In the beauty industry, the statement "Packaging is the brand language" is not an exaggeration at all. As a supplier with years of experience in glass packaging, Kang Hua has noticed that an increasing number of skincare and makeup brands are choosing white glass jars as their core packaging - not only does it highlight the pure texture of the products, but it also meets the storage needs of various beauty categories. Today, from my first-person perspective, based on our experience serving numerous beauty brands, I will break down the selection, customization, and procurement points of white glass jars for beauty product packaging.
Why do beauty brands prefer to use white glass jars as packaging?
Cosmetics products, especially skincare products, have much higher requirements for packaging than ordinary goods: they need to ensure product stability while also considering the brand's style. The reason why white glass jars have become a favorite of cosmetic brands is that they perfectly meet these two needs.
Light protection: The key to extending the shelf life of skin care products
Most skin care products contain active ingredients such as vitamin C and retinol. These ingredients are extremely sensitive to light and will easily oxidize and lose their efficacy once exposed to sunlight. This not only reduces the product's efficacy but may also cause skin irritation. Kang Hua's cosmetic white glass jars are made of high-purity opaque glass material, which can effectively block ultraviolet and visible light from penetrating, creating a "light-avoidance safe box" for the active ingredients and significantly extending the product's shelf life. This is why high-end skin care products such as serums, creams, and eye creams prefer white glass jars as their packaging.
Brand aesthetics: Matte and frosted textures enhance the premium appeal
The core of beauty product consumption lies in "emotional experience". The appearance of the packaging directly influences consumers' purchasing decisions. The white glass jars inherently possess a pure and simple charm. Moreover, Kang Hua's introduction of two special processes - matte and frosted - further enhances the brand's high-end appeal: The matte white glass jars have a delicate touch and are suitable for skincare brands that emphasize "natural and gentle"; the frosted white glass jars present a semi-transparent soft fog texture, which is suitable for makeup or essence products positioned as "luxury and niche". Many collaborating brands have reported that after changing to the white glass jar packaging, the terminal price premium of the products has significantly increased.
Kang Hua Specialized White Glass Jar Series for Beauty Products Detailed Explanation
In response to the needs of various beauty product categories, Kang Hua has developed a full range of white glass jars specifically for cosmetics. From capacity, craftsmanship to the type of lids, it fully meets the packaging requirements for creams, lotions, eye creams, and makeup products.
By capacity: Precisely matching different beauty product categories
The amount of each makeup product and the corresponding usage scenarios are different, so the capacity of the container needs to be precisely matched:
1. 100ml/150ml/200ml series: This series mainly features lotions, body lotions, and face creams, etc., which are large-volume skin care products. The white glass jars in this capacity range come in two styles - wide-mouth and narrow-mouth. The wide-mouth design is suitable for face creams and body lotions, making it convenient to use; the narrow-mouth design is suitable for lotions, which can reduce product oxidation and contamination. They are paired with bamboo caps or metal caps, balancing practicality and appearance.
2. 15ml/30ml/50ml series: Suitable for eye creams, essence creams, and local care products. The small-capacity design is not only suitable for daily use but can also be used as travel-sized or trial-sized products, helping the brand expand its market. Our small-capacity white glass jars can have exquisite silk-printed logos on the body, enhancing the brand recognition of the trial-sized products.
Core technology: Diverse options between matte finish and frosted finish
As mentioned earlier, matte finish and frosted finish are the two core techniques for making white glass cosmetic containers. The applicable scenarios for these two techniques differ:
• Matte white glass jars: Completely opaque, with a smooth texture, and excellent color reproduction when printing logos, suitable for skincare brands that emphasize "natural, no additives", especially suitable for packaging of skin care products for sensitive skin and pregnant women;
• Sandblasted white glass jars: With a semi-transparent and soft mist texture, the contents inside can be faintly seen, enhancing the sense of mystery. They are suitable for serums, ampoules, and cosmetic cream products, and have a high photo-shooting success rate, making them well-suited for social media marketing.
Customized service for white glass cosmetic jars: Creating a unique brand identity
For beauty brands, packaging is the "second face" of the brand, and customization is the key to creating differentiation. Kang Hua provides comprehensive customization services for beauty customers, highlighting the brand's characteristics in every detail:
Customized printing and labeling: Enhancing brand recognition points
We offer customization services such as silk-screen printing, gold stamping, and label application on the body and lid of white glass jars. For instance, we can create embossed logos for brands emphasizing "Chinese style", conduct gradient color silk-screen printing for niche makeup brands, and apply gold stamping for high-end skincare brands. The printing process uses food-grade eco-friendly ink, which complies with the standards for cosmetics packaging in Europe and the United States. It will not peel off or contaminate the products.
Material and Compliance: Compliant with global cosmetic packaging standards
Cosmetic products come into direct contact with the skin, so the safety of the packaging material is of utmost importance. All Kang Hua's white glass jars for cosmetics are made of food-grade high borosilicate glass, which does not contain heavy metals. They have passed international cosmetic packaging safety certifications such as FDA and EU 10/2011, and can be directly used for packaging imported and exported cosmetic products. At the same time, we also offer a recyclable glass material option, which aligns with the global trend of "sustainable cosmetics" and helps brands build an environmentally friendly image.
