Acrylic or Glass
Plastic, as a skin care package in the use of top materials, its advantages lie in lightweight, chemical stability, easy to print the surface, good processing performance, etc.; glass market competition is light, heat, pollution-free, texture, etc.; metal is strong ductility, drop resistance and other characteristics. Although the three have their own merits, the specific choice of which varies from brand to brand, but if you want to talk about the skin care package materials in the C position to bear, but also non-glass bottles and acrylic bottles.
According to cosmetic packaging practitioners revealed: “Acrylic packaging and glass packaging in the use of the experience of the main differences between three points, one is the weight of the glass bottle is heavier; the second is the sense of touch, glass bottles feel cooler than acrylic bottles; the third is the ease of recycling, glass bottles are more likely to meet the needs of consumers of environmental protection.”
In addition to meet the consumer on the “sense of seniority” “high tone” of the pursuit of glass bottles and acrylic bottles are favored another reason is that they are not easy and the contents of the reaction, thus ensuring that the active ingredient in the material in the safe and effective, after all, once the active ingredient After all, once the active ingredients are contaminated, consumers have to face the skin care “protect a lonely”, or even the risk of allergies or poisoning.
Deep Color or Light Color
Excluding the container and the chemical reaction of the material inside the pollution caused by the outside world, packaging companies also need to consider the external environment on the possible contamination of the material inside, especially efficacy of skincare products, the active ingredients contained in the “greenhouse flowers”, need to be carefully cared for, once exposed to air or light, either oxidized (such as vitamin C, ferulic acid, polyphenols and other whitening), or be decomposed (active ingredients). Once exposed to air or light, they either oxidize (such as vitamin C, ferulic acid, polyphenols and other whitening active ingredients) or are broken down (such as retinol and its derivatives).
This is the reason that many high-end skincare products will use light-resistant dark-colored packaging, such as small brown bottle, small black bottle, red waist, etc.. It is understood that dark-colored bottles, such as teal and brown, can block ultraviolet rays from the sun, avoiding the oxidation and decomposition of some photosensitive active ingredients.
“For the consideration of light avoidance, in addition to the use of dark-colored bottles, many efficacy skincare packaging is more through the process of stacking to protect the active ingredients, which is also the current mainstream packaging of skincare products. For functional products with light avoidance needs, in the development and design stage we usually guide customers to choose dark color spraying / plating effect or directly using solid color spraying / plating opaque effect to achieve the protection of product efficacy do effect.” Janey, manager of Topfeel Packaging, added.
Cosmetic packaging practitioners also mentioned this current situation in the market: “We add UV composites to the coating, and then sprayed onto the surface of the bottle, in order to take into account the effect of light protection and personalization of the bottle. The color of the bottle mainly depends on the characteristics of the product itself, for example, products with health ingredients are suitable for higher transparency. In addition, different colors are suitable for different consumer age groups, playful pink is more suitable for young people.”
