Skincare Freshness Labels

Odacite 'Freshiency' Labels Empower Consumers With Best-Before Dates

— October 11, 2009 — Eco
While I know the exact day my milk will sour, I have no clue when my face moisturizer will start to be ineffective and unhygienic. (I admit, I didn’t even know that my moisturizer would be anything less than moisturizing!) Los Angeles-based Odacité aims to combat this information deficiency with ‘freshiency’ labels for its skincare products.

According to Springwise, Odacité states that when it comes to skincare “freshness is the key to effectiveness,” and so marks each of its products with a ‘Freshiency Date.’ These freshiency labels show the month the product was made and the month after which it will begin to degrade.

Along with freshiency labels, Odacité ensures all-around product freshness by only selling online so that items can be made in small batches and immediately shipped. Since Odacité encourages items to be kept in the fridge to maximize freshness, it also has a branded mini-fridge available for purchase!
Trend Themes
1. Skincare Freshness Monitoring - The trend of skincare freshness labels allows consumers to track the effectiveness and expiry of their skincare products, empowering them to make informed purchasing decisions.
2. Direct-to-consumer Skincare - The rise of direct-to-consumer skincare brands like Odacité enables small batch production and immediate shipping, ensuring product freshness and eliminating the need for retail distribution.
3. Refrigerated Skincare Storage - The introduction of branded mini-fridges by Odacité provides an innovative solution for consumers to maximize the freshness and extend the shelf life of their skincare products.
Industry Implications
1. Skincare - The skincare industry can leverage freshness labels and direct-to-consumer models to enhance product transparency and deliver fresh and effective skincare solutions to consumers.
2. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry can benefit from the trend of direct-to-consumer skincare brands, as it allows for efficient small batch production and immediate shipping of products.
3. Household Appliances - The household appliances industry can explore opportunities to create specialized mini-fridges for skincare storage, catering to the growing demand for preserving the freshness and efficacy of beauty products.
