The cosmetic packaging specialists will add the newest 50ml jar to the line of Sulapac Nordic Collection by Quadpack. This innovative packaging is possible due to Sulapac's new bio-based barrier solution. The patent-pending technology uses bio-based and biodegradable material. Its barrier technology securely stores water-based products such as skincare, haircare, lip care, men's grooming, moisturizers, and anti-aging treatments. While the inner layer of the jar is made with the new barrier, the outer layer remains the same, with the line's well-known bio-composite material. Available in nine colors, the entire jar is biodegradable.
