Graphic Design Agency for Beauty & Cosmetics Brands

Design built for one of the most visually competitive sectors there is.

Beauty and cosmetics is a category where every shade, finish, and font choice gets noticed, and where a brand’s visual identity often sells more than the product description ever could. We’ve spent 25+ years designing specifically for this sector, from independent skincare launches to L’Oréal-scale global campaigns.

Speed Without Compromise

Beauty moves fast, seasonal campaigns, product launches, retail deadlines. We’ve built our process to move at that pace without cutting corners.

Waterman's Case Study | Packaging Design

Project Overview
When Watermans approached us at Whitewater Creative, they needed a fresh identity for their new product, Frojus, aimed at individuals with curly, Afro-Caribbean, and hard-to-manage hair. They wanted the packaging to reflect the product’s luxury while standing out in a competitive market, and we were excited to help bring that vision to life.

Challenges Client Was Facing
Watermans had a logo they loved, but the packaging concepts previously explored didn’t capture the premium feel they were aiming for. They wanted something that would speak to the values of their brand, stand out on the shelves, and resonate with their diverse customer base.

Our Approach and Process
We took the time to understand Watermans’ brand, diving into their existing designs and conducting a deep analysis of market trends. By truly listening to their vision, we knew a minimalist aesthetic would be key. Combining their brand’s existing fonts with handwritten elements, we aimed for a balance of sophistication and warmth. We also wanted to honour the natural ingredients of Frojus, so we used shades of green alongside their signature gold, and created graphics that would reflect the curly, textured hair the product is designed for.

Our Solutions and Outcomes for the Company
Through close collaboration with the Watermans team, we developed mock-ups of the packaging, giving them a real sense of how the finished product would look. Together, we narrowed the options down to two that truly captured the luxury and ethos of Frojus. The final design now speaks to the high-quality ingredients, the brand’s customer-first approach, and its desire to create meaningful impact.

The Results and the Impact They Had for the Company
The new packaging has elevated Frojus, communicating its luxury while standing out in a crowded marketplace. It resonates with Watermans’ core values and strengthens the emotional connection with their customers. With this refreshed identity, Frojus is ready to make a lasting impact, just as Watermans has always done.

What Our Clients Say

“Working with Whitewater Creative has been an absolutely transformative experience for our project. From the moment we started, Ellie was a standout with her incredible design skills, intuitive understanding of our needs, and her ability to bring our vague ideas to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Her designs were not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, meeting the needs of our project perfectly. What impressed us the most was how Ellie made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, making it clear that we were in very capable hands. Our experience with Whitewater's Design Services, especially Ellie's contribution, has exceeded our expectations, and we can't recommend them highly enough. The end result speaks for itself, and we are incredibly proud of the work accomplished in partnership with Ellie and the team.”

Nicole LinnProduct Manager, Prada Fragrances

“I wanted to reach out and thank you for the services Whitewater has provided to L'Oreal over the many years of working together, and not to mention pulling us through some turbulent times with very little notice at what were critical moments for us as a business. Your tenure with L'Oreal is a testament to Whitewater, there are not many businesses which we have created such a strong affiliation and level of trust with and this is something you should be proud of. It's clear that Whitewater dedicates their business to immersing themselves into the DNA of their customers to truly understand what matters most and therefore how Whitewater can support our business in achieving our objectives. It has been a pleasure working with Whitewater all this time and we look forward to facing many more challenges head on with your support.”
