Choosing the right body scrub containers matters. Airtightness can help keep the product fresh and safe. Body scrubs often mix oils or liquids with exfoliants. This makes them sensitive to air, moisture, and light.
Not every scrub needs a fully airtight seal. But airtight packaging can prevent contamination and extend shelf life. Common materials include plastic, glass, and metal tins. Your choice should match your formula and how customers use the product.
Why airtight body scrub containers are sometimes necessary
Air exposure can spoil a body scrub. It causes oxidation, which changes texture, scent, and quality. Airtight body scrub jars help prevent this.
Materials like glass bottles, HDPE, and PETG offer strong moisture barriers. They also resist UV radiation, protecting ingredients from light damage. Sealed lids like lined aluminum caps or white dome caps improve protection. These features support both quality and shelf life.
Materials used in body scrub packaging
There are many choices for body scrub packaging. Popular options include plastic containers, glass jars, tubes, and pouches. Each has its benefits.
Plastic jars are lightweight and tough. Glass vials are nonporous and ideal for natural formulas. Metal tins offer a sturdy, reusable option. Eco-conscious brands can use eco-friendly paperboard jars. They can also use materials that break down naturally.
Labeling and branding for cosmetic jars
Clear labeling builds trust. It tells buyers what’s inside and how to use it. Custom labels also help products stand out.
Use simple design methods like screen printing or embossing. These work on cosmetic jars, plastic, or glass containers. Hot stamping and electroplating add visual impact. Focus on design that matches your product and brand.
Packaging sizes and storage capacities
Choose a size that fits your product. Common options include 4 oz, 8 oz, and larger cosmetic containers.
Smaller sizes work well for samples or travel storage. Larger jars suit regular use. Containers like plastic bail jars, refillable containers, and recyclable glass jars give you options. These work well for scrubs, body butter, lotions, and creams.
Sustainability in body scrub jar packaging
Sustainable choices are growing in demand. Use packaging that you can recycle or that breaks down naturally. Use eco-friendly materials when you can. Think about using post-consumer resin (PCR) or paperboard. These are more responsible choices.
Plastic bottles made from PP and PET are strong and easy to recycle. Think about reuse, like refill stations, to reduce waste. Add clear packaging symbols and instructions for proper disposal.
Choosing the right body scrub containers for your brand
