But, what are cosmeceuticals?

Simply put, cosmeceuticals are cosmetic products that contain a higher concentration of active ingredients - a cross between a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical product. They are available over-the-counter, or following a recommendation by a medical professional. Cosmeceutical products include specific ingredients such as: retinol, HA, antioxidants, botanical extracts, marine extracts, AHA’s, UV protection, peptides and exfoliants, providing the user with certain medicinal benefits that produces both cosmetic and therapeutic effects.

Typical examples of cosmeceuticals include: anti-ageing creams and serums, sunscreen, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based products, acne treatments, hair growth solutions, skin tightening, advanced skin cleansers, anti-cellulite creams and lip care. These products are generally topical (applied externally), and are commonly used to improve the look and feel of the skin.

Why are cosmeceuticals becoming so popular?

Cosmeceuticals have been in use for decades. With people being more open to self-care, and looking after their own health and well-being, the cosmeceuticals market is growing rapidly - especially for men. People of all ages are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of maintaining their appearance, and the advantages of protecting their delicate complexions from the effects of ageing, sun damage and other common conditions. Many of the ingredients found in cosmeceutical products are natural, and improved education by the manufacturers of these products have made people realise their benefits. There are many brands that are producing and manufacturing these products, competing fiercely to ensure they are the name that is the most effective, reputable and trusted by professionals – worldwide.

What is it that makes glass the material of choice?

Glass is the most suitable material for cosmeceutical products. It can provide a high level of protection for the product inside. It’s an inert material that guarantees no transference of an unwanted taste or odour, so the product reaches the consumer in the same form it was produced. Glass acts as a barrier to prevent contamination and the migration of outside substances. Glass containers can also come in different tones, with amber coloured glass helping to filter out light.

Choosing to use glass is also becoming more popular for environmental reasons. Glass is considered to be a sustainable product as its natural composition means it’s 100% recyclable. For both the manufacturer and the consumer, glass packaging ensures a more eco-friendly, sustainable choice has been made.
