Lower Production Cost: Plastic is generally much cheaper to produce than glass or metal. The raw materials and manufacturing processes (like injection molding) are highly efficient and scalable.
Benefit for Brands: This allows for a lower final product price, making creams accessible to a wider market. It also increases profit margins.
Shatterproof: Unlike glass, plastic jars will not break if dropped. This is a major safety advantage in bathrooms and during handling.
Benefit for Everyone: Reduces risk of injury, prevents product loss from breakage, and minimizes damage during shipping and transport. This is crucial for both brands (lower shipping losses) and consumers (safer use).
