Packaging
What surrounds a formula matters, too. From amber glass to aluminum closures, our packaging choices are made with product protection, material use, and thoughtful design in mind.
We Thought About the Bottle, Too.
Packaging isn't an afterthought. It protects what is inside, affects how a product is stored and used, and determines which materials become part of the product experience. We wanted ours to feel considered from the formula to the final container.
Why Amber Glass?
Glass gives us a durable container that does not require the bottle body itself to be made from plastic.
We chose amber rather than clear glass because colored glass can provide additional protection from portions of light compared with completely transparent glass.
Glass Bottle
A rigid, reusable material for the primary container.
Amber Color
Helps reduce transmission of some wavelengths of light.
Reusable
Empty bottles can also be cleaned and repurposed when appropriate.
Recyclable
Glass is widely recyclable where local collection programs accept it.
Why Does Light Matter?
Light exposure can matter for the stability of certain ingredients. Packaging is one part of protecting a finished product throughout storage and use.
Amber glass reduces transmission of some light compared with clear glass while still giving the packaging the substantial, elevated feel we wanted for Leviora.
Exposure
Light is one environmental factor considered when choosing packaging.
Protection
Amber glass limits transmission of portions of the light spectrum.
A Closer Look at the Package.
Each component has a job. Here's how we think about the primary pieces of Leviora packaging.
Amber Glass
The primary bottle material. Durable, reusable, and recyclable in many municipal recycling programs.
Aluminum Cap
We chose an aluminum exterior closure rather than making the visible cap from conventional molded plastic.
The Label
Designed to keep the essential information clear and readable without turning the bottle into visual clutter.
Why Not a Plastic Bottle?
Plastic is useful, lightweight, and deeply embedded in modern packaging. But when we had the opportunity to choose the primary material for Leviora, we preferred glass.
That doesn't mean our packaging is completely plastic-free. Closures, seals, liners, labels, shipping components, or other functional pieces may still contain polymer-based materials.
For us, thoughtful packaging means being honest about those tradeoffs rather than pretending a package has no environmental footprint.
What Good Packaging Means to Us.
Protect
Packaging should help protect the product through storage and everyday use.
Reduce
Where practical, we prefer thoughtful material choices over unnecessary packaging.
Be Transparent
No package is perfect. We would rather explain our choices and their limitations clearly.
Keep Improving
Packaging materials evolve. Better options should always remain part of the conversation.
What Happens to the Bottle?
An empty bottle doesn't necessarily have to become waste. Depending on your local recycling rules and how you use the bottle, there may be another step for it.
Empty
Remove the remaining product and separate removable packaging components where appropriate.
Clean
Wash and dry the glass bottle before repurposing it.
Reuse or Recycle
Repurpose the bottle when appropriate, or recycle accepted materials according to your local program.
Why Are We Talking About Plastic?
Plastic is part of a much larger environmental conversation. Learn what microplastics are, where they come from, how exposure can occur, and what scientists are still working to understand.
Details Matter. Even the Bottle.
We can't make packaging impact disappear. We can pay attention to the materials we choose, ask better questions, and continue looking for better ways to package the products we make.
