To protect against UV light that can degrade dyes and aroma in many formulations, Eastman Chemical offers Vitiva PET—a drop-in replacement for standard PET— for clear packaging of cosmetic and personal care products. This FDA-approved UV absorber protects ingredients including external D&C Violet #2, D&C Red #33 and FD&C Blue #1 as well as vitamins A, C and E. Vitiva’s UV guard is not an additive, which eliminates concerns about leaching. Containers made from Vitiva PET block virtually all UV light up to 370 nanometers, ensuring extended shelf-life and product integrity.
