To sell soap on Meesho, list under Beauty & Personal Care / Skin / Body / Bath Scrubs & Soaps, which is category 10526. This template differs from home decor ones in three ways. It has skin-care dropdowns, a compulsory shelf life, and packaging photos that must show your label clearly. Sort out your pack label first, because several fields are copied straight from it.
Which fields are special to soap?
Alongside the usual price, weight and address fields, the template has these compulsory fields. Each one takes only the values on the Validation sheet.
| Field | Allowed values (examples) |
|---|---|
| Type | Bar, Liquid, Mix, Paper, Scrub, Solid |
| Generic Name | Bar Soap, Herbal Soap, Moisturizing Soap, Bath Scrub, Body Scrub, Exfoliating Scrub |
| Capacity | From 30gm to 950gm in set steps, or Others |
| Skin Type | All Skin Types, Dry, Normal, Oily, Sensitive Skin and others |
| Concern | No Concern, Acne/Pimple, Dandruff, Detan and others |
| Flavour | A long list, such as Almond, Aloe Vera, Charcoal, Coconut, Coffee |
| Shelf life (Best Before) | Days or months, such as 12 Months |
| Net Quantity (N) | Total units in the pack |
| Variation | Free Size is the only value |
Be careful with Concern. Choosing Acne/Pimple or Whitening is a claim about what your soap does. If you cannot back that up, No Concern is the honest choice, and it is on the list.
What packaging photos does Meesho want?
The Instructions sheet says Image 1, the front of the packaging, and Image 2, the back, are mandatory. These images need to show product details such as ingredients, net weight and customer care information clearly and legibly. Meesho strongly advises uploading all four sides of the pack, so buyers can read everything on the label.
The same sheet also says product images should have no text and no props. The field list marks only Image 1 as compulsory, so the template is not fully consistent. Our advice is to give it both pack photos and keep them clean: the pack alone, with nothing added on top of the picture.
What about shelf life and licences?
Shelf life is the time a product stays usable and safe. The template says to take it from your packaging. If it is not there, provide it as the field explains. Use a value you can stand behind, and print the same one on the pack.
Soap can bring extra rules with it. The Legal Metrology rules send cosmetics to the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 for the manufacturing date on the pack. Meesho's declaration also has you confirm that you hold the licences and registrations your product needs, and that you will keep them valid. Check what applies to your soap before you list, and take advice if you are unsure.
