Label & Packaging Designer Needed for Premium Modern Skincare Brand

Label & Packaging Designer Needed for Premium Modern Skincare Brand We are looking for a talented label and packaging designer to help develop the visual direction for a new skincare and everyday skin-health brand. The brand is a modern, formula-first skincare brand focused on clean, science-backed, everyday skin solutions. The visual identity should feel premium, minimal, refined, and quietly luxurious, while still feeling fresh and relevant for today’s skincare market. Our audience includes Millennials, Gen-Z, and Gen-Alpha-influenced younger consumers. So the design should not feel too traditional, too millennial, too playful, or too trend-heavy. It needs to sit in a balanced space: modern enough for younger audiences, mature enough for premium skincare buyers, and clean enough to build long-term brand trust. This is not a typical “clinical pharmacy” product, and it should not look like a disinfectant, medical spray, or generic cosmetic item. The goal is to create packaging that feels like a premium skincare product: clean, refined, current, trustworthy, and visually memorable. What We Need We need help designing labels and packaging concepts for our first product line, starting with a face and body mist product. The design should work well on a clean spray bottle with premium-looking hardware. The direction should balance: Premium skincare Clean clinical credibility Millennial-level maturity Gen-Z freshness Gen-Alpha-influenced modernity Minimal luxury Strong shelf appeal Practical CMYK-friendly print execution We are looking for a designer who can explore strong design directions rather than simply placing text on a label. The final design should feel intentional, balanced, and brand-building. Brand Feel The design should feel: Modern Clean Premium Quiet luxury Fresh but not childish Minimal but not boring Clinical but not hospital-like Youthful but still mature Skincare-focused, not disinfectant-like Contemporary without depending on short-term trends What to Avoid Please avoid designs that feel: Too medical or pharmaceutical Too playful or childish Too loud, colorful, or cheap Too dated or overly millennial Too TikTok-trendy without premium value Too decorative or feminine-only Like a cleaning spray Like a generic beauty product Overloaded with icons, droplets, leaves, sparkles, or cliché skincare elements Deliverables For the first stage, we would like: Initial label design concepts Front label layout direction Color palette suggestions suitable for CMYK printing Typography direction Mockups on the bottle if possible Final print-ready label file after approval Editable source files If the first product design goes well, there will be future work for additional skincare, surface-care, and everyday health products under the same brand. Ideal Designer You should be comfortable designing for skincare, cosmetics, beauty, wellness, or premium consumer goods. Experience with modern skincare packaging for younger and mature audiences is a plus. Please apply with: Relevant packaging or label design samples A short note explaining how you would approach this brand visually Your process for creating label concepts Whether you can provide realistic product mockups Your estimated timeline for initial concepts We are looking for someone with strong taste, clean layout skills, and the ability to create a premium brand feel without overcomplicating the design.
