In skincare, packaging is more than just a container. It plays a direct role in keeping a product safe and effective. Every container has its own strengths and limits. At DESLY, since our formulas are made with high concentration of active ingredients, we carefully match the right packaging to the right product. For serums and moisturisers, our choice is acrylic airless bottles.
“Not which is best, but which is suitable.”
Container types and their traits
| Container type | Common use | Strengths | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jar (open cap) | Creams, balms | Easy to scoop, good for thick textures | Direct contact with fingers and air, higher chance of contamination |
| Tube | Cleanser, sunscreen | Lightweight, travel-friendly | Each squeeze allows some air back in |
| Spray bottle | Toner, mist | Convenient, wide coverage | Bottle still contains air space inside |
| Dropper bottle | Serum, oil | Easy dosage, premium look | Formula exposed to air every time you open |
| Airless bottle | Serum, moisturiser | Protects from air and light, pumps out until last drop | Higher production cost |
Why DESLY chooses airless bottles
- High concentration actives need protection: Our formulas contain potent ingredients that lose strength if exposed to air or UV.
- Stability until the last drop: The vacuum system prevents oxidation and keeps product fresh.
- Lower contamination risk: No direct contact with fingers or air.
Why acrylic material
Not all airless bottles are equal. DESLY uses acrylic airless bottles because:
- Acrylic is stronger than normal plastic and holds vacuum pressure well.
- It provides better barrier against oxygen and UV light.
- It looks clear and premium like glass, but lighter and safer.
- Although it costs more, it ensures our high concentration formulas remain effective.
Extra layer of safety: twist-to-open pump
To make the design more secure, DESLY airless bottles come with a twist-to-open pump head:
- Prevents accidental leakage when packed in a bag
- Pump head stays firmly attached even if the bottle is dropped
- Maintains full seal when locked, protecting the vacuum system
Conclusion
Choosing acrylic airless bottles is not about luxury packaging. It is a scientific decision to match the needs of DESLY’s high concentration active formulas, protecting them until the last drop.
