Shades, batches and expiry dates
Beauty carries three things most catalogues handle badly: a shade that has to be seen, a batch that has to be traced, and an expiry date that has to be respected.
What this category needs
Shades as variants, shown properly
A swatch rather than a word, with its own stock — because a shade that is out of stock is a different product to the customer.
Batch and expiry
Tracked per unit, so you sell the oldest stock first and never ship something close to its date.
Ingredients and claims
Structured ingredient listings, which regulators and customers both look for.
Samples and subscriptions
A sample with an order, and a repeat delivery for anything consumable.
Regulated goods, and the paperwork that comes with them
Cosmetics and supplements sold in the UAE are subject to registration and labelling requirements, and marketplace listings get pulled for getting them wrong. What the store can do is hold the data in structured fields — ingredients, claims, batch, expiry — so it is there when someone asks for it.
We are software, not a regulatory consultant. Confirm your own product registrations with the relevant authority; what we can guarantee is that the store will not be the reason the information is missing.
