Glass vs. Plastic Packaging


Pengu

Recommended Posts

When it comes to packaging what can I use glass for and what can I use plastic for safely without worrying about any reactions. I read somewhere that essential oils and hydrosols should only be stored in dark glass?

Is this true?

storage is different than what you will be selling in... for storing pure essential oils, dark glass is the right choice (same with fragile oils and hydrosols)- but once its in your product (say lotion at 1, or even less than 1%) it will no longer effect the packaging as much. It really depends on what you are making. Glass is heavier and then there is the issue of breaking in shipping... it has more downsides, in my opinion.
