Friday Fun PT 3: Packaging That Protects the Glow: ʻIli and Pono Leo Show

ʻIli Skincare + METPET: Where Beauty Meets Barrier

When you think of salt scrubs, you probably picture texture, scent, and silky skin. But to keep all that freshness sealed in, you need you need the right packaging. ʻIli Skincare uses a custom METPET bag for their hibiscus grapefruit salt scrub, and there's a reason why.

Packaging Inspiration: Beauty, Meet Play

At Savor Brands, we know packaging is your first impression, your brand story, and your protector. That’s why we work with skincare brands like ʻIli and also explore the creative side of what packaging can do. Here’s why that matters:

• Salt scrubs can clump or lose scent if exposed to air.
• Natural oils and extracts break down when hit with heat or light.
• METPET helps lock in aroma and texture without adding weight.

What is METPET?

METPET is short for metallized polyester. It’s a high-performance film coated with aluminum powder. This boosts the already strong polyester with better barrier protection against moisture, air, and light. That means your skincare stays more stable, and more effective, longer. ʻIli’s choice of packaging speaks to their brand which is clean, stylish, and built to perform. And with that smooth matte finish and bold color palette, the bag stands out on the shelf while working behind the scenes to keep your product safe.

We offer a variety of different packaging options past QSBB bags for skin/cosmetic care products, like spouted pouches, that you could use for hair masks, face masks, moisturizer, etc. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out our Friday Fun with the Pono Leo bag.
