 This is an airless pump tube,

Nowadays,airless cosmetic tube is widely used in skincare and beauty industry for its user-friendly functions.Then we will find out more about the history and basis of the airless cosmetic tubes.

Before airless technologies existed, brands chose atmospheric, or dip-tube, pumps tube packaging. These pumps, in one form or another, have been in existence since the seventeenth century, at the time, it was discovered that air has weight, and high pressure will always move toward low pressure areas. When a dip-tube pump is actuated, it creates a low-pressure area in front of the product inside the bottle near the pump intake. The atmospheric air behind the product moves toward the low pressure and pushes the product in front of it until it is dispensed by the pump.

There are two main types of airless pumps. The first and most used is the piston airless system. “A piston airless system uses a molded piston in the bottle, to help push the product out of its package. Airless systems by design create a vacuum. The piston helps maintain that vacuum. The primary benefits are aesthetic and [related to] product evacuation. The biggest challenges are tied to shape limitations—which are typically round or oval—and potentially higher costs than traditional 

packaging.Capturing a small but significant percentage of the airless market, the pouch airless system is also in use today. A pouch system is made of a rigid bottle containing a soft pouch with an airless pump. When the product is expelled, the pouch shrinks so that there is no air intake inside the pouch.

With the time going on and people’s requirement improving,the airless technology was used in the cosmetic tube packaging,and that’s why we can see and use airless cosmetic tubes everywhere.
