How to ensure the chemical stability of cosmetic jars

The chemical stability of cosmetic jars is an important factor in ensuring the quality of cosmetics, extending the shelf life of products and ensuring consumer safety. In the production, storage and transportation of cosmetics, as a container that directly contacts cosmetics, the chemical stability of cosmetic jars is particularly critical.

Material selection: basic guarantee
The material selection of cosmetic jars is the first step to ensure their chemical stability. Common cosmetic jar materials include plastics (such as polyethylene terephthalate PET, polypropylene PP, polyethylene PE, etc.), glass and metals (such as aluminum cans). Each material has unique chemical and physical properties, so when choosing, it is necessary to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as cosmetic ingredients, expected storage conditions, transportation methods and costs.
Plastic materials: Plastics that meet food grade or cosmetic grade standards should be preferred, and materials containing harmful additives should be avoided. At the same time, the chemical corrosion resistance of plastics should be considered to ensure that there is no chemical reaction between them and cosmetic ingredients.
Glass materials: Glass jars are known for their excellent chemical stability and barrier properties, but their fragility is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored. Therefore, when choosing glass jars, it is necessary to ensure that their thickness and strength can meet the requirements of transportation and storage.
Metal materials: Metal cans (such as aluminum cans) generally have good barrier properties and corrosion resistance, but attention should be paid to the interaction between metal and cosmetic ingredients to avoid chemical reactions or corrosion.

Production process: Quality control
The production process of cosmetic cans has a significant impact on their chemical stability. During the production process, the quality of raw materials must be strictly controlled to ensure that the materials meet relevant standards and requirements. At the same time, it is crucial to optimize the production process to reduce pollution and impurities.
Raw material inspection: Strict inspection and screening of raw materials to ensure that the materials are free of impurities and pollution and meet relevant standards.
Production process optimization: Use advanced production processes and equipment to reduce pollution during the production process. For example, when using injection molding technology to produce plastic cans, the injection temperature and pressure should be strictly controlled to avoid overheating of the material or excessive pressure leading to changes in chemical properties.
Cleaning and disinfection: During the production process, the cosmetic cans must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove surface dirt and microorganisms to ensure the hygiene of the product.

Storage conditions: Environmental control
The storage conditions of cosmetic cans are also crucial to their chemical stability. The storage environment should be kept dry, cool and ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures. At the same time, check the storage environment regularly to ensure that conditions such as temperature and humidity meet product requirements.
Temperature control: Cosmetic jars should be stored at a suitable temperature to avoid high temperature causing material aging or changes in chemical properties.
Humidity control: Excessive humidity may cause rust or corrosion on the surface of the cosmetic jar, so the humidity of the storage environment needs to be controlled.
Light control: Direct sunlight may trigger photochemical reactions of certain ingredients in the cosmetic jar, so direct sunlight should be avoided.
