A Small Packaging Update: Hygiene Seals & Tamper-Evident Packaging

on May 11 2026
A small packaging update 🖤 Some VE Cosmetics products may now arrive with a tamper-evident sticker, seal, or shrink wrap.We originally reduced this where possible to minimise unnecessary plastic, but as we’ve grown and moved fulfilment through a warehouse, we need a clear way to confirm which hygiene-sensitive items are unopened, unused, and safe to remain in sellable stock. We’ll still keep packaging as minimal as possible and use stickers instead of full wrapping where we can.It’s all about balancing sustainability with customer safety and making sure opened cosmetics never accidentally make their way back into stock.
