Glass: Features: Glass bottles have good chemical stability and can resist the erosion of many cosmetic ingredients, while high transparency can show the colour and texture of the product and enhance the visual effect of the product. 

In addition, glass bottles can be subjected to a variety of surface treatments, such as frosting, spray painting, electrochemical aluminium engraving, etc., in order to increase aesthetics and anti-counterfeiting.

Applicable Scenarios: Suitable for high-end cosmetics, skin care products and occasions where the texture of the product needs to be displayed.

Plastic: Common materials: PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) and so on.

Features: Plastic bottles are relatively low cost, easy to process and mould, and can be customized according to the need for colour and surface treatment. Some plastic materials such as PET also have good environmental performance and barrier properties.

However, the transparency of plastic bottles may not be as good as glass bottles, and may lack in some chemical stability.

Scenarios: Suitable for low-end and mid-range cosmetics, skin care products and occasions where cost control is required.
