Question

What material are the amber plastic bottles made of, and are they suitable for packaging Vitamin C serum and other acids like Citric Acid and Glycolic Acid (up to 50% concentration)?

Answer

Yes, the amber plastic bottles are made of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). PET plastic can withstand weak acids like Vitamin C, even at high concentrations. It is also suitable for other AHA acids such as Citric Acid and Glycolic Acid at concentrations up to 50%. Therefore, these bottles are suitable for packaging Vitamin C serum.
