Beauty

Beauty picks, all in one place: who this category suits, what to double-check before ordering, which part of the QC photos deserves a close look, and the trap newcomers fall for most. Read this page first, then shortlist with confidence.

Beauty · Quick checks

Good for: Ingredients and volume stated, with a seller who has a track record.

Confirm: That your line carries the category at all, before you buy.

QC focus: Confirm seals are intact and the contents match the listing.

Trap: The most restricted category here — many lines refuse liquids and aerosols.

Restricted ingredients and carrier rules

Products containing alcohol, aerosols or pressurised containers face the same restrictions as fragrance, and some destinations refuse certain categories outright. Check the ingredient type against your shipping line's rules before ordering. This is the category with the highest chance of a parcel being held, and the check takes a minute.

Ingredient lists you can actually read

Ask for a photograph of the ingredient panel on the packaging rather than relying on the listing description, which is often marketing copy. If you have known sensitivities, this is the only reliable check available before purchase. Products described only by their intended effect, with no ingredient information at all, are not worth the risk on skin.

Storage, shelf life and batch codes

Heat during transit shortens the usable life of some formulations, so avoid shipping these items during the hottest months where possible. Check any production or expiry code on arrival and note it. Store products away from direct sunlight and humidity, and treat a changed smell or texture as a reason to stop using the product immediately.

Ordering this through Kakobuy

Paste the item link into the order form and Kakobuy's team places the order with the seller for you, then holds the parcel at their warehouse until you approve it. QC photos are uploaded to your account rather than sent by message, so check them there. Items from different sellers can be held and combined into one shipment before you ask for it to be sent.
