The cosmetics and personal care industry is one of the most dynamic and highly regulated sectors in the market. In an environment where consumer trust and regulatory compliance are critical, proper product marking plays an essential role.
Regulatory compliance
All cosmetic products must display clear and legible markings with mandatory information such as:
- Expiration date
- Batch or lot number
- Manufacturer identification
- Usage instructions and warnings
These markings are required by regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Health, ARMED (in Angola), and equivalent agencies in other countries. The absence of or illegibility in such markings can lead to fines, product recalls, and a loss of credibility in the market.
Traceability and quality control
Batch coding enables the tracking of each unit from production to the point of sale. In case of complaints or irregularities, this information facilitates swift and accurate investigations and corrective actions.
Moreover, internal quality control becomes more effective, reducing risks and increasing supply chain efficiency.
Brand protection and Anti-Counterfeiting
Poorly marked products or low-quality codes are more vulnerable to counterfeiting. Modern coding systems—such as those from LINX, represented by Mark-Xtra—ensure secure, durable, and high-quality printing that is difficult to replicate.
Consumer Confidence
In the personal care segment, trust is everything. Today’s consumers pay close attention to the origin, expiration, and safety of the products they use. Proper and clear markings reinforce a brand’s image as responsible, transparent, and committed to quality.
