This protein jar mockup is a quick way to show a dropper bottle label without a photo shoot.
It’s a handy file for cosmetic startups and skincare brands. One thing worth knowing: beauty packaging relies on small type and lots of white space. Resist filling the label.
It’s also a good way to compare a few label directions side by side without printing anything.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixelbuddha. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the cosmetic packaging?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Will the label bend with the shape?
Good curved-product mockups use a warp so the label wraps around. The preview shows it: if the edges of the label curve away, it does.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Pixelbuddha gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
