About our bottles
Glass breaks, plastic doesn’t!
We use PLASTIC, not glass
The very first feature of our bottles you will notice, is that it’s made from plastic. Technically, it’s HDPE which is an extremely tough, rigid plastic polymer that (unlike glass) is practically impossible to break and fully recyclable.
Our bottles are blow molded locally in South Africa (not China!). Not only does this support local businesses and employment, but it also ensures a consistant supply of bottles – something we have struggled with in the past due to our large volumes we demanded from our importers.
To track our bottles’ quality, each has a batch number pressed into the base. If we EVER have quality issues, we will just discontinue that batch’s mould.
Crimped on pumps – not screw on
For greater reliability, we crimp our pumps onto our bottles. Screw on pumps are sensitive to miss-matches in thread alignment, so we bypass this potential problem completely.
Because we crimp onto plastic, we can apply a greater amount of pressure thereby forcing the pumps permanently onto the bottles. We effectively use “brute force” to over come any possible mismatch.
(Fortunately, our plastic bottles allow for far more pressure than glass bottles because plastic can’t chip or shatter)
This also ensures that no-one can reuse our bottles and put their own, inferior perfume into our bottles.
Three embossed logos on the bottle are proof of an original
