Jars or Spray Bottles, Which One Is for Cosmetic Packaging?

In pursuit of a better quality of life, cosmetics and their packaging design have become necessities for people to decorate themselves. The packaging of cosmetic products must meet the preferences of consumers, and be designed in a targeted manner to meet the needs of most consumers in terms of color and vision. Only by scientifically and rationally applying cosmetic packaging materials and grasping the overall packaging shape of cosmetics can we attract consumers' attention, make them desire to buy, and promote the sales of cosmetics.

The function of packaging not only protects the product and facilitates sales, but also enhances the competitiveness of the product. Cosmetic packaging uses jars, trigger spray bottles or pump dispensers. Have you ever wondered why some come in jars and some come in spray bottles?

The Role of Product Containers in Cosmetics

Cosmetic packaging has different requirements. First, it must contain the product to prevent it from leaking. Second, it should protect the product from external influences including light, moisture, oxygen, biological contamination, and mechanical damage. Compared to jars, mini spray bottles have distinct advantages in terms of hygiene, for example, there is no direct contact between the consumer and the packaged product.

When choosing an outer packaging bottle, some consumers tend to choose a plexiglass material with good transparency, strong plasticity, and the same feeling as glass. Coupled with the high-quality, high-gloss gold bottle cap, the crystal series cosmetics become more graceful and fashionable.

Cosmetic glass bottles have the following characteristics, including good sealing performance, high-grade materials, easy recycling and less environmental pollution, and can effectively ensure that the contents do not deteriorate for a long time. Especially for more high-end cosmetics, it is more suitable to use glass bottle packaging.

The airtightness of the aluminum jar pressure bottle is better. Nitrogen is added to the bottle, and the water jet is thinner.

Spray bottle, this packaging form is more and more exposed to us in our daily life. Many toner plastic bottles, cosmetic plastic bottles, etc. use the nozzle type. Generally, they are mainly PET plastic bottles and PE plastic bottles, which are different from traditional bottle caps. The liquid packaged in the spray bottle is presented in the form of backlog spraying, which greatly facilitates people. For some products that need to be smeared, the packaging becomes more user-friendly by spraying. The cosmetic spray bottle can evenly spray the lotion inside the skin, which cannot be achieved by traditional cosmetic bottles.

Aerosol cosmetics are the systematic fusion of traditional cosmetic formulation technology and aerosol technology, not simple physical addition. Therefore, the entry threshold for the aerosol cosmetics industry is high. The difficulty lies in the following two points. On the one hand, in addition to mastering the general cosmetic formulation technology, aerosol cosmetics also need to master the overall technology of aerosol. For example, in formula development, aerosol cosmetics not only need to consider the compatibility of the material and the propellant, but also need to adjust the formula according to the shape of the sprayed material such as foam, mist, milk, etc. In addition, the aerosol valve system is also a key factor affecting the shape of the ejected material.

On the other hand, many aerosol cosmetics use flammable and explosive propellants. Therefore, the production workshop of aerosol cosmetics not only needs to meet the GMPC Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics, but also needs to meet the double standards of the Safe Production Practice for Hazardous Chemicals.

Aerosol cosmetic packaging includes vacuum pump bottles, lotion airless bottles, trigger pump spray bottles and so on.
