Cosmetic brands do not get judged in the lab. They get judged on the shelf. You can have a strong formulation, a compelling brand story, and real demand behind a product. But if the label looks even slightly off, perception drops immediately. That disconnect is where brand erosion starts. Not because the product is weak, but because the packaging makes it look inconsistent.
