An airless dispensing system refers to a packaging mechanism designed to protect and dispense products by minimizing exposure to air. It consists of a container with a special pump or mechanism that creates a vacuum seal, preventing air from entering the package. The system typically utilizes a flexible bag or piston to push the product upward as it is dispensed, ensuring maximum product evacuation. The term "airless dispensing system" is often used interchangeably with "airless pump" or "vacuum pump."
 
For businesses in the beauty industry, an airless dispensing system offers several advantages. It helps extend the shelf life and preserve the integrity of the product by minimizing exposure to air, light, and contaminants. This is particularly beneficial for formulations containing sensitive ingredients, such as antioxidants, vitamins, or natural extracts, which can degrade or become less effective when exposed to air. The airless design also reduces the risk of product oxidation, maintains stability, and minimizes the need for preservatives. In addition,the vacuum seal prevents waste by ensuring efficient product evacuation, allowing users to dispense every last drop.
