Making matters worse, see-through glass jars or clear tubes or bottles, allow routine exposure to daylight, further compromising the efficacy of the ingredients. And let’s not forget the hygiene issue: every time you dip your fingers into a jar, you contaminate the formula even if you wash your hands, it’s simply impossible to keep your fingers completely clean. This hygiene issue stresses the preservative system, leading to further deterioration of the beneficial ingredients in your skincare product.

A certain air of prestige around pretty and elegant jars will always remain, they look good on your vanity top, feel luxurious to scoop out and it is understandable why people still like to choose them and that is why so many brands still continue to produce skincare in jars. However, at Carefulface, we believe airless pumps are the best packaging when it comes to skincare, by restricting the air flow, they keep all the active ingredients stable and free from external contamination.

Airless pumps are a modern innovation for dispensing applications. Airless packaging technology involves a vacuum being created in the cylinder, which pulls up a piston that forces the liquid out. This means your product is protected from contamination because no air can get in.

All the products in the Carefulface skincare range come in airless pumps.
