Refillable Thumb-Swipe Packs

Yonwoo Unveiled the Acto Cosmetic Pack

Yonwoo introduced the Acto cosmetic pack designed for one-handed use featuring a thumb-swipe closure that releases product with a single gesture.

The pack combines a tactile dispensing mechanism with an integrated refill chamber, designed to simplify application while reducing single-use plastic. Acto’s form factor emphasizes ergonomic contours and a sealed refill port to maintain hygiene and limit leaks. The system supports brand refills and is compatible with standard refill cartridges, letting consumers replenish product without discarding the main dispenser.

For consumers, Acto aims to streamline daily routines by enabling effortless, single-handed dispensing and longer-lasting packaging. The design aligns with rising demand for reusable beauty formats that cut waste while preserving premium user experience.
