The Benefits of Glass Over Plastic in Skincare: Why Sustainability is Important to Us
If you’ve shopped with us at Thompson Tallow, you’ve probably noticed we use glass packaging for our skincare products. As a holistic skincare brand, we’re all about being eco-friendly in any way that we can—and we love encouraging our customers to do the same!
Glass Packaging: Good for Your Skin
Let’s talk about why glass is a better choice for your skin. Unlike plastic, it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals like BPA or plasticizers that can negatively impact your skincare products. That means your favorite lotions and oils stay clean and safe.
Skincare should be as pure and natural as the ingredients inside. Using glass keeps your products free from unwanted toxins, which can make a big difference in how your skin absorbs and reacts to them.
Reducing Plastic Consumption: Good for the Planet
Plastic is everywhere—in bottles, packaging, and even in the water we drink. The tough part? It doesn’t just go away. Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down, and a lot of it ends up in our oceans, harming wildlife and polluting the planet.
That’s why we’ve chosen to cut back on plastic wherever we can. Glass, on the other hand, is 100% recyclable and can be reused over and over. It’s far less likely to end up in a landfill or the ocean, making it a much better choice for the environment.
Why It Matters: Small Choices Add Up
You might be thinking, "I’m just one person—does it really matter?" The truth is, every small choice adds up. When more of us choose things like glass packaging, it creates a ripple effect that leads to real change. By supporting sustainable brands like ours, you’re already making a difference! Choosing glass is a simple step toward being kinder to both your body and the planet. And it’s a win-win—your skincare stays fresh and chemical-free, and together we help reduce plastic waste.
Thank you for choosing our products and supporting what we stand for. It feels great knowing that every time you use Thompson Tallow, you’re not just treating your skin—you’re also helping protect the planet!
