Skin Care
Skin Care Packaging delivers aesthetics and product protection
Skin care is a source of constant innovation in the cosmetics industry, and formulations are increasingly becoming more aggressive to packaging materials. As a result, it’s becoming more challenging to produce packages that not only attract consumers but also protect the efficacy of your products.
Highlights
- Special color effects for packaging including metallic, pearlescent, marble, granite, and wood effects
- UV additives that deliver protection for your light sensitive products
- High density materials that can deliver a premium feel
- Soft touch TPEs for over-molded caps to engage your consumers with tactile elements
- Chemically resistant TPEs and anti-microbial additives for value-added applicators and dispensing
