Shelf Life Secrets: How
Proper Packaging &
Formulation Extend Product Life
Shelf life isn’t just about how long a product lasts-it’s about keeping your customers safe and ensuring your product performs exactly as intended. Here’s how Sprivil creates long-lasting, safe skincare and haircare products.
Why Shelf Life Matters
A product with a poor shelf life can:
- Separate
- Change Color
- Lose Fragrance
- Grow bacteria
- Cause skin irritation
How Formulation Affects Shelf Life
How Formulation Affects Shelf Life
1. Right Preservatives
- Preservatives protect the formula from fungi and bacteria.
- At Sprivil, we choose safe, globally approved preservatives.
2. Stable Ingredients
Some actives (like Vitamin C or Retinol) oxidize quickly. We stabilize them through:
- Encapsulation
- Antioxidants
- Airless packaging
3. pH Balance
A stable pH prevents ingredient breakdown and microbial growth.
4. Water Quality
Purified water reduces contamination risks.
How Packaging Protects the Product
How Packaging Protects the Product
Packaging is just as important as the formula itself.
Airless Pumps
Protect sensitive ingredients from air exposure.
Dark or Frosted Bottles
Prevent light damage for actives like Vitamin C.
Aluminum Tubes & Heavy-Duty Jars
Ideal for balms, gels, and sunscreens.
High-Barrier Plastics
Prevent leakage and contamination.
