Why We Use Glass Packaging for Every Yummylicious Product
The Philosophy Behind the Bottle
At Yummylicious Skincare, we believe that true skincare purity starts not just with what’s inside the jar, but with how it’s packaged. That’s why we’ve made a conscious decision: no plastic packaging, ever.
Every Yummylicious serum, cream, and oil comes in pure, high-quality glass jars and bottles. Why? Because your skin deserves ingredients that stay potent, unpolluted, and protected.
Your Skin Absorbs What You Apply
It may surprise you to know that your skin doesn’t just wear your skincare—it absorbs it. Scientific studies suggest that up to 60% of what we apply topically can penetrate the skin barrier and enter the bloodstream, depending on the formulation and skin condition1.
This is particularly true for:
– Lipid-soluble (oil-based) ingredients
– Small molecules like vitamins and actives
– Products applied daily or to sensitive areas
Because of this, ingredient purity is not just a luxury—it’s a health consideration. What holds your skincare matters.
The Problem with Plastic
Plastic packaging isn’t just wasteful. It can also be harmful to your skin and your body. Here’s why:
√ Microplastics and chemicals like BPA and phthalates can leach into skincare products, especially under heat or light.
√ Oil-based products are particularly prone to drawing these contaminants out of plastic.
√ These chemicals have been associated with endocrine disruption, skin irritation, and cellular stress2.
You wouldn’t pour a fresh organic juice into a plastic cup and leave it in the sun. So why do that with your skincare?
Why Glass Is the Gold Standard
Glass is:
√ Non-reactive: It won’t alter or destabilize the contents.
√ Inert and airtight: Preserves the integrity of sensitive compounds like vitamin C, stem cells, peptides, and essential oils.
√ Completely plastic-free: No leaching, no hidden chemicals, no compromise.
Beyond safety, glass packaging also protects against oxidation and UV exposure, keeping your formulas fresher, longer.
Safe for Your Body. Safe for the Planet
Glass is endlessly recyclable, beautiful to hold, and doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution. It reflects our commitment to luxury that doesn’t compromise your health or the Earth.
