Safe Packaging for Body Butters

The first thing to consider when choosing packaging for body butter is whether the packaging you choose is safe for the product. You want to make sure you choose a container. The best packaging options will not affect the composition of your body butter product. Two great options are glass and stainless steel. Glass is non-porous and will be inert to any ingredient you include. Stainless steel works well for many recipes as well. HDPE and PET containers are generally safe options due to their low permeability and because they are resistant to breaking down.
