What are the essential elements every product page in a cosmetics store must have?

Question

As an e-commerce manager for a cosmetics brand, I'm struggling to design product pages that not only look attractive but also convert effectively. I need a comprehensive understanding of the critical elements that will help potential customers make informed purchasing decisions, feel confident about their choices, and ultimately complete their purchase. What are the must-have components that can transform a basic product listing into a compelling, conversion-driving experience?
