Designing a line of beauty products is no simple task. So many details go into planning and crafting the perfect goods. After so much hard work choosing and sourcing materials and creating the perfect recipes, it’s tough to realize there’s still much work left. Next, the make-up, lotion, or lip balm of your new business must be fitted to the right packaging before the process of marketing your products can even begin. Choosing the right packaging is much more involved than selecting the cheapest or prettiest. Different materials and even seemingly arbitrary design elements such as color do have real and crucial effects on the goods stored within them.

As such, there are many important reasons to use amber glass when packaging beauty products. Some of these reasons are closely related to why chemically-delicate essential oils are best stored in glass. Even more so, it’s some of the same factors that led to medicines and even most alcohols being packaged in amber glass. Decorative design elements of packaging aside, amber-colored glass is beautiful on its own and is a useful packaging material with a long history of protecting the items we value most.
