Cosmetic use by date and effective communication

Bacteria breeds as efficiently in cosmetics as anywhere else, but convincing consumers of the cosmetic use by date of their make-up has always been a challenge. Now there’s Timestrip®. Added to product packaging, Timestrips® provide a clear visual indication of when an item should be discarded and replaced.

Stay competitive
Brand loyalty is key to achieving success in today’s cosmetics market. Timestrip can help you add value to your brand at minimal cost, promoting consumer well-being on the subject of cosmetic use by date as well as the quality and integrity of the brand itself.

Simple and user-friendly
Easily activated, Timestrips® show at a glance how long has passed since a product was purchased and therefore indicate when the cosmetic use by date has expired. Timestrip® labels are inexpensive, accurate and consumer-friendly and can be fully customised to the requirements of a specific application.

Communicating crucial information
Using Timestrip® will encourage consumers to comply with replacement guidelines. The cosmetic use by date or PaO symbol already tells consumers how long a product will last once open, but Timestrip® provides the crucial bit of information: when it was first opened.
Adding Timestrips® to packaging or integrating them into the packaging itself offers consumers an easy to use, easy to read and accurate indication of how old their cosmetics actually are.

Minimum investment, maximum gain
Adding Timestrip® to a product not only adds value, it also underlines the quality of a brand and demonstrates concern for customers’ well-being. By highlighting the issue of cosmetic use by date to consumers and the need to use products within the recommended timespan will in turn drive increased repeat sales, providing another benefit - to your bottom line.

 

 

 

 

Cosmetic Use by Date and Adding Value

Lipsticks and glosses
– repeated exposure to bacteria from the mouth and temperature fluctuations experienced during life in a handbag mean these products should be replaced regularly.

Mascara and eye pencils – with a shorter recommended use-by-date than other cosmetics, out-of-date eye products can produce nasty infections.

Foundation - the liquid variety especially, as it has a shorter recommended cosmetic use by date or PaO.

Natural or organic cosmetics – fewer preservatives or none at all means a shorter shelf-life than conventional products and potentially higher levels of bacteria.

Temperature-sensitive products - Timestrips® accelerate at higher temperatures, indicating if a cosmetic use by date has been affected by warmer conditions.
