Hoe Beauty & Personal Care Producten te Classificeren
Volg deze regels om producten correct aan de juiste categorieën toe te wijzen
- 1
Classify by product function and target body area
Always assign products based on what they do and where they are applied. A hydrating mist for the face is Skincare > Face Care, not Hair Care, even if it could theoretically be used on hair. Function and body area together determine the primary category.
A tinted moisturizer with SPF is Makeup > Face > Foundation, not SkincareA lip scrub is Skincare > Lip Care, not Makeup > Lips - 2
Keep brand as an attribute, never as a category
Brand should be a filterable attribute, not a category level. Creating brand-based categories leads to an unmanageable taxonomy and duplicated product types across many branches.
Use Skincare > Serums with Brand: The Ordinary, not The Ordinary > SerumsUse Makeup > Foundation with Brand: MAC, not MAC > Foundation - 3
Separate tools and devices from consumable products
Beauty tools, brushes, and electronic devices must live under Tools & Devices, not alongside the products they are used with. A makeup brush belongs with tools even though it is used for applying foundation.
A jade roller is Tools & Devices > Skincare Devices > Face Rollers, not Skincare > Face CareA nail file is Tools & Devices, not Nails > Nail Care - 4
Use skin type and concern as attributes, not categories
Do not create separate categories for oily skin, dry skin, or anti-aging. These are product attributes and filter options. A moisturizer for oily skin is still Skincare > Face Care > Moisturizers with a Skin Type: Oily attribute.
- 5
Differentiate fragrance by concentration type
Fragrances must be categorized by concentration (EDP, EDT, Body Mist, Cologne) as subcategories, since concentration fundamentally changes the product. Gender is the first split, concentration is the second.
Women > Eau de Parfum vs Women > Body MistMen > Eau de Toilette vs Men > Cologne - 6
Keep nail products as a separate makeup subcategory
Nail products (polish, treatments, press-ons, gel systems) form their own subcategory under Makeup rather than being scattered across Tools or Skincare. This matches how customers shop for nail products.
- 7
Integrate men's grooming within the main taxonomy
Do not create a completely separate men's section. Instead, place men's products in the appropriate functional category (Shaving & Grooming under Personal Care, Men under Fragrance) and use gender as an attribute where products overlap.
Beard oil is Personal Care > Shaving & Grooming > Beard Care, not a separate Men's categoryMen's moisturizer is Skincare > Face Care > Moisturizers with Gender: Men - 8
Treat clean beauty and certifications as attributes
Clean, organic, vegan, cruelty-free, and similar designations should be filterable attributes, not separate categories. A clean beauty serum is still Skincare > Serums with attributes like Vegan: Yes, Cruelty-Free: Yes.
- 9
Separate professional from consumer product lines
Professional-grade products (salon-only, high concentration treatments) should share the same category structure as consumer products but use a Product Line attribute (Professional vs Consumer) for differentiation.
- 10
Assign multi-purpose products to their primary function
Products marketed for multiple uses (e.g., a lip and cheek tint) should be categorized by their primary use case. Use tags or secondary assignments for cross-merchandising rather than creating multi-purpose categories.
A lip and cheek tint is primarily Makeup > Lips > Lip Stain with a tag for cheek useA shampoo and body wash combo is Hair Care > Cleansing > Shampoo with a multi-use attribute

Beauty & Personal Care Classificatievalkuilen om te Vermijden
Vermijd deze veelgemaakte categorisatiefouten die leiden tot slechte productvindbaarheid
- Fout
Using brand names as categories (e.g., creating a MAC or L'Oreal category instead of using brand as a filterable attribute)
Betere aanpakAlways keep brand as a product attribute. Use functional categories like Makeup > Face > Foundation and let customers filter by brand. This scales better and prevents category explosion as you add more brands.
- Fout
Mixing tools and brushes with the products they apply (e.g., placing makeup brushes in the same category as eyeshadow palettes)
Betere aanpakCreate a dedicated Tools & Devices top-level category. Customers shopping for a foundation brush have different needs than those shopping for foundation itself. Cross-link with tags if needed.
- Fout
Creating separate categories for skin types (e.g., Dry Skin Moisturizers, Oily Skin Cleansers as categories)
Betere aanpakKeep skin type as a filterable attribute on products. A moisturizer is always Skincare > Face Care > Moisturizers regardless of which skin type it targets. This prevents duplicate category branches.
- Fout
Mixing professional and consumer products in undifferentiated categories without any distinguishing attribute
Betere aanpakUse the same taxonomy for both but add a Product Line attribute (Professional, Consumer) so salon buyers and everyday consumers can filter accordingly.
- Fout
Misclassifying fragrances by putting all perfumes in one flat category without concentration-level distinctions
Betere aanpakSubcategorize by concentration (EDP, EDT, Body Mist, Cologne) since they differ significantly in longevity, price point, and use case. Gender should be the first split, then concentration.
- Fout
Handling shade ranges as separate SKUs without structured color data or shade numbering
Betere aanpakUse a structured shade attribute with consistent naming (e.g., Shade Number, Shade Name, Undertone) so that shades can be grouped, compared, and filtered properly across products.
- Fout
Categorizing products by ingredient rather than function (e.g., creating a Retinol category or a Hyaluronic Acid category)
Betere aanpakCategorize by function (Anti-Aging Serum, Hydrating Serum) and list key ingredients as searchable attributes. Customers rarely shop by single ingredient alone.
- Fout
Creating a separate category for gift sets and bundles instead of linking them to their component categories
Betere aanpakPlace gift sets under the primary product category (e.g., Fragrance > Gift Sets) and tag component products. This keeps navigation clean while enabling discovery through both the set and its individual items.
- Fout
Isolating all men's products in a separate top-level category, duplicating the entire taxonomy
Betere aanpakIntegrate men's products into the functional taxonomy (Skincare, Hair Care, Personal Care) and use Gender as an attribute. Only Fragrance warrants a gender-level split because shopping behavior genuinely differs.
- Fout
Treating seasonal and limited edition products as permanent categories (e.g., Holiday Collection, Summer Glow)
Betere aanpakUse the standard category structure and add a Collection or Season attribute. Limited editions should be merchandised through tags and landing pages, not permanent taxonomy changes.
