Why acrylic bottles are suitable for cosmetic bottles

Acrylic cosmetic bottles are an incredibly popular method used for the storage of liquid cosmetics and even some powders. More often than not, they are used to store lotion or a creamy cosmetic liquid, though some are also used for perfumes. Powders can be stored in the smaller bottles, though it is not recommended, especially for the tall, slender bottles, since it can be difficult and messy trying to remove the powder. This is not to say that powders cannot be stored inside the bottles and in the cases of some packaged dry shampoos, acrylic bottles are an excellent storage option. However, they are incredibly useful when it comes to storing lotion since the acrylic tends to have slick surfaces that prevent the lotion from sticking to the sides of the inside of the bottle. It is also perfect for perfumes since acrylic has no scent that can be transferred to the contents.

Acrylic is a durable synthetic material that is typically clear, but can also come in a soft, clouded pearl color. Since it is man made and composed of synthetic resins and textile fabrics, it is durable but also light weight. These containers come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. They are either air-tight or refillable, depending on the attachment of the container. The bottles can be thick or thin, depending on the manufacturer’s preference or the materials being stored. The thicker bottles, especially when combined with the clouded pearl color, give the product an elegant, luxurious appearance that is great for higher end beauty products. Acrylic bottles are similar in appearance to glass, which makes them appealing to buyers, but will not shatter as easily as glass does. They look very elegant and they are durable. Many manufacturers prefer acrylic plastic because it is easy to mass produce and it allows longer shelf-life for the cosmetic product.

Acrylic, in addition to being durable, is also fairly inexpensive, especially compared with glass products. It holds up a lot better than the plastic bottles which can easily break down over time if stored in warm cabinets. Acrylic material also does not produce any residue, unlike plastic, so there will never be any shavings or small pieces in the cosmetic product that can potentially clog the hose or damage the product inside the bottle. Acrylic bottles can also survive a substantial drop without shattering which makes them more efficient than glass bottles.

The bottles are typically tall, and rectangular. For lotions, they may have a simple plastic cap that is fitted on with screws, or may include a pump that produces a small amount of lotion. For perfumes, the bottles with include a thin hose that snakes down into the bottle and a spraying mechanism to evenly distribute the perfume. At the top of the bottle, there is a narrow opening that is typically substantially smaller than the rest of the bottle. This opening will feature threads and a cap. The cap may be a simple pump, a spritzer, or a even just a standard plastic cap depending on the product that being stored. The threads allow for the top of the bottle to be removed, exposing the materials inside, and can be screwed back into place at any point in time, making the bottle airtight. The easy removal of the cap also allows for the bottle to be cleaned and reused.
