put in jar packaging? I hate jar packaging and only buy in the tube.
However, there are some beauty lines I would like to try if only the creams were in a tube.
Ugh!!

I know what you mean. Certainly jars can look fancier, but they aren't the best choice for preserving the freshness the actual product. I do use some jarred items, but would much prefer it if they came in a tube. For my jarred items, I do use a little spatula. It helps, but it's not perfect.

On the other hand, I do not buy creams in tubes. With my arthritis I cannot squeeze the tubes, the only thing that I buy in tubes is foundations and sunscreens, basically because there is very little choice in those categories. My fingers are clean when I use the jarred creams so I am not worried about germs.

That's a valid point, redtabby. I think there are little tube squeezing helpers out there, but it would probably depend on the users dexterity, if they were able to turn a knob.

It's not a deal breaker for me but I do prefer tubes. I use a spatula for my products that are in a jar.

I don't like jar packaging either for many reasons. And there are people who can't open jars very well due to arthritis, etc so it shouldn't matter regarding that as you will never be able to accommodate everyone's issues. Therefore maintaining the efficacy of the ingredients should be the number one consideration in packaging since that is what we are paying for!

What's the benefit of the tube over the jars, or vice versa? Also, why use a spatula?
