CAPS Design Studio's MELABODY Skincare Packaging Uses Saturated Color Fields
CAPS Design Studio has created MELABODY, a skincare packaging design system targeting melanin-rich skin. The visual identity rejects aggressive mass-market branding, instead employing large, saturated color fields with a small brand mark for geometric restraint. The packaging uses a modular grid controlling baseline alignment of typography, scaling across product formats. Vertical color blocking with saturated pink, light blue, and warm orange stripes runs down left margins against clean white backgrounds. Typography features an ultra-bold display sans-serif logotype sliced vertically where it meets color stripes, creating graphic connection. Below the title, clean humanist sans-serif presents utility texts. The design is gender-neutral with a flexible color palette carrying all products without separate versions. The brand mark includes a small, sharp starburst icon. The studio shifts inclusive skincare away from muted earth tones toward a saturated, lived-in aesthetic. This project demonstrates that minimal layouts can have strong visual presence.
