Collection: Glass Packaging

Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without losing its quality, whereas only a small percentage of plastic is actually recycled. Additionally, glass does not contain harmful chemicals like BPA that may leach into products, making it a safer option for both your health and the environment. At Credo Beauty, we are committed to prioritizing sustainable packaging materials, prompting our brands to use more eco-friendly packaging materials such as glass bottles and glass jars to help reduce plastic waste. We also encourage refillable options, and offer some products with refillable cosmetic glass packaging.

Glass packaging is a great choice for cosmetics packaging, as it can actually help extend the shelf life of clean beauty products. Unlike plastic, glass is impermeable to air and moisture, which can cause products to degrade and lose their effectiveness over time. A glass cosmetic packaging container also keeps microbes out and helps to preserve the integrity of ingredients, ensuring that your clean beauty products stay fresh and potent for longer.

Yes, some clean beauty products are more prone to degradation and benefit greatly from glass packaging. For example, some natural oils and butters can become rancid (rancidity is the natural process of fats and oils breaking down) when exposed to air, light and moisture, making glass packaging essential for preserving their quality. Similarly, clean beauty products that contain active ingredients like vitamin C also benefit from being stored in glass bottles or jars to maintain their potency. Additionally, fragrances and perfumes often come in glass bottles as they are less likely to react with the glass material compared to plastic.

While the cost of glass packaging may be slightly higher than plastic, the long-term benefits and sustainability make it a worthwhile investment. The use of glass adds a sense of luxury to clean beauty products, while also providing a more environmentally friendly option and ensuring that your cosmetic product maintains its quality for a longer period of time. You can also reuse glass packaging for other purposes like organization and decoration.
