Specifically designed for formulations that are mixed upon application, the dual-cavity bottle has until now been traditionally reserved for plastic packaging. It is now available in glass, offering premium perceived value. Bormioli Luigi presents the Indue concept together with a dispensing pump developed through Aptar Beauty’s expertise.
This next-generation bottle addresses the challenges of formulas whose active ingredients must be preserved separately and mixed only at the moment of dispensing. This is the condition required to ensure optimal efficacy.
Such is the case with Vitamin C, whose stability and antioxidant properties deteriorate when exposed to air or combined with other activities. Paired with hyaluronic acid, it can deliver significant benefits to the skin. Other examples include niacinamide, retinol, AHAs and bi-phase formulations (water-based and oil-based).
From science to packaging
To support brands in the development of next-generation cosmetic products, Bormioli Luigi sought to leverage the unique properties of molded glass: elegance, preservation and transparency. The Indue bottle, as presented, features chambers with different capacities to accommodate the most common formula ratio (two-thirds/one-third). The industrial challenge lies in integrating two separate cavities within a single bottle while ensuring uniform glass distribution throughout the container.
A tailor-made solution
With the goal of delivering a complete innovation platform ready for development, Bormioli Luigi partnered with Aptar Beauty, whose contribution is a dedicated dispensing system capable of delivering the precise dosage of each formula, blending them only at the moment of application.
Glass demonstrates its full potential
Recognized for its purity and recyclability, glass continues to reinforce its position within the circular economy. With Indue, which means “the two together” in Italian, Bormioli Luigi and Aptar Beauty introduce a new platform for innovation to the packaging market. Brands can fully embrace the concept through distinctive designs, formulation-compatible pumps, customized capacities and, of course, decoration options.
