TU72 Custom Eye Cream Tube with Metal Applicator

Designed for targeted delivery with functional simplicity in mind, TU72 brings together control, protection, and compatibility with modern skincare formulations.

• Precision Metal Applicator

  The applicator is built using an aluminum alloy tip—a smart choice for cosmetics where precise product placement is key.

  • ● Supports controlled dosage and avoids overspill, especially important for concentrated eye-area products.
  • ● Engineered to pair with low- to medium-viscosity skincare treatments.
  • ● Metal construction offers better chemical resistance and is less prone to deforming under pressure.
    
    

• 5-Layer PE Protection

  This tube features a five-layer polyethylene structure, commonly known in the industry as co-extruded PE.

  • ● Inner layer (product contact): Optimized for cosmetic-grade stability
  • ● Middle barrier layer (typically EVOH): Acts as a shield against oxygen and moisture penetration
  • ● Outer layers: Provide structural integrity and print compatibility

This layered setup is well-established in cosmetic packaging for its balance of flexibility, seal integrity, and barrier performance. It also supports advanced filling lines, making it feasible for large-batch production.

Compact, ergonomic, and easy to integrate into specialized skincare routines, TU72 is a fit-for-purpose choice for a range of targeted treatment products.

Eye Creams, Serums & More

The narrow applicator and firm tube body make this format highly compatible with:

1. 1.Eye creams with actives like retinol or caffeine
2. 2.Spot treatment serums for acne, dark spots, or redness
3. 3.Fine-line correctors and under-eye brightening formulas

Its size capacity—ranging from 5 to 12ml—provides flexibility for both full-size retail and professional use.

“Specialized skincare products like serums and eye creams grew by over 18.9% globally in 2024, with applicator-integrated packaging showing a 12.3% adoption increase among premium brands.” — [Mintel Global Beauty & Personal Care Report, May 2025]

This applicator doesn’t just dispense—it contributes to product performance through direct-to-skin contact design.

Cooling Tip Sensation

While not a sensory-focused product, the aluminum applicator does have an operational edge. Metal stays cooler than surrounding plastic components, which:

• ● Helps maintain formula stability during repeated application.
• ● Offers a no-fuss experience by reducing the need for fingers or additional tools.
• ● Adds perceived value for cosmetic consumers, especially for “on-the-go” usage.

This type of built-in delivery system is especially favored in clinical skincare brands where user cleanliness and accuracy are part of the value proposition.

Whether adapting for regulatory needs, brand differentiation, or unique formula compatibility, TU72 supports flexible customization where it counts. These options make the tube adaptable for both indie brands and large-scale OEM production.

Adaptable Applicator Designs

Brands can customize the metal tip design to suit different formulas or user behaviors. Options include:

• ● Rounded massage head (for broader coverage products like eye gels)
• ● Precision-point tips (for spot treatments or prescription skincare)
• ● Dual-function designs (such as cooling roller + dispenser hybrids)

In OEM projects, the engineering team can work from early CAD drafts or iterate from existing molds, reducing development timelines.

Material & Barrier Options

The default 5-layer PE body can be swapped or modified depending on product content or shelf-life goals.

• ● Need more barrier protection? EVOH thickness can be increased for longer oxidation resistance.
• ● Going for eco-positioning? PCR (post-consumer resin) PE options are available for a portion of the structure without sacrificing function.
