VBlog: Comparing Product Packaging

Product packaging is more than just an attractive way to sell a product - it can also serve as a potential indicator as to the quality of the product. A company that will invest money in research and development to come up with a revolutionary new product will likely try to package it in a way that will preserve the integrity of the product through its lifetime.

Remember, the beauty products you use are only as good as the packaging they come in - look for something that will protect the product from contamination, light exposure, etc. =) Of course, be reasonable and consider the product itself; there likely isn't a reason to package a foot scrub in a fancy airtight pump bottle!

Seems that skin product contamination is a minor threat considering our skin exists in a nonsterile environment. Our hands and face are covered with much more bacteria and fungi than what could possibly be found in a product jar or tube. Plus, skin products are processed mixtures, very unlikely to have all the necessary nutrients for a microbe flora to develop.

Yup, I definitely agree. That's why I noted in the description box that you should consider the product itself; not every product will require such rigorous packaging.

I'm referring more to maintaining the integrity of the product. For example, since natural and organic products are becoming so prevalent and certain preservatives such as parabens are being avoided by many consumers, it's important that packaging on these items is effective enough to maintain the quality of the product.

Airless packaging can help to prevent the product from oxidizing, to protect the formulations of the products (e.g. active ingredients), and to dispense 100 percent of the product. Also, airless dispensers eliminate contact with the air after the fill process, meaning no drying out of formulas, no contamination and no discoloration.

Again, I encourage my viewers to be savvy and think for themselves; does the formulation match the packaging? =) Hope that helps!

Wow....this is such an informative video....I never even REALLY considered this before.....I really love your nail polish, what brand and colour is it?

And I agree, I love the pump format dispensers the most too! I don't know why, but it just makes me feel like I can control how much product I dispense better....Thank you for this video!! =)
