Certification for private label beauty
Have you considered putting a certification on your private label skincare or cosmetic product? Certifications can be a well-known symbol for many consumers and an indicator that a product meets certain specific requirements.
Why use certifications?
It can be a competitive advantage to use certifications since certifications for some consumers are an important touch point when they buy personal care products.
Certifications make it easier for consumers to identify your products’ claims and can help communicate your overall brand strategy and values. A brand that sells allergy-friendly skin care will benefit from having a certification, such as Allergy Certified on their products, to reassure customers that the product meets some high standards in allergy-friendly skin care.
Types of certifications

The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is the official sustainability ecolabel for products from Nordic countries.
