Question
Can a cleansing water formulation containing an ingredient at 0.5% concentration be packaged in plastic bottles? Are there any specific considerations regarding the type or quality of plastic?
Answer
Regarding packaging your cleansing water formulation with an ingredient at 0.5% concentration in a plastic bottle, it is generally acceptable due to the very low concentration. However, it is recommended to choose a plastic bottle made from a strong and appropriately thick material. Very thin or low-grade plastic might soften slightly, but this does not pose any safety risk. Currently, packaging made from such thin, low-grade plastic is rarely found, but it is good to be aware of this possibility.
