Why Packaging Matters for Essential Oils

Essential oils are precious. Their potency, aroma, and therapeutic benefits depend on careful preservation. Unfortunately, exposure to sunlight and artificial light can damage their natural properties. Most glass containers, like amber, green, or clear glass, offer little protection. Over time, oils degrade, lose their vibrancy, and may even grow harmful microorganisms.

At VivApotheca, we’ve chosen Miron Violet Glass as the gold standard for our essential oils. Not only does it prevent degradation, but it also enhances the longevity and effectiveness of the oils.

Miron Violet Glass is more than a container—it’s an active guardian for your essential oils. Here’s how it works:

Selective Light Filtering

Miron glass blocks harmful visible light, including those rays that accelerate oxidation and the growth of bacteria or fungi. At the same time, it allows specific UV and infrared (IR) rays to penetrate.

  • UV Rays: These stimulate the oils’ bioenergetic properties, boosting their potency and preventing microbial growth.
  • Infrared Rays: Known for their energizing effects, these rays help maintain the oils’ natural vitality.

Amber and green glass don’t offer this level of selective filtering, allowing harmful visible light to reach the oils. On the other hand, black glass blocks all light—even the beneficial rays. Miron Violet Glass strikes the perfect balance.

How Miron Glass Protects and Preserves

  1. Inhibits Harmful Microorganisms: The glass’s filtering ability creates an environment that discourages bacteria, fungi, and mold from thriving. Your oils stay fresher and safer for longer.
  2. Prevents Oxidation: Essential oils are sensitive to oxygen and light. Miron glass slows down the oxidation process, preserving the oils’ therapeutic and aromatic qualities.
  3. Extends Shelf Life: By protecting against degradation, Miron glass ensures your oils maintain their full potency, color, and scent for an extended period.

A Sustainable, Luxury Choice

At VivApotheca, we value sustainability as much as luxury. Miron Violet Glass is the ultimate eco-friendly packaging:

  • Reusable and Recyclable: Made from 100% natural materials, the glass can be reused at home or recycled to reduce waste.
  • No Need for Preservatives: Because it protects so effectively, Miron glass eliminates the need for synthetic additives, keeping your oils pure and natural.
  • Eco-Conscious Production: From biodegradable packing materials to sustainable shipping methods, Miron glass supports our mission for a greener planet.

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science

The protective powers of violet glass have been known for centuries. In Ancient Egypt, valuable oils and healing elixirs were stored in violet glass to maintain their effectiveness. Today, Miron Violet Glass continues this legacy with modern technology.

This isn’t just a trend—scientific studies confirm that products stored in Miron glass retain their potency far longer than those in amber or green glass. A simple test with chives showed that after three months, chives stored in clear or brown glass turned dry and gray. Those in violet glass? Fresh, green, and aromatic.
