Personal Care Packaging

Should I use glass or plastic containers for my personal care products?

The right material depends on your product's formulation and how it will be used. Glass containers are non-reactive, do not absorb fragrances or active ingredients, and offer a premium look that appeals to customers in the natural and luxury personal care markets. Plastic containers, including PET and other food- and cosmetic-grade options, are lightweight, shatter-resistant, and often preferred for products used in wet environments such as showers. If your formulation contains concentrated oils or actives that may interact with certain plastics, glass is generally the safer choice.

What dispensing closure options are available for personal care packaging?

Burch Bottle offers a wide range of dispensing closures compatible with personal care containers. Lotion pumps are a popular choice for creams, serums, and liquid soaps, providing controlled, hygienic dispensing. Fine mist sprayers work well for toners, facial mists, and setting sprays. Disc tops and snap-top caps are commonly used for body washes and conditioners. Glass droppers offer precise application for serums and facial oils, and orifice reducers help control flow for thinner liquid formulations.

Are tamper-evident or child-resistant closures available for personal care products?

Yes. Burch Bottle offers both tamper-evident and child-resistant caps that pair with compatible personal care containers. Tamper-evident closures are a useful option for retail-ready products, as they provide customers with visible assurance that the product has not been opened prior to purchase. Child-resistant caps are available for products that may need an added layer of safety, particularly for formulations that could be harmful if ingested.
