Plastic vs. Glass: Why Skincare Brands Are Making the Switch

When you think about your skincare products, your mind probably jumps to the formulas—the ingredients working their magic to give you glowing, healthy skin. But have you ever stopped to think about what’s holding those formulas? Packaging might seem like an afterthought, but it plays a huge role in protecting your products, shaping your experience, and yes, even impacting the planet.

At Blair Skincare, we’re always asking ourselves how we can do better—for your skin and the world we all share. One of the biggest shifts we’re making? A transition from plastic to glass packaging where we can.

Why Glass? Let’s Break It Down

1. Keeping Your Skincare Safe and Effective

Skincare is chemistry, and certain ingredients—like the ones in our Vitamin C Serum or Tonic—are sensitive to light, air, and environmental exposure. Glass offers unparalleled protection, creating a stable environment that keeps your products fresher, longer. Unlike plastic, which can sometimes leach chemicals into formulas, glass ensures that what you’re putting on your skin is exactly what we intended: pure, effective, and uncompromised.

2. A Step Toward Sustainability

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: plastic waste. Globally, only about 9% of plastic is recycled, while the rest ends up in landfills or oceans, harming wildlife and ecosystems. Glass, on the other hand, is infinitely recyclable—meaning it can be reused over and over without losing quality.

Switching to glass packaging is one way we’re reducing our environmental footprint, and while it’s not a perfect solution, it’s a meaningful step in the right direction.

3. Elevating Your Everyday Ritual

Skincare is personal—a ritual of self-care that deserves intention and beauty. There’s something undeniably special about the weight of a glass bottle in your hands. It’s sturdy, sleek, and makes your routine feel just a little more luxurious.

Not Everything Can Be Glass (Yet)

We want to be transparent: not all of our packaging can be glass—at least not yet. Some products, like those stored in pumps or tubes, require plastic for practical reasons like durability, hygiene, or usability. In these cases, we’re committed to using the most responsible materials available and working toward more sustainable solutions.

Where We’re Headed Next

Transitioning to glass is just one piece of the puzzle. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve.Our ultimate goal? To leave the planet better than we found it while continuing to create products that uplift your confidence and transform your skin.

The Power of Small Changes

Switching to glass might seem like a small decision in the grand scheme of things. But when we, as a community, make mindful choices—choosing products that align with our values—it creates a ripple effect.

Thank you for being on this journey with us, for caring about your skin and the world we live in. Together, we’re proving that skincare isn’t just about what’s in the bottle. It’s about what the bottle stands for.

Here’s to small, meaningful changes—and a more sustainable future.
