All skincare products are contained in jars or bottles. Common materials of these cosmetic jars include glass, plastic, soft tube and metal. Most consumers pay attention to the skincare product itself instead of the container. Actually, these containers, no matter beautiful or not, play an important role in the quality, hygiene and preservation of skincare products.
Approximately 80 percent of cosmetic containers are made of plastic. Glass containers comprise only 8 percent of the total number of cosmetic containers and metal ones are the least. Ironically, the most popular plastic containers may not be the best one to store and preserve our skincare products.
Plastic containers are chosen by cosmetic brands and manufacturers mainly because of their high flexibility in shape, size and colors. Besides, they are easily get printed and transported. Indeed, plastic cannot tolerant heat and cannot preserve skincare products from light (e.g sunlight). In addition, plastic is not suitable to contain certain oil based skincare products. Therefore, it is advised to use the skincare products as soon as possible if it is in a plastic container.
A better choice of cosmetic container is glass. Glass is more tolerant to heat and light, therefore, it helps better preserve the skincare products inside. Besides, glass is suitable for storing oil based products. Unless the glass is of exceptionally low quality, otherwise, it is the best material for cosmetic container.
Though metal is also a common material for skincare product containers, it is much less popular. The shape and type of metal containers limit its popularity in the skincare industry. Most of the time, metal is used for lids only.
Other than containers, it is important to preserve your skincare products with proper habits in order to maintain their efficacy. The best habit is not to touch skincare products directly with fingers. You may use a spatula for products in creamy texture and pour out the products onto palm or cotton pads for products in liquid texture.
