How beauty brands can protect consumers from counterfeiting

Cosmetics now rank in the top-ten counterfeited items in the UK. Beauty as a category is arguably more personal than a fake leather handbag, and media reports of urine, lead and arsenic in products have highlighted how dangerous this issue can be. It’s dangerous not just for consumers, but for brands as well.
