In this episode, we talk through something that’s easy to overlook in skincare: packaging.

We often think of packaging as design or sustainability, but it plays a direct role in how well a product actually holds up over time. We get into how exposure to air, light, and heat can affect a formulation, and why material compatibility matters more than most people realize.

We also spend time on the tradeoffs. Packaging decisions aren’t just about reducing waste or improving aesthetics. They’re about finding a balance between protecting the product and thinking carefully about long-term impact.

The goal of this conversation is to make that system a little clearer.
