Preservative-free products thanks to the violet glass

While the demand for natural products has grown, avoiding the use of preservatives in the production of products has been a challenge for many companies. To solve this issue, companies started to use Miron Glass packaging. By simply changing the colour of the packaging, companies can produce natural, preservative-free products without affecting the shelf life of the products. In addition, the packaging looks glossy black when the packaging is complete, giving the impression of a VIP product. More and more companies are choosing to buy wholesale glass dropper bottles to get a better price per bottle, putting more competitively priced products on the market. Also, because the products are no longer made with chemicals, they do not cause allergies. Companies can reach more consumers by simply changing the colour of the glass in their packaging.

Blocking light rays

Each element comprises a cellular structure that reacts in different ways to light or water. For example, some metals oxidise if they come into contact with water. With natural products, decomposition occurs more rapidly. To prevent this decomposition, scientists must find ways to maintain the molecular structure of the ingredients in these products. The function of violet glass is to strain the light by obstructing the rays that cause deterioration in the molecular arrangement of the substances. If the molecular structure degrades slowly, the products last longer. Imagine that a house of cards represents the molecular structure of a skin cream. If you place a fan or an open window, a draught of air can destroy the house’s structure. If you place a barrier between the fan or the window, the chances of the wind collapsing the house are much smaller. This example mimics how violet glass works to protect natural products.

The planet benefits too

Plastic has become the solid waste that has the most harmful effects on flora and fauna of the seas and oceans. Although plastic can be recycled, it generates toxic gases that are released into the atmosphere and damage the ozone layer. Not only can glass be recycled without polluting, but it can also be reused as many times as you like. For example, if you buy a skin cream, you can use the empty container to store aromatic oils. You can even use hot water and soap to clean the glass thoroughly and store spices, coffee or tea leaves in the container. Thanks to these qualities, glass becomes an excellent alternative to avoid pollution on the planet, reduces waste and helps people to have a better quality of life.
