Cosmetic packaging is the use of cardboard material to paper-wrap and/or box and contain various cosmetics (solid, fluid and semi-solid), makeup products. Such cosmetic products include: face creams, lipstick, hair colorants, tanning lotions, nail varnish’s or perfumes.

Cosmetic packaging is especially designed and developed to protect cosmetics from physical, chemical, biological and atmospheric factors. The cardboard structure encases the product in a way that it will not be exposed to its surroundings. UV inhibitors within the cardboard can also help prevent discoloration or degradation of contents. Not only does the paper-based exterior case provide support for fragile glass containers but it acts as protection against bumps and other external damages that could damage the content while still in transit. For example: for hair dyes, hair mascara & hair styling items — cardboard cosmetic packaging reduces color bleed and prevents harmful ingredients from coming into contact with user’s skin or scalp (to reduce risk of allergic reaction).
