Introduction
The cosmetic market in Morocco is growing rapidly, and the opportunity to launch a new cosmetic brand is becoming increasingly appealing for entrepreneurs. However, succeeding in this sector requires following well-defined steps. With BIOCYLAB Laboratories, a trusted lab, you can receive expert support at every phase of creating and developing your cosmetic brand.
1. Finding a Brand Name
Your brand name is essential because it will reflect your identity and attract potential customers. It should be short, memorable, legible, and evocative. With the expertise of BIOCYLAB Laboratories, you can be guided to find a unique and catchy name aligned with your brand’s values.
2. Create Your Own Logo
A professional logo is crucial to building a strong brand image. For quality results, BIOCYLAB Laboratories recommends working with design agencies specializing in packaging and visual identity. This will help you create a striking logo and a cohesive graphic charter that aligns with your cosmetic project, whether targeting a premium or more accessible market.
3. Trademark Registration
Registering your brand with the OMPIC (Moroccan Industrial and Commercial Property Office) is a crucial step before starting any design activities. BIOCYLAB Laboratories will guide you through the process of securing your brand legally and avoiding any intellectual property violations.
4. Define Your Product Range
Once your brand concept is defined, it’s essential to determine the product lines you want to develop. Depending on your target market, you can create product lines for face care, body care, hair care, or even organic skincare products.
Examples of product lines:
- Haircare Line: Shampoo, conditioner, serum, oils.
- Body Care Line: Moisturizing cream, nourishing oils.
- Face Care Line: Anti-aging cream, hydrating serum, eye creams.
- Hammam Line: Shower gel, black soap, ghassoul.
BIOCYLAB Laboratories will assist you in developing each product range, guiding you through the most effective formulations tailored to your clients’ needs.
5. Choose the Lines Within Each Range
The product lines should be carefully selected based on your target audience. For example, if you opt for organic skincare, it’s important to choose natural ingredients and work on formulations that meet ecological and ethical standards. BIOCYLAB Laboratories offers support in selecting the best lines for your market, based on current demand.
6. Develop Technical Sheets
Technical sheets provide detailed information about each product, including ingredients, volumes, weights, and usage instructions. These documents are essential to ensure your products comply with current standards, particularly for labeling. With BIOCYLAB Laboratories, you can leverage their expertise to create these sheets and prepare the necessary data for your product labels.
7. Find Suitable Packaging
Choosing the right packaging is crucial for presenting your products. It must be not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and compliant with cosmetic product preservation standards. BIOCYLAB Laboratories will help you select packaging that aligns with your market positioning, focusing on durability and product protection. Whether opting for plant-based plastic or recyclable materials, the goal is to ensure excellent conservation while being environmentally conscious.
8. Design Labels and Boxes
Labels must be clear, legible, and compliant with Moroccan cosmetic labeling regulations. You must indicate all necessary information: composition, usage instructions, precautions, and other legal mentions. Depending on your positioning (premium or affordable), BIOCYLAB Laboratories will assist in designing attractive and effective labels that captivate your customers while respecting legal requirements.
9. Printing of Labels and Counter Labels
The printing of your labels must be of high quality to ensure the longevity of the product without degradation. BIOCYLAB Laboratories advises on selecting durable print materials, prioritizing water and oil-resistant substrates to maximize durability.
10. If You Have a Physical Store
If you plan to open a physical store, it’s important to arrange it in a way that aligns with your brand identity. The storefront, signage, and interior layout should be in harmony with your graphic charter. BIOCYLAB Laboratories offers advice on designing your retail space to attract attention and reinforce your brand image. Effective merchandising and proper product placement in-store are also key to maximizing sales.
11. Your Communication Materials
Communication about your brand is essential to ensure its visibility. Communication tools must be developed alongside the product launch. Key items include:
- Business cards to stay connected with your clients.
- Brochures to briefly present your company, products, and expertise.
- Product catalog to showcase your various product lines.
- Website (either a showcase site or e-commerce platform) to establish national and international contacts and sell products online.
- Social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) to build a community around your brand.

Hiring salespeople is crucial for direct sales to your target market. BIOCYLAB Laboratories can help define the best sales strategy for your brand, offering tailored advice for your project.
