Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Cosmetic licensing

    Skin care cream falls under cosmetic regulations; ensure CDSCO/State drug license compliance and proper product labeling before commercial sales.

  • Raw material sourcing

    Reliable supply of cosmetic-grade emollients, preservatives, and fragrances is critical; price volatility can impact margins.

  • Shelf-life management

    Creams have short shelf lives; implement batch tracking and FIFO inventory to avoid expiry-related losses.

  • Hygiene standards

    Manufacturing area must meet basic GMP hygiene norms; non-compliance can lead to product rejection or legal action.
