Plastic Cream Jar vs. Plastic Airless Bottle

This is a classic trade-off between cost/convenience and product preservation.

Is a Cream Jar Right for Your Product?

Choose a Jar for:

• Thick, textured products: Body scrubs, thick balms, butters, masks.

• Products used infrequently: Night creams, specialty treatments where a small jar is used quickly.

• Cost-sensitive products: Where the budget doesn't allow for more expensive airless packaging.

• Stable Formulas: Products without ingredients that are highly sensitive to air or light.

Avoid a Jar for:

• Potent, air-sensitive serums: Vitamin C, retinoids, peptides.

• Lightweight lotions or fluids: Which are better suited for pumps or bottles.

• Products for travel: Unless it's a very small, securely closed jar that you don't mind getting messy.

Travel Considerations

• Pros: Small plastic jars are lightweight and available in TSA-friendly sizes (under 3.4 oz / 100 ml).

• Cons: The major risk is the lid coming off and the product spilling all over your bag. Always:

  1. Ensure the lid is screwed on extremely tightly.

  2. Place a small piece of plastic wrap over the opening before screwing the lid on for an extra seal.

  3. Place the jar in a sealed zip-lock bag as a containment barrier.
