Tubes are preferred by many cosmetics suppliers as they create soft and smooth touch. As they are soft, they can be made into nearly any shape. Low cost is another reason behind the change. Soft tubes are lighter than rigid containers, thus they require lower costs. What’s more, the softness makes tubes easier to use. You just need to squeeze the tubes and then you will get inner products.

They can effectively prevent the inner products from being contaminated by some contaminants.
