Airless Tubes For Dermatological Retinol Treatment

In late 2012 Obagi placed high demands on the packaging of their new retinol product: it must protect the product against light, oxygen and moisture loss. It should be easy for the user to dose the product. Since the formulation contains retinol, the packaging must provide a suitable barrier.

In late 2012 Obagi placed high demands on the packaging of their new retinol product: it must protect the product against light, oxygen and moisture loss. It should be easy for the user to dose the product. Since the formulation contains retinol, the packaging must provide a suitable barrier. The retinol should not be able to evaporate so that the cream can remain effective for two years. For high-quality medical products in the beauty sector, it is important that all the materials they come into contact with are fully suitable for pharmaceuticals. In the consultation, Neopac’s 60 years of experience with pharmaceutical packaging was very beneficial; together found an impressive solution: the Polydose™ airless pump tube in 25mm diameter for 28g contents. To insure that the Polydose™ airless pump tube fulfilled all requirements, Obagi carried out use, compatibility and decoration tests. Tube filling was also tested in advance. The tube passed all tests and includes two variants of the prescription product that is given by surgeons to their patients. According to the manufacturer, Obagi 360 0.5 and 1.0 refines the skin’s texture on the face and leaves it looking clearer.
