Insurance has been around for decades acting like an invisible shield between claims and the things you value most. You use it to protect your home, car, health, and more. While the chances of you needing to use it are often low, having the peace of mind that comes with protection is worth the cost. But do you need insurance to sell beauty products?
In short, yes—you should have insurance to sell beauty products. Having insurance is always a good idea. No matter how rigorous your product testing is, accidents can still happen. Just one liability claim can be enough to put your business assets on the line, damage your reputation, and shut down your company.
When it comes to finding great beauty product insurance, Insurance Canopy is your answer. Over the past decade we have helped to protect a variety of beauty and personal care products. Let’s take a deeper look at why you need insurance and how our policies can work with your products.
Why You Need Beauty & Cosmetics Insurance
Whether you are selling your own beauty product you’ve designed or you retail a variety of beauty products, you are putting yourself at risk of being exposed to product liability claims. We know your goal is to help others feel confident in themselves, and the last thing you want is to harm someone else. Our policies help protect you from claims of:
- Bodily injury
- Slip and fall accidents
- Property damage
- Manufacturing defects
- Failure to provide instructions or warnings
- Mislabeled products
Let’s say someone trips in your store and breaks their wrist. Their medical bills could be covered under your policy. If someone tries a sample of your product and sues you for an allergic reaction they had, your policy can help you pay for the legal fees and keep you in business. Sometimes small errors happen in the manufacturing process, which lead to faulty products. If a perfume bottle was not assembled correctly, it leaks onto a customer’s table, and it damages their property, your policy could help you cover the costs of repairs.
These examples are just a few of the risks your product can face. This is why many manufacturers, retailers, and online marketplaces require or strongly encourage you to carry insurance. They may also ask to be added to your policy as an additional insured. This helps to protect them from also being named liable in a claim. Insurance Canopy’s beauty product insurance allows you to add unlimited additional insureds to any policy, and often meets or exceeds insurance requirements.
Now that you know more about why you need insurance, you may be asking yourself, “What insurance do I need for my skincare business? Can I insure my makeup? How can I get cosmetics product liability insurance?” Take a look below at some of the most popular beauty industry products Insurance Canopy can insure and see how our policy can benefit you.
