Dear Team,
We are currently in the process of developing an innovative cosmetic product 
and are working through the legal requirements – particularly in regard to 
labelling and packaging.
As an Estonian-registered company (Trade Mates OÜ), we intend to sell 
primarily in the German market and therefore aim to fully comply with German 
and EU cosmetic regulations.
At this stage, we are looking for reliable partners in the field of product 
assessment and certification (e.g. safety assessment), and could well 
imagine working with you more closely in the future.
To proceed efficiently, we would greatly appreciate a brief initial expert 
opinion – purely for orientation purposes – so we understand the core 
requirements from the outset.
About the product:
The product is a very compact stick, approximately the size of a lip balm, 
with two-sided application.
Each end contains a different blend of natural essential oils (e.g. menthol, 
eucalyptus, camphor, lemongrass, etc.).
It is intended both for applying to the skin (e.g. temples, wrists) and for 
direct inhalation, depending on the variant – designed to support either 
relaxation, focus, or energy in daily life.
We clearly classify it as a cosmetic product and have compiled a preliminary 
list of potential labelling elements.
We would kindly ask for your input on the following:

1.	Are there any mandatory elements missing from our current list?
2.	Which of the following elements do you consider unnecessary or not 
applicable?
3.	Which of these must be printed on the external packaging?
4.	Which are required directly on the product (stick) itself?

Our list so far:

*

	Product name, brand, and logo
*

	Slogan / marketing message
*

	Short description
*

	Usage instructions
*

	Ingredients
*

	INCI ingredient declaration
*

	Nominal content
*

	Expiry date / PAO symbol
*

	Safety / warning instructions
*

	Manufacturer or responsible person address
*

	Country of origin
*

	Packaging symbols
*

	ISBN or batch number

As our product design is deliberately minimalist, we are keen to include 
only the legally required information – especially on the stick itself.
We would truly appreciate your assistance with this initial clarification 
and would be happy if this could lead to a continued collaboration.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Timo Schatz & Amon Eller
