Personal Care, Beauty & Sun Care

Packaging Solutions for Beauty, Personal Care & Sun Care Brands

Kevin's Western U.S. territory includes a significant concentration of personal care, beauty, skincare, wellness, and sun care companies. His packaging approach reflects the needs of brands that must balance aesthetics, product protection, dispensing performance, sustainability, cost, and dependable supply.

Personal care and sun care packaging has to perform from formulation through consumer use. The package may need to protect sensitive formulations, dispense lotions or creams consistently, withstand heat and transportation, support brand presentation, run efficiently on filling lines, and meet sustainability and cost goals. Kevin helps customers evaluate the complete packaging system rather than just an individual component.
