Lipstick labels must include the product name, shade, list of ingredients, batch code, manufacturer’s details, country of origin, and expiration or shelf-life indication (PAO symbol).

In both the UK and EU, lipstick labels must list all ingredients in descending order by weight. This helps consumers look for potential allergens or ingredients they may want to avoid.

Lipstick labels are regulated under the Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which is enforced by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) in the UK. The main focus is that labels provide accurate and clear information to customers.

The PAO (Period After Opening) symbol is required on lipstick labels and indicates how long the product is safe to use after being opened. It’s usually represented as an open jar icon with the number of months (e.g., 12M or 24M).

Labelservice offers lipstick labels that can be fully customized in terms of size, shape, colours, and finishes to reflect a brand’s identity. Common customisations include embossed logos, metallic foiling, or glossy and matte finishes to improve brand recognition and appeal.

Lipstick labels are made from durable materials such as high-quality paper, vinyl, or synthetic films. These materials are chosen for their resistance to smudging, wear, and exposure to moisture or oil, and they keep the label intact during use.

Lipstick labels often use pressure-sensitive adhesives designed to withstand various conditions, including contact with oils or moisture. These adhesives keep the labels securely attached to the product without peeling or losing any stickiness over time.

The accuracy and safety of lipstick labels in the UK are regulated by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) under the Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. The main focus of these regulations is that lipstick labels correctly display ingredients.
