Skincare and cosmetic science has come such a long way, there are so many new innovations in all fields such as moisturisers, sunscreens, foundations and masks, state of the art formulas are being produced daily and to get the best for our skin these formulas need to be packaged correctly. In order for the ingredients to stay sanitary and to live up to their maximum potential they have to be packaged in a stable condition, and outdated jar packaging is not the way. 

The ingredients in the jar, no matter how state of the art they may be will break down in a jar due to lack of stability when they are exposed to light and oxygen. Some products will come with small spatulas to scoop out product, saving you the lack of hygiene from constantly dipping dirty fingers in and out, but this doesn't stop what you can't control; light or air. These ingredients are just as vulnerable to damage from pollution, sunlight, smoke and environmental attack as your own skin. Unfortunately the skincare and cosmetics industry continues to onslaught consumers with jar packaging despite it's faults, and this is because women love the appearance and the luxurious appeal of jar packaging. Think about it, a rich and glamourous lifestyle with a high class array of skincare products from Shiseido, Chanel and La Mer littered all over your vanity appeals to you doesn't it? Hence the skincare industry continues to utilise it, as a marketing strategy.

There are so many amazing products with wonderful formulas that you really shouldn't waste your time or money on products in bad packaging, I cannot recommend any product packaged in a jar apart from gel eyeliners, creme eyeshadows or pigments, or lip balms.
