## Key Questions to Ask When Ordering Frosted Glass Cosmetic Jars.

When you’re in the market for frosted glass cosmetic jars, it’s crucial to consider several factors to ensure you’re making the best choice for your brand. Here's a step-by-step guide to the key questions you should ask to make an informed decision.

### What is the Purpose of the Jars?

1. **Define the Product**: Determine what type of cosmetic product you will be storing in these jars—whether it's face cream, body lotion, or serums. Different products may have specific requirements in terms of material compatibility.

2. **Volume and Size**: Ascertain the most appropriate size for your product. Do your clients prefer travel-size jars, or do they lean towards larger, value sizes?

### Are the Jars Compatible with the Product?

1. **Material Safety**: Confirm that the frosted glass used is suitable for cosmetics and won't react with the product. This is essential to ensure the longevity and safety of your product.

2. **Preservation**: Consider whether the frosted glass provides sufficient protection against light and air, which can degrade certain cosmetics over time.

### What is the Quality of the Frosted Glass?

1. **Durability**: Assess the thickness and sturdiness of the glass to ensure it can withstand transportation and handling without breaking.

2. **Frosting Quality**: Ensure the frosting is evenly applied and durable, as poor-quality frosting can chip or wear off, affecting the product’s aesthetic appeal.

### What Customization Options are Available?

1. **Branding**: Ask about printing options like screen printing, embossing, or stickers to showcase your brand's logo and information.

2. **Customization Flexibility**: Determine if the supplier can customize the jar size, shape, and cap type according to your branding needs.

### What are the Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)?

1. **Order Limitations**: Check the minimum order quantities required by the supplier. Small businesses may face challenges if the MOQs are too high.

2. **Scalability**: Inquire if the supplier can handle your growth, offering flexibility as your demand scales over time.

### What are the Lead Times?

1. **Production Time**: Understand the lead times for manufacturing and delivery. This is particularly crucial if you have a tight launch schedule.

2. **Rush Orders**: Ask if the supplier can expedite orders in case of urgent requirements and what the additional costs might be.

### What is the Cost Structure?

1. **Unit Cost**: Analyze the cost per jar and how it fits into your pricing strategy. High-quality frosted glass may be more costly, but it can attract premium customers.

2. **Additional Costs**: Identify any hidden costs, such as setup fees for customized designs, shipping charges, and taxes.

### Who are the Other Clients and What Are Their Reviews?

1. **Clientele**: Check if the supplier works with reputable brands, which can be an indicator of reliability and quality.

2. **Reviews and Testimonials**: Look for feedback from other clients. Satisfied customers often share positive reviews that can offer peace of mind.

### What Are the Environmental Impacts?

1. **Sustainability**: Determine if the jars are eco-friendly. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their purchases.

2. **Recyclability**: Ensure that the jars can be easily recycled, adding an extra layer of appeal to eco-conscious customers.

By asking these crucial questions, you can make a well-rounded decision when ordering frosted glass cosmetic jars. Doing so helps ensure that you select jars that align with your brand’s quality, aesthetic, and functional needs, thereby satisfying your customers and maintaining your brand’s reputation.

Cosmetics Labeling Guide - FDA

Front Panel

Information Panels

The information above must appear on the label of the inner (immediate) container holding the cosmetic product. The inner container is packaged and displayed in a non-transparent box, folding carton etc. If the outer container is removed and the product displayed for sale without it, the label of the immediate container becomes a label of an outer container.

Form of Stating Required Information

Section 602(c) of the FD&C deems a cosmetic misbranded if any word, statement, or other label or labeling information required by law or regulation is not placed on the label or labeling with such prominence and conspicuousness that it is likely to be read, or if it is not stated in such terms that it is likely to be understood by ordinary individuals.

Prominence and Conspicuousness

  • Panel display at purchase

  • Panel size

  • Style and size of letters

  • Background contrast

  • Obscuring designs, vignettes

21 CFR 701.2

Regulations [21 CFR 701.2] published by the FDA offer detailed information on how to comply with the requirement for prominent and conspicuous placement of information on cosmetic labels or labeling.

Panel display: The required information must be on a panel which is presented or displayed under customary conditions of purchase. This eliminates placement of required information on a bottom panel of a cosmetic unless it is very small and customarily picked up by hand where inspected for possible purchase.

Panel Size: The label must be large enough to provide sufficient space for prominent display of the required information.

Style and Size of Letters: The type must be of such size, and at least of the required minimum size, and of such style that the required label statements are easily readable.

Background Contrast: The contrast must be sufficient to make the required label statements conspicuous and easily readable.

Obscuring Designs, Vignettes: The required statements must not be obscured by vignettes or other designs or by crowding with other printed or graphic matter.

Language

  • English language statements

  • Foreign language statements

21 CFR 701.2(b)

English Language Statements: All label or labeling statements required by law or regulation must be in the English language. Products distributed solely in Puerto Rico or a Territory where the predominant language is one other than English, may state the required label information in the predominant language in place of English.

Foreign Language Statements: If the label contains any foreign language representation, all statements required by regulation must also appear on the label in the foreign language. If labeling bears foreign language representations, the required statements must appear on the label or other labeling as required in English.

Net Contents Declaration on PDP: Minimum letter height determined by the area of the PDP. In the case of "boudoir-type" containers, including decorative cosmetic containers of the cartridge, pill box, compact or pencil type, and cosmetics of 1/4 oz. or less capacity, the type size is determined by the total dimensions of the container. If the container is mounted on a display card, the display panel determines the letter height [21 CFR 701.13(e) and (i)].

Warning Statements: Type size no less than 1/16" unless smaller size established by regulation [21 CFR 740.2].

Examples of Net Quantity Statements

"Net Wt. 6 Oz." or "6 oz. Net Wt."
"Net Contents 6 fl. Oz." or "Net 6 Fl. Oz." or "6 Fl. Oz."
"Net Wt. 1/4 Oz." or "Net Wt. 0.25 Oz."
"Net 1/8 Fl. Oz." or "0.12 FL. Oz."
"Net Wt. 24 Oz. (1-1/2 Lb.)" or "Net Wt. 24 Oz. (1.5 Lb.)"
"Net 56 Fl. Oz. (1 Qt. 1 Pt. 8 Fl. Oz.)" or "... (1 Qt. 1-1/2 Pt.)" or "... (1 Qt. 1.5 Pt.)"

Accuracy: The net quantity of contents (net contents) declaration must accurately reveal the quantity of cosmetic in the container in terms of weight, volume, measure, numerical count, or combinations of count and weight, volume or measure. Reasonable variations due to loss or gain of moisture, or deviations in good manufacturing practice, are acceptable. In case of an aerosol product, the net contents statement must express the net quantity of contents expelled.

Product Consistency: Unless there is a firmly established, general consumer usage or trade custom to the contrary, the statement must be in terms of fluid measure if the cosmetic is liquid and in terms of weight if the cosmetic is solid, semi-solid, viscous, or a mixture of solid and liquid. Fluid measures must express the volume at 68°F (20°C). The customary net contents declaration for aerosol products is in terms of weight.

Systems: Weight is expressed in terms of avoirdupois pound and ounce. Fluid measures are expressed in terms of the U.S. gallon, quart, pint and fluid ounce. Net contents may additionally be stated also in the metric system.

Unit Terms: The term "net weight" or "net wt." must be used in conjunction with a weight statement, and the term "net contents," "net" or nothing must be used in connection with a liquid statement.

Additional abbreviations are for: weight - wt., fluid - fl., gallon - gal., quart - qt., pint - pt., ounce - oz., pound - lb.

In case of a weight ounce statement, the term "oz." is sufficient. A fluid ounce is expressed as "fl. oz."

Examples:

  • Net wt. 4 av. oz.

  • Net contents 4 fl. oz.

  • 4 av. oz. net wt.

  • 4 oz. net wt.

  • Net 4 fl. oz.

  • 4 fl. oz.

Dual Declaration: If the net weight exceeds one pound but is less than 4 pounds, the net contents statement must reveal the total number of ounces followed, in parenthesis, by the number of pounds and ounces or by the number of pounds and fraction thereof. Fluid measures exceeding one pint, but being less than one gallon, must be expressed in terms of the total number of fluid ounces followed, in parenthesis, by the number of quarts, pints and ounces or by the fractions of the quart or pint.

Examples:

  • Net Wt. 24 oz. (1 lb. 8 oz.)

  • Net Wt. 24 oz. (1 - 1/2 lb.)

  • Net Wt. 24 oz. (1.5 lb.)

  • 56 fl. oz. (1 qt. 1 pt. 8 fl. oz.)

  • 56 fl. oz. (1 qt. 1-1/2 pt.)

  • 56 fl. oz. (1 qt. 1.5 pt.)

  • 56 fl. oz. (1-3/4 qt.)

Declaration of fractions: Fractions may be expressed in terms of common fractions ranging from 1/2 to 1/32 or as decimal fractions of no more than two significant numbers.

On Information Panel

Any non-deceptive supplemental statement

21 CFR 1.31 and 701.13 (g)

Economy Size: Representations of this type are permitted if the firm offers at least one other packaged size of the same brand, only one is labeled "economy size," and the unit price of the package so labeled is substantially (at least 5%) reduced compared to that of the other package.

Giant Pint, Full Quart: Supplemental statements describing the net quantity of contents are permitted on panels other than the PDP. However, these statements must not be deceptive or exaggerate the amount present in the package.

Six Applications: Declarations by numerical count or linear or area measure may be augmented by statements of weight or size of individual units or total weight or measure to give accurate information. These are not regarded as separate statements and must appear on the PDP.

Cosmetic Kit: If a package contains the integral components making up a kit and delivers the components in the manner of an application as, for example, a home permanent wave kit, the net contents declaration may be stated in terms of the number of applications as per given instructions [21 CFR 701.13 (g) (2)].

Cosmetic Warning Statements

General Requirement:
Prominence

  • Placement

  • Spacing

Conspicuousness

  • Contrast

  • Type size

21 CFR 740 (1) and (2)

Regulations require that "[the label of a cosmetic product shall bear a warning statement whenever necessary or appropriate to prevent a health hazard that may be associated with the product" [21 CFR 740(1)]. A cosmetic not bearing a necessary warning statement may be considered misbranded under sec. 602(a) of the FD&C Act because it fails to reveal a fact "material ... with respect to consequences which may result from the use of the article" [sec 201(n), FD&C Act].

Cosmetics With Unsubstantiated Safety

Warning--The safety of this product has not been determined.

21 CFR 740.10

A cosmetic is considered misbranded if its safety has not adequately been substantiated, and it does not bear the following conspicuous statement on the PDP:

Warning - The safety of this product has not been determined.

The safety of a cosmetic may be considered adequately substantiated if experts qualified by scientific training and experience can reasonably conclude from the available toxicological and other test data, chemical composition, and other pertinent information that the product is not injurious to consumers under conditions of customary use and reasonably foreseeable conditions of misuse.

The safety of a cosmetic can adequately be substantiated by:

a. Reliance on available toxicological test data on its ingredients and on similar products, and

b. Performance of additional toxicological and other testing appropriate in the light of the existing data.

Even if the safety of each ingredient has been substantiated, there usually still is at least some toxicological testing needed with the formulated product to assure adequate safety substantiation.

Cosmetic Aerosols

Warning--Avoid spraying in eyes. Contents under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not store at temperature above 120°F. Keep out of reach of children.

21 CFR 740.11 (a)

The label of a cosmetic packaged in a self-pressurized container and intended to be expelled from the package under pressure must bear the warning stated below.

The words "Avoid spraying in eyes" may be omitted if the product is not expelled as a spray. Example: Aerosol shave cream.

The word "puncture" may be replaced by the word "break" if the product is packaged in a glass container.

If the product is intended for use by children, the phrase "except under adult supervision" may be added at the end of the last sentence of the warning.

Cosmetic Aerosols

Warning--Use only as directed. Intentional misues by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal.

21 CFR 740.11 (b)

If the propellant of a cosmetic packaged in a self-pressurized container consists in whole or in part of a halocarbon or hydrocarbon, the label must bear a second warning as stated below.

This second warning is not required for the following products:

1.Aerosol foam or cream products containing less than 10% propellant.

2.Products which do not expel the propellant at the time of use. Examples: products with built-in piston barrier or propellant bag.

3.Metered spray products of less than 2 oz. net contents.

4.Aerosol products of less than 1/2 oz. net contents.

Feminine Deodorant Sprays

Caution--For external use only. Spray at least 8 inches from skin. Do not apply to broken, irritated, or itching skin. Persistent, unusual odor or discharge may indicate conditions for which a physician should be consulted. Discontinue use immediately if rash, irritation, or discomfort develops.

21 CFR 740.12

A feminine deodorant spray which, for the purpose of this regulation, is defined as "any spray deodorant product whose labeling represents or suggests that the product is for use in the female genital area or for use all over the body" must bear the caution stated below.

If the expelled product does not contain a liquefied halocarbon or hydrocarbon propellant, the sentence "Spray at least 8 inches from skin" may be omitted.

The regulation further states that the use of the word "hygiene" or "hygienic" or similar words renders any such product misbranded.

Foaming Detergent Bath Products

Caution--Use only as directed. Excessive use of prolonged exposure may cause irritation to skin and urinary tract. Discontinue use if rash, redness or itching occurs. Consult your physician if irritation persists. Keep out of reach of children.

21 CFR 740.17

A foaming detergent bath product--also known as bubble bath product--is, for the purpose of this regulation, defined as "any product intended to be added to a bath for the purpose of producing foam that contains a surface-active agent serving as a detergent or foaming ingredient."

The caution stated above is required on the label of any foaming detergent bath product which is not clearly labeled as intended for use exclusively by adults. The following are two examples of label statements identifying a product as intended for use exclusively by adults: "Keep out of reach of children" and "For adult use only."

If the bubble bath product is intended for use by children, the phrase "Keep out of reach of children" may be expanded to further read "except under adult supervision."

The regulation further requires that the label "Shall bear adequate directions for safe use" of the product.

Cosmetic Ingredient Labeling

Declaration of ingredients except flavor, fragrance, and trade secret ingredients in descending order of predominance

21 CFR 701.3

Cosmetic ingredient labeling became an issue in the early s. Guidelines for ingredient labeling were published in mid-. Regulations were proposed in early . After publication of two final regulations, stays of final regulations, terminations of stays, and lengthy court proceedings challenging the legality of the published regulations, the requirement for cosmetic ingredient labeling became fully effective in early .

The regulations requiring the declaration of cosmetic ingredients were published under the authority of the FP&L Act [secs. 5(c) and 6(a); 15 U.S.C. and ] and FD&C Act [sec. 701(e); 21 U.S.C. 371(e)].

Since the FP&L Act applies only to consumer commodities and their packages as defined in the Act, cosmetic ingredient declarations are required only on the label of the outer container of cosmetics customarily sold at retail or used in the performance of services conducted within the households. It does not apply, for example, to products used at professional establishments or samples distributed free of charge, unless such products are customarily also sold at retail, even if they were labeled "For professional use only."

The ingredients must be declared in descending order of predominance. Exceptions to this requirement are discussed later.
