We prepare your application around every product and maker, compare quotes with you and help you buy before the next launch or retail deal. - Every SKU, formula and maker described in your submission - Retailer endorsement requests checked before you agree - Keep your broker or switch, with no commissions on premiums [Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=product-liability&industry=apparel-and-cosmetics&icp=retail). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch. ## How Spot helps 1. **List every product you sell.** Your Spot team lists each brand, formula or material, intended user, manufacturer, country of manufacture, importer and sales channel, so no SKU goes to market undescribed. 2. **Read the retailer’s terms.** Before you promise limits or additional insured status, send the retailer’s insurance clause. Spot checks it against your policy and confirms the named insured matches the entity signing. 3. **Compare what each quote covers.** We work with brokers to take your submission to market, then compare named products, exclusions, peak stock values and transit terms across each proposal. 4. **Ask in Slack before you change a formula.** Before you change an ingredient or switch makers, ask the Spot agent in Slack what your policy says, and your Spot team updates the product schedule with your broker. ## Who we help - **Skincare and cosmetics brands.** Each formula and ingredient profile is a product a customer could react to, and insurers want them listed. - **Apparel and accessories labels.** Garments, children’s clothing and accessories each raise their own product liability and safety questions. - **Brands selling wholesale.** A department store or boutique can ask for product liability limits and additional insured status in its vendor terms. - **Brands with pop-ups and showrooms.** Sampling, demonstrations and appointments bring customers on site, which general liability needs to describe. ## Coverage - [Product liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/product-liability) - [Commercial property](https://spot.insure/insurance/commercial-property) - [Tools, equipment and inland marine](https://spot.insure/insurance/inland-marine) - [General liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/general-liability) - [Cyber liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/cyber) ## When to get this coverage - **You’re launching a new SKU or formula.** Add the product, ingredients or materials and its manufacturer to the schedule before it goes on sale. - **You’re adding children’s apparel.** A children’s line can change how products are classified. Tell your broker before the first unit sells. - **A retailer wants to be named on your policy.** Check the requested endorsement wording and limits against what your policy can provide before you sign. - **Stock is moving to a third-party warehouse.** Moving from studio stock to a fulfillment center or pop-up should prompt a location and transit review. - **Seasonal inventory is peaking.** Make sure the property schedule reflects peak stock, samples and packaging at every location. ## Common questions Also known as cosmetics insurance, beauty brand insurance, skincare brand insurance, clothing brand insurance, apparel insurance and fashion brand insurance. ### What does cosmetics insurance usually include? For a beauty or skincare brand it’s mostly product liability for each formula, plus property and inland marine for stock and samples, and general liability and cyber for your shop and online store. Spot lines these up against the retailer’s requirements. ### What should we send for a cosmetics product quote? A SKU list connecting each formula and brand to its manufacturer, importer and sales channel. Your Spot team helps you assemble it. ### Does passing apparel testing mean we’re insured? No. Product safety certificates address safety requirements, not insurance. Spot asks brokers how each proposal names your products and what it excludes. ### Are samples at a trade show covered? Only if the inland marine form lists those goods and transit stages. Spot checks which destinations and legs each quote includes. ### Our broker set up our product liability before we added cosmetics. Do we have to change? No. Spot works with your existing broker to bring new formulas and retailers onto the product schedule, and takes no commissions on premiums. If you’d rather work with a broker who places more beauty and consumer product business, Spot can help you switch. ## More - [Business Insurance by Industry](https://spot.insure/insurance-for) ## Agent and Developer Resources - [Markdown page](https://spot.insure/insurance-for/apparel-and-cosmetics.md) - [Developer resources](https://spot.insure/developers) - [Public MCP server](https://spot.insure/mcp) - [MCP server manifest](https://spot.insure/server.json) - [OpenAPI description](https://spot.insure/openapi.json) - [Public page index](https://spot.insure/llms.txt)
