Glass Matters: The Safer Choice for Your Skin and Your Family
At Bodywork Energetics, we care about every detail that goes into your wellness — not just the ingredients in our products, but what they’re stored in too. That’s why we use glass packaging for everything we make: from our magnesium creams and face oils to our Arnica Salve and Calm Baby.
You deserve to feel confident about what you’re putting on your body — and that includes knowing your products are safe from unwanted chemicals. Glass helps us deliver the purest, most effective experience possible, without compromise.
Plastic Packaging: What’s the Problem?
Many plastics, especially when exposed to heat, light, or time, can leach chemicals into the product they contain. These chemicals may include:
• Phthalates – used to make plastics flexible, they’re known endocrine disruptors.
• BPA (Bisphenol A) – often found in polycarbonate plastics, it can mimic estrogen in the body.
• Microplastics – over time, tiny plastic particles can break off and enter the product, especially in oils or balms.
Even so-called “BPA-free” plastics may contain BPS or other substitutes that haven’t been proven to be safer.
When plastic containers hold magnesium chloride, herbal-infused oils, or essential oils (which can be naturally reactive), the risk of chemical interaction and leaching increases — particularly with oily or acidic formulations. These substances can break down plastic over time or absorb unwanted compounds from it, altering both the safety and effectiveness of your product.
Why Glass Is the Healthiest Choice
Glass is:
• Non-reactive: It won’t interact with the contents, no matter how long it’s stored or how potent the formula is.
• Impermeable: No chemicals leach into your oils, salves, or magnesium — even with heat, light, or extended use.
• Stable and pure: Glass preserves the integrity of herbal infusions, essential oils, and active ingredients like magnesium chloride.
This means when you’re applying our topical magnesium, Renew Face Oil, Calm Baby, or Arnica Salve, you’re only putting on what we intentionally crafted — nothing more, and nothing hidden.
Safe Enough for Your Baby — and for You
When we developed Calm Baby, we chose gentle, nourishing botanicals with your baby’s sensitive skin in mind. It only made sense to protect that purity with glass, the safest option for both infant and adult skin care.
Your skin is your largest organ. It absorbs much of what you put on it. That’s why it’s worth choosing products packaged in a material that won’t compromise your health — especially when using daily products like magnesium cream or hydrating body oil.
Our Promise
At Bodywork Energetics, our commitment to glass isn’t just a branding decision — it’s a wellness decision. From start to finish, we want every product you use to support your well-being, with no hidden risks.
Choosing glass is just one more way we honor your body and your health — the way it should be.
