Airless Pump Bottles 101: Examples, Benefits, and Design Ideas to Give You Inspiration

Airless Pump Bottles have been on the rise for cosmetic packaging solutions. Suppliers say that today, consumers are more aware of the benefits of airless packaging—and credit brand marketers for the shift. This shift can be accredited to the increased product life that airless bottles provide. This is due to the new non-pressurized airless chamber technology that excludes dip tubes. Also, due to the demand for products with no or limited preservatives, airless bottles are great for natural and organic serums and creams.


“More brands are choosing airless bottles, so consumers are more aware of the convenience of airless dispensing… We might finally be moving away from the conventional action of dipping a finger into a jar of skin cream.”

Curtis Altmann, director of marketing fo Yonwoo/PKG

How do airless pump bottles work?



Airless bottles are considered a real breakthrough in cosmetic packaging innovation. Airless bottles prevent air exposure, which helps protect and conceal the skin care creams, serums, and foundations that are packaged in each container. Airless bottle packaging has helped increase shelf life in cosmetic packaging by 15% more.  The innovative technology used in these airless bottles include a diaphragm that rises to help evacuate the product and allows the substances within the bottles to be used without any waste left. These bottles are also popular for pharmaceutical products – check out our blog about airless pump bottles for pharmacies to learn more!

Advantages of using airless pump bottles as opposed to other cosmetic packaging containers includes:

  • The double wall of the airless bottle gives the customer the sense of using a luxury product. However, the double wall has a useful function and serves as a double-protector for the product inside.
  • The clear, plastic wall of the airless bottle is perfect for adding a brand logo to the outside. Also, it allows for the product coloration be view-able from the outside to the customer before purchasing.
  • Airless bottles are also perfect for sensitive products such as natural skin care cream, serums, foundations, and more. Also, thanks to the design and function of airless bottles, it provides no amount of wastage for the customer and their special product material.
  • The dosage is exact with every pump. Customers will get every drop of product due to the rising piston. This prevents customers from causing air contact and struggling to extract remaining product.

  1. Fill the sterile airless pump bottle all the way to the top with your desired skin care product over the shoulder for pump engine stem contact. It is very important to avoid bubbly fills!
  2. Next, screw on airless pump securely to guarantee a vacuum seal and allow the airless bottle to preserve the inside product.
  3. Clients will then need to prime the airless pump engine by 5 to 10 pumps to loosen the piston.  NOTE: If the bottle is not completely filled to the top, it will require more pumps to get the product out.
  4. The bottle is now ready for use!
