You perfected the formula. Now make sure the label receives the same level of care.
A customer-facing cosmetic label should do more than look attractive. It should clearly
communicate the product identity, contents, ingredient information, directions, relevant
cautions, business details and traceability information.
Before printing, ask:
Does the ingredient list match the final formula?
Have I used the correct INCI names?
Can I trace this product to a specific batch?
Are my directions and cautions clear?
Is my shelf-life statement supportable?
Will the label survive water, oil and normal handling?
Does my website listing match the physical product?

Have you ever bought aloe liquid and wondered:
“How do I turn this into a gel?”
The answer is not simply “add some gum.” A successful cosmetic aloe gel requires several
carefully considered steps:
Choose a suitable thickener
Disperse it properly
Give it time to hydrate
Add appropriate broad-spectrum preservation
Check the final pH
Package it hygienically
We have put everything together in one beginner-friendly guide, including a practical
formulation using the Aloe Vera Gel (liquid) available from DIY Naturally.

Dry skin does not always need the heaviest oil or the richest butter. It needs a formula in
which each ingredient has a clear job.
A well-balanced moisturiser may include:
A humectant to help attract and retain water
An emollient to soften and smooth the skin
An occlusive component to help reduce moisture loss
Your choice of carrier oils, butters and humectants will also affect how rich, light or
protective the finished product feels.
In our complete guide, we explore:
Rich and lightweight carrier oil options
Glycerin, aloe and betaine as humectant choices
A practical face cream percentage framework
A simple oil-based serum option
How to adjust your moisturiser for Southern African seasons
Why water-containing formulas need appropriate preservation
Remember that the percentages shared are a starting framework. Always work within the
supplier’s recommended usage rates for your specific emulsifier, preservative and
cosmetic actives. Make a small test batch, monitor stability and patch test the finished
product.
