TPG-SSolutions / Glass & plastic jars / Skincare & creams
Custom glass jars for skincare & creams.
Creams and balms in jars are touched every day, sit in bathrooms and contain ingredients that react to light and air. The jar, liner and cap together protect the formula.
What skincare & creams packaging has to do.
- 01Light protectionAmber, violet or opaque glass reduces light exposure for light-sensitive ingredients such as some vitamins and oils.
- 02Liner and sealA cap liner or inner disc keeps the product from drying out and leaking in transit.
- 03Cosmetic labelingCosmetics sold in the US need the labeling in 21 CFR 701 and 740. MoCRA (2022) adds a domestic address, phone number or website for adverse-event reports.
- 04CompatibilityTest the formula against the cap and liner materials; some oils and actives can affect plastics.

Questions.
01Glass or plastic jars for skincare?
Glass feels premium and is inert; plastic is lighter and less fragile in shipping. Many brands use glass for face products and plastic for body.
02Do I need a liner inside the cap?
Usually yes; it improves the seal and reduces leaks and drying.
03What does MoCRA change on my label?
It requires a US address, phone number or electronic contact through which consumers can report adverse events. Check FDA's current guidance for details.
