gel-creams suit oily skin; rich creams use more oils and butters for dry skin.
- Airless packs protect sensitive actives from air.
- Peptide and 'anti-aging' claims need wording within cosmetic limits.

What to prepare before starting a private label face cream project.
Define the routine step
A day cream, night cream and treatment cream can have different textures and labeling. Start with how the customer will use it.
Keep claims proportional
Ingredients and marketing copy should not imply medical benefits. The approved wording should match the formula and destination market.
Test jar and airless compatibility
Creams differ in viscosity and stability. The selected component should be evaluated with the finished formula.
Plan fragrance and preservation
Fragrance and preservative systems influence the ingredient declaration and stability. These should be reviewed before artwork is finalized.
Tests and checks we plan for face cream
- Stability at 4 °C, 25 °C and 45 °C
- Preservative efficacy test
- Airless pump dispensing check
Common sourcing mistakes with face cream
- Too many actives without stability testing
- Jar packaging for oxidizing actives
- SPF claims on a day cream without SPF testing
Market and labeling notes
- EU: an SPF claim requires SPF testing; otherwise do not mention SPF.
- China: whitening and anti-spot claims require special registration.
