An airless cream jar is a sophisticated dispensing system designed to protect and deliver viscous products (like creams, serums, and lotions) without allowing air to enter the product chamber. Unlike traditional screw-top jars, it uses a mechanical, vacuum-based mechanism.
Core Components:
Outer Shell/Decorative Body: The visible, often stylish, outer container.
Inner Collapsible Bag/Piston: A flexible plastic pouch or a piston plate inside.
Pump Mechanism & Dispensing Head: The actuator (often a disk or button) you press.
Base: The bottom, which is often twistable to prime the system or is simply fixed.
