Choosing Heat-Resistant and UV-Safe Packaging for Summer Lines

Summer temperatures can degrade your formulation before it reaches your customer—unless your packaging does its job.

Why Summer-Ready Packaging Matters

Heat and UV light can destabilize formulas, separate emulsions, or degrade actives (like vitamin C or botanical extracts). This is especially true during shipping or shelf display.

What to Look For

  • Opaque or UV-coated containers to prevent light degradation
  • Airless pumps to avoid oxidation and contamination
  • Heat-stable plastics (HDPE, PET) or glass for more sensitive formulas

Packaging for Function and Aesthetics

Your container must protect and look great. Matte finishes, frosted glass, or recyclable tubes meet both standards.

For Sunscreens and Summer Skincare

Sunscreens must comply with strict stability and safety regulations. Packaging affects SPF performance and should preserve the UV filters’ integrity.

Conclusion

Summer is a packaging challenge. Work with your manufacturer and lab to select materials that keep your product—and your brand—safe and effective under the sun.
