43 dropper assemblies and 101 amber containers. The one part of the shelf that fits its craft exactly.

What these products are

A hair serum, a hair oil and most scalp treatments: small volumes, high active content or a single oil phase, applied by drops to the scalp or worked through the ends.

Which makes the dropper the dispensing method

43 dropper assemblies on this shelf, plus 11 treatment pumps. A drop is the dose, and nothing else dispenses a drop.

And amber the color

101 amber containers plus 14 frosted. Oils oxidize and actives degrade in light, and this is the one leaf group where the amber is doing real work rather than looking apothecary.

The glass Boston round is the format

64 of them. Inert, available in the small sizes this craft uses, and the shape a dropper assembly is designed for.

A pipette has a chemistry problem

The bulb is elastomer and essential oils attack elastomer. For a high-essential-oil scalp oil the bulb perishes before the oil does.

Which argues for a treatment pump on some products

11 of them here. A metered pump gives a repeatable dose without an elastomer bulb sitting in the product, at a higher unit cost.

Scalp treatment is where the monograph arrives

This is the leaf most likely to carry a dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis claim, and it is also the smallest format in the group. The label problem and the small container coincide.

Which is the hardest combination in this property

A Drug Facts panel at no smaller than 6-point on a 30 mL bottle. The 60 percent clause exists for exactly this and it will not be enough on its own.

So plan the carton with the bottle

A folding carton or a booklet label is not a failure, it is the normal answer for a small drug product. Deciding it early costs nothing.

A pure oil is the easy end

No preservative question, no emulsion to break, and no monograph claim. Hair oil is the simplest product in this group and the glass Boston round serves it completely.

21 CFR 201.66(d), the Drug Facts format. The title "Drug Facts" "shall appear in a type size larger than the largest type size used in the Drug Facts labeling". Headings are set at "the larger of either 8-point or greater type, or 2-point sizes greater than the point size of the text", and all other content is "no smaller than 6-point type". Paragraph (d)(10) relaxes the format where the Drug Facts labeling would occupy more than 60 percent of the available label space: a continuation title at no smaller than 7-point, headings at the larger of 7-point or one point over the text, reduced leading provided ascenders and descenders do not touch, bullets that need not be vertically aligned, and the enclosing box omitted where color contrast distinguishes the labeling. law.cornell.edu
