Custom Facial Scrub Tube Packaging

Facial scrubs create a specific packaging challenge: the tube must dispense both the cream or gel base and its suspended exfoliating particles consistently. Particle size, concentration, formula viscosity, tube softness and orifice diameter should therefore be evaluated as one complete dispensing system.

Particle-Friendly Flow

Custom openings help scrub particles pass through the dispensing path consistently.

Controlled Squeeze

Tube softness can be matched to thick gel and cream scrub formulas.

Closure Reliability

Flip-top and screw caps can be tested for residue, leakage and repeated use.

Retail Decoration

Matte, soft touch, CMYK, silk screen and hot stamping are available.

Why Facial Scrub Tubes Need Special Dispensing Design

A standard cosmetic tube opening may work well for a smooth cream but perform poorly when the same formula contains exfoliating particles. The dispensing system should account for the largest particles, not only the average formula viscosity.

Step 1

Particle Size

Measure the approximate maximum particle size and check whether particles remain uniform during storage and dispensing.

  • Maximum particle diameter
  • Particle shape
  • Particle hardness
  • Concentration in formula
Step 2

Orifice Diameter

Select an opening that allows the formula and particles to pass without excessive pressure or inconsistent dispensing.

  • Reduced clogging risk
  • More consistent flow
  • Comfortable consumer squeeze
  • Controlled dosage
Step 3

Tube Softness

High-viscosity facial scrubs may require a softer squeeze profile than lightweight cleansers.

  • Lower squeeze force
  • Better evacuation
  • Comfortable daily use
  • Improved end-of-use dispensing

PBL vs EVOH vs ABL Tubes for Facial Scrub

Scrub particles determine dispensing requirements, but they do not determine barrier requirements. Material selection should be based on the complete formulation, desired appearance and package performance.

Premium Appearance

PBL Facial Scrub Tubes

Plastic Barrier Laminate is suitable for skincare brands seeking strong artwork reproduction, smooth appearance and good squeeze recovery.

  • Premium cosmetic appearance
  • Good squeeze recovery
  • High-quality printed artwork
  • Suitable for many retail facial scrubs
Flexible Barrier

EVOH Facial Scrub Tubes

EVOH multilayer structures provide enhanced oxygen barrier while maintaining flexible PE-based squeeze characteristics.

  • Enhanced oxygen barrier
  • Flexible squeeze
  • Good recovery
  • Suitable for formula-specific applications
High Barrier

ABL Facial Scrub Tubes

How to Develop a Custom Facial Scrub Tube

For particle-containing skincare, packaging development should begin with the formula rather than selecting the tube from capacity alone.

01

Review Formula

Identify the cream or gel base, oils, surfactants and active ingredients.

02

Measure Particles

Record maximum particle size, shape and approximate concentration.

03

Measure Viscosity

Determine the squeeze force and dispensing behavior required.

04

Select Tube Structure

Compare PBL, EVOH, ABL or PE according to the complete formula.

05

Optimize Orifice

Match the dispensing path to particle size, viscosity and dosage.

06

Test Filled Samples

Validate clogging, leakage, squeeze force and closure performance.

Xinfly Engineering Advice

Engineer Recommendations for Facial Scrub Tubes

The biggest packaging risk with a facial scrub is often not barrier performance. It is whether the complete formula can be dispensed consistently through the selected tube and closure.

Ask an Engineer
1. Check the largest particles.

Do not select the opening based only on average particle size. A small number of larger particles can still create clogging.

2. Leave sufficient dispensing clearance.

The opening should allow both the base formula and exfoliating particles to move through consistently.

3. Test thick scrubs for squeeze force.

A tube that feels comfortable with water may become difficult to use after filling with a high-viscosity scrub.

4. Check residue around the closure.

Scrub particles can remain around the orifice and potentially interfere with clean cap closure.

5. Evaluate particle settling.

If particles settle during storage, dispensing behavior may differ between the beginning and end of product use.

6. Test the final filled package.

Tube, shoulder, closure, formula, tail seal and decoration should be validated together.

Facial Scrub Tube Testing & Validation

Particle-containing formulas benefit from repeated dispensing tests rather than relying only on standard empty-package inspection.

01

Formula Compatibility

Evaluate the actual formulation against the tube body, shoulder and closure.

02

Clogging Test

Dispense repeatedly to confirm particles pass through the opening.

03

Squeeze-Force Test

Check how much pressure is required to dispense the filled scrub.

04

Leakage Test

Evaluate upright, inverted and transport-related package conditions.

05

Closure Cycling

Repeatedly open and close the cap with realistic product residue around the opening.

06

Evacuation Test

Determine how easily consumers can dispense the remaining scrub near end of use.
