Cosmetics including makeup, shampoo and conditioner, and body products like bath soap and lotion can be a challenge. Most cosmetic products are highly perishable. Many are made with natural ingredients that can spoil. While others contain waxes and oils that can melt or degrade if not properly protected. If you are looking at shipping cosmetics, here are some of things you know to protect your cargo with thermal pallet covers.

● Temperature Fluctuations: Most cosmetics are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Both heat and cold can lead to product damage and degradation. It is critical that these products are fully insulated and protected from temperature shifts.
● Packaging Is Extremely Important: In the cosmetic world, packaging is part of the quality offering. Packaging communicates the brand idea and the luxury value of the product. It’s important that during shipping, cosmetic packaging does not get damaged.
● Market Trends: The cosmetic market is highly impacted by trends. Thus it is important that you always stay agile and avoid disruptions to delivery. Cosmetics products quickly come in and out of style, so to be able to act quickly to meet these demands.
● Theft: Cosmetics are often extremely expensive. For example, a luxury face serum can cost hundreds of dollars per bottle. Thus, like all high-value items, cosmetics are very vulnerable to theft.
