- We use amber glass bottles for better UV protection. Amber bottles can filter out blue and ultraviolet light. The problem with blue bottles is that they allow the blue light in and this is not good for essential oils, skin or beard care products. When you protect the ingredients from the harmful UV rays, you are extending the shelf life of the essential oils and maintaining their antioxidant properties.
- Why Glass? Glass is easier to recycle then plastic and more importantly, no harmful chemicals from the plastic can leach into our products. It is said that 60% of what we apply to our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream. Glass is an eco-friendly choice that protects you from chemicals that can be found in some plastic materials.
