What are the hygienic advantages of Lancel Airless Bottle compared with traditional packaging?

With the upgrading of consumers' requirements for the hygiene and safety of daily chemicals, beauty and medical products, innovation in packaging technology has become the key to the breakthrough of enterprises. The Airless Bottle launched by Lancel is triggering a wave of replacement of traditional packaging in the global market due to its unique airless and closed system.

1. Isolate air contact and block the breeding environment of microorganisms
Traditional wide-mouth bottles, dropper bottles or hose packaging are inevitably in contact with air during use, which accelerates the oxidation reaction. At the same time, microorganisms and dust in the air are easy to contaminate the contents. Lancel Airless Bottle uses a vacuum pump and piston linkage design to ensure that the contents are only discharged through a one-way valve, and external air cannot flow back into the bottle. Third-party laboratory tests show that in the 28-day continuous use test, the total bacterial count (TBC) in the bottle is always less than 10 CFU/g, while the TBC value of the traditional packaging control group reaches 100-500 CFU/g due to repeated opening and closing.

2. Zero-contact access mechanism to avoid secondary contamination
Traditional packaging relies on the user's fingers to directly touch the bottle mouth or contents (such as cream jars), which is very easy to introduce pollutants such as sebum and sweat. Lancel Airless Bottle adopts a fully enclosed press-type discharging design. Users do not need to insert a dropper or dig with their hands, eliminating cross-contamination caused by hand contact from the source. This feature is particularly valuable in the medical field (such as ointment packaging) and public products (such as hotel toiletries).

3. Reduced dependence on preservatives and upgraded formula safety
To inhibit the growth of microorganisms, traditional packaging products usually need to add higher doses of phenoxyethanol and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, which may cause sensitive muscle irritation or allergic reactions. The sealing of Lancel Airless Bottle allows formulators to reduce the amount of preservatives by 20%-50% while maintaining product stability. For example, after using this packaging, a European skincare brand reduced the product allergy complaint rate from 1.2% to 0.3%, verifying its hygienic advantages and commercial value.

4. Application scenarios: a hygienic closed loop from laboratory to consumer terminal
Beauty field: highly active ingredients (such as vitamin C and peptides) are easily oxidized and inactivated, and Airless Bottle can extend the shelf life of essence by more than 30%;
Medical field: ointments, disinfectant gels and other products avoid contact contamination and comply with GMP aseptic operation specifications;
Food industry: some high-viscosity condiments use similar technology to reduce the risk of deterioration after opening.

5. Industry trend: Hygiene standards drive packaging upgrades
According to the Global Packaging Insights 2023 report, 67% of consumers believe that "contactless packaging" is an important consideration for purchasing personal care products. Lancel Airless Bottle is certified by ISO 22716 (Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics) and USP<51> (Antibacterial Effectiveness Test). Its patented anti-reflux valve and recyclable material design meet the needs of hygiene, environmental protection and cost-effectiveness.

The Lancel Airless Bottle not only solves the inherent defects of traditional packaging, but also redefines the "hygiene" standard through technological innovation. At a time when consumers' health awareness and regulatory efforts are increasing simultaneously, the use of this type of packaging is not only a choice for companies to fulfill their social responsibilities, but also a strategic layout to seize the high-end market. In the future, with the integration of material science and intelligent sensing technology, airless packaging may become one of the cornerstones of health and safety in the era of Industry 4.0.
