Protect products that go directly onto skin, across India
Counterfeit cosmetics have been found to contain banned substances and contaminants, and India's beauty market is among the most heavily targeted. SNOWLEOPARD® secures the glass, cap and compact so consumers and retailers can verify before use.
A safety problem disguised as a pricing problem
Fakes are sold at near-retail prices through social and marketplace channels, so price is no longer a warning sign for the consumer.
Contaminated formulations
Counterfeit product bypasses safety testing and has been found to contain prohibited ingredients and microbial contamination.
Marketplace infiltration
Third-party sellers mix genuine and fake stock, making channel-level assurance impossible without a physical mark.
Reused prestige packaging
Empty branded bottles and compacts are refilled and resold as new through unauthorised outlets.
On the pack, never in the product
The process is non-contact and additive-free, so nothing is introduced into the formulation or its regulatory dossier.
- Fragrance bottle glass and base
- Pumps, collars and caps
- Compacts and palette housings
- Tubes and airless dispensers
- Cartons and cellophane film
Counter staff and consumers verify alike
One breath of warm vapour reveals the hidden mark — no training program, hardware or app rollout required.

Cosmetics & Perfumes questions
How is a cosmetics & perfumes item authenticated in the field?
A single breath of warm vapour mist reveals the hidden security image, which disappears in seconds as moisture evaporates. No instruments, tools, lights or apps are needed.
Will the code affect our product or packaging design?
No. The code is invisible and inscribed submicron into the material itself, so artwork, finish and regulatory dossiers stay exactly as they are.
Can counterfeiters copy the mark?
There is nothing on the surface to scan or photograph. The microstructure code appears only momentarily under vapour and is etched into the substrate, making replication virtually impossible.
How does this fit alongside our existing serialisation?
SNOWLEOPARD® sits at the covert Level 2 tier and layers beneath overt features and forensic markers, strengthening rather than replacing existing QR, barcode or track-and-trace programs.
How is it integrated into production?
Desktop-size systems run inline or off-line, and high-speed web-film systems are fully customisable. Equipment runs 24/7 on ordinary electricity with no inks, lasers, solvents or consumables.
