The nature of cosmetics

If cosmetics contain volatile components or are sensitive to oxygen and light, materials with good sealing and strong shading should be selected, such as glass or metal materials.

Water based cosmetics can choose plastic or glass materials, but oily cosmetics may be more suitable for glass because plastic may be penetrated by oily ingredients.

Product positioning and brand image
High end cosmetics typically choose glass, metal, or high-quality acrylic materials to showcase high quality and luxury.

Popular consumer products may prefer to use plastic materials with lower costs to maintain price competitiveness.

Security
Ensure that the selected material does not react chemically with the ingredients in cosmetics, affecting product quality and safety.

Transportation and storage conditionsIf cosmetics need to be transported over long distances or stored in harsh environments, the material should have sufficient strength and durability to prevent cracking or deformation. Plastic materials are relatively less prone to breakage, while glass requires more careful protection.

Consumer experience
Consider the usability of packaging, such as whether the design of nozzles, droppers, or lids is convenient to use.
The texture and appearance of the material can also affect the consumer’s perception of the product.

Cost budget
The cost of different materials varies greatly and needs to be selected based on the market positioning and budget of the product.
Taking into account the above factors, you can more accurately choose the packaging material that is suitable for your cosmetics, thereby improving the competitiveness of the product and consumer satisfaction.

In addition, the selection criteria for cosmetic packaging materials mainly include the following aspects:
chemical stability
Materials should not react chemically with the ingredients of cosmetics to prevent any impact on their quality, efficacy, and safety.
For example, certain plastics may be dissolved or permeated by certain organic solvents.
barrier property
Good ability to block oxygen, moisture, light, etc. helps to extend the shelf life of cosmetics.
Especially for cosmetics containing easily oxidizable and perishable ingredients, such as vitamin C, high barrier packaging is required.
Health and Safety
The material must comply with relevant hygiene standards and regulations, and cannot release harmful substances.
Ensure that packaging does not cause contamination to cosmetics during production, storage, and use.
mechanical strength
Capable of withstanding pressure and impact during normal transportation, handling, and use, not prone to breakage or deformation.
Sealing performance
Ensure that cosmetics do not leak or evaporate during storage and use.
Aesthetics
The appearance design is attractive and has a good texture, which can enhance the image and attractiveness of the product.

Processing performance
Easy to process and shape to meet various complex packaging design requirements.

Cost effectiveness
On the premise of meeting the above requirements, control costs to ensure the market competitiveness of the product.
Environmental friendliness
More and more attention is being paid to selecting materials that are recyclable, biodegradable, or have minimal environmental impact.

Consumer convenience of use
The opening and use of packaging should be convenient for consumers to operate.
