UV-Alarm packaging for UV-sensitive skincare and suncare products

Color-changing packaging is plastic components with photochromic dyes that react to UV light exposure. SR Packaging offers color-changing UV-alarm tubes, bottles, and jars to remind users to reapply sunscreen or keep delicate skincare products out of sunlight.

Turn plastic into UV-alarm packaging

The use of photochromic dyes in plastic creates special compounds that change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light or sunlight. The speed of the color transit depends on the intensity of sunlight and the addition ratio of photochromic dyes.

By utilizing photochromic dyes its plastic packaging SR Packaging transforms beauty packaging into UV-alarm packaging. Tubes, bottles and airless packs can all benefit from this technology that reminds the consumer to protect their pack or reapply their sun protection.

Safety compliant and ready to recycle

Ensuring safe skincare and cosmetic product usage, UV-Alarm packaging is compliant with RoHS and EN-71-3 standards, aligning with FDA regulations.

While being innovative and visually appealing, the mono-material UV-alarm packaging is also recyclable post-use to ensure that the plastic material goes on to be used again.

How does UV-Alarm packaging work?

When UV light reaches the packaging, the light energy is absorbed. This causes a structural change in the molecule. This structural change leads to a distinguishable color change on the components.

When the UV light is removed, the molecule returns to its original state and the component reverts to its original color.
