All bottles and/or containers other than the original manufacturer's container shall be:

• A. Properly labeled
• B. Left unlabelled
• C. Labeled with manufacturer name only
• D. Label must include expiration date

Answer: (A)

Labeling decanted products is essential for safety and accurate use in esthetics. When a product is transferred from its original container into another for a service, the new container must clearly identify what it contains. This helps everyone involved recognize the product, prevents mixing up different substances, and allows quick checks for ingredients or potential allergies or contraindications. It also supports proper inventory control and safety recalls.

Leaving a container unlabelled risks using the wrong product or missing important ingredient information. Simply labeling with the manufacturer’s name doesn’t tell you what product it is, and relying on memory isn’t reliable in a busy service environment. While noting an expiration date is helpful, the most critical requirement in this scenario is clear identification of the contents in every container.
