Over the years, we have built a diverse portfolio designed to fulfill the complex regulatory and design needs of international beauty brands. Our specialized catalog includes:
A strategic analysis of preservation, sustainability, and luxury brand equity in Switzerland.
Switzerland is globally renowned for its high-performance anti-aging research, cellular skincare clinics, and organic cosmetic products. Brands operating in Geneva, Zurich, and the Canton of Valais leverage alpine ingredients such as glacier water, edelweiss extract, and alpine rose stem cells. However, these natural and bioactive compounds are highly sensitive. Traditional packaging exposes these formulas to atmospheric oxygen, UV radiation, and microbial contaminants, forcing cosmetic chemists to load their formulations with synthetic stabilizers and preservatives.
To retain their clean beauty credentials and comply with strict Swiss and EU cosmetic safety laws, brands are migrating to airless glass bottles. Unlike standard plastic pump dispensers, airless glass systems combine the chemical inertness of Type III (or Type I) borosilicate/soda-lime glass with a hermetically sealed piston or bag-in-bottle system. This mechanism completely isolates the formulation from oxygen, extending active shelf life without chemical preservatives.
While plastic (PP, PET, or PMMA) airless packaging is popular for mass-market products, premium Swiss brands demand glass for several reasons:
When selecting a glass airless packaging system, it is vital to test the compatibility of the formula's viscosity with the pump's output rating (typically ranging from 0.1ml to 0.25ml per stroke). Formulations with high lipid contents require specialized rubber seals (such as EPDM or Nitrile) within the airless pump to prevent swelling and mechanical failure over time.
Custom designs tailored for clinical creams and high-end makeup bases.
European cosmetic procurement operates in a highly competitive market where speed-to-market and cost efficiency must not compromise product safety. While Swiss design labs specialize in branding and formulation, regional glass production can face capacity limits and high tooling costs.
By leveraging Lecos Glass's advanced production base in China, Swiss and European brands gain a competitive edge:
How our glass airless and dropper systems solve packaging challenges for local manufacturers.
Location: Valais Canton Skincare Labs
Organic formulations enriched with Alpine Edelweiss extract are highly prone to degradation when exposed to oxygen. Our airless glass bottles feature a double-wall barrier, maintaining serum potency and extending shelf life by up to 24 months without synthetic preservatives.
Location: Geneva & Zurich Medical Spas
High-end cellular repair concentrates containing growth factors demand precise dosage. Our premium glass dropper and pump systems deliver exact micro-dosing (0.15ml per stroke) to avoid product waste while providing a luxurious application experience for patients.
Location: Lausanne Bio-Tech Incubators
To align with European green packaging mandates, we supply refillable glass jars featuring a reusable outer glass structure paired with an inner thermoformed PCR-plastic cup. This reduces plastic waste by up to 80% while retaining the premium glass aesthetic.
At Lecos Glass, our operations are built on a solid foundation of deeply held values that steer our daily actions and corporate culture. We focus on ethical sourcing, strict adherence to global environmental regulations, and support for universal human rights. We work to mitigate environmental impacts through efficient energy management in our furnace installations and glass recycling processes.
To support global beauty brands, we ensure consistency across three core metrics:
How procurement managers can secure their supply chains and reduce delivery lead times.
In the cosmetics industry, delays in packaging delivery can disrupt production schedules and delay product launches. Standard production cycles for glass bottles range between 30 and 45 days due to the cooling speeds of glass molds. To mitigate this risk, Lecos Glass offers custom safety stock agreements for regular clients. We store semi-finished glass blanks in our warehouses, enabling rapid customization, labeling, and delivery in as little as 15 to 20 days upon contract execution.
Importing primary packaging into Switzerland requires compliance with both Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) directives and EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 on materials intended to come into contact with food. This ensures the packaging does not transfer harmful substances to the formula. Our materials undergo migration screening for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium), verifying compliance with European standards. We provide comprehensive documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (CoA), material declarations, and ISO 9001 certifications.
Our products conform to the aesthetic and quality requirements of leading luxury labels.
