Question
I have a product containing approximately 5% Tea Tree Oil. I am concerned about using plastic packaging. What type of packaging is suitable for this product?
Answer
Based on your question about packaging for a product containing approximately 5% Tea Tree Oil and your concern about using plastic:
- You are right that Tea Tree Oil can react with certain plastics, making plastic packaging unsuitable.
- Glass bottles are recommended for packaging products containing Tea Tree Oil.
- For bottle caps that may contain plastic or rubber parts, the staff advises testing compatibility by filling the bottle and observing for 2-4 weeks, as some plastics might be suitable.
- It is important to select bottles that protect the product from light and air, such as opaque or amber glass bottles, because Tea Tree Oil degrades quickly when exposed to light and air.
- The shop suggests checking dbale.com for a variety of suitable glass bottles.
