Brand New to Skincare? How to Choose the Perfect Cream Tube for Your First Launch.
Choose by "Application Area" (Applicator Solution)
1. Eyes or Firming Treatments
For eye creams or firming serums, a Rollerball Head is the superior choice. It allows customers to massage the skin while applying the product, instantly increasing the perceived value and luxury of your brand.
2. Facial Cleansing
If you are developing a facial cleanser, a Silicone Brush Head is a game-changer. It helps customers achieve a deeper clean and serves as a unique selling point (USP) that sets your brand apart from traditional cleansers.
3. Spot Treatments
For targeted products like acne gels, you should opt for Small Tubes (5g – 15g) with a Precision Tip (Nozzle Tip). This design ensures accuracy, allowing the user to apply the product exactly where it's needed without waste.
Choose by "Viscosity" (Formula Texture)
1. Low Viscosity (Liquid / Serum)
For fluid or runny formulas, we recommend a Dropper Tube or a Precision Tip (Nozzle Tube). These designs allow the user to control the flow accurately and prevent the product from spilling or creating a mess.
2. High Viscosity (Thick Cream / Ointment)
Thick, rich formulas are best suited for Screw Cap or Flip-Top Cap tubes with a wider orifice (opening). This ensures that the cream can be squeezed out effortlessly without requiring excessive force.
3. Foundation or Sunscreen
For color cosmetics or sun protection, a Pump Tube is the preferred choice. It offers maximum convenience and a premium look, while the pump mechanism helps maintain the hygiene and integrity of the formula inside.
Choosing the Right Capacity
1. Tester / Trial Size (5g – 15g)
Ideal for promotional giveaways, "Free Gift with Purchase" items, or Starter Kits. These small sizes are perfect for allowing customers to try your formula before committing to a full-sized product.
2. Standard Size (30g – 100g)
The most popular and versatile range for the beauty industry. This size is the "gold standard" for Sunscreens, Facial Moisturizers, and Hand Creams.
3. Family / Pro Size (150g – 300g)
Best suited for Body Lotions, After-Sun Gels, or Professional Spa Products. These larger tubes offer better value for high-volume use.
