This product is a finalist in the category Packaging: Design & Materials of Cosmopack 2026
Product Description (No Prototypes accepted)
This innovation spotlights a gas-free spray system powered by mechanical air compression, providing an alternative to aerosol propellants. In contrast to traditional aerosol formats, this eliminates flammability risks and transport restrictions while maintaining stable 360° atomization. The mechanism’s separated air-and-formula architecture additionally enhances product integrity and operational safety. The packaging is designed with a metal, spring-free internal structure, and a precision-engineered nozzle and actuator geometry for consistent atomization. The outer bottle is made from recyclable PET with lightweight PP structural components. Added to this, the system’s modular platform allows for different capacity options suited to different product applications. As the latest version of this innovation, the bottle features interchangeable applicators for compatibility with hair care, body care, and massage products.

Product Innovation
Air Mist differentiates itself by replacing aerosol propellants with a mechanical air-compression system, delivering continuous fine mist without pressurization. Unlike traditional aerosol formats, it eliminates flammability risks and transport restrictions while maintaining stable 360° atomization. Its separated air-and-formula architecture enhances product integrity and operational safety. Fully commercialized and available on Amazon, Air Mist has demonstrated strong market acceptance for its spray performance and ease of use. By combining aerosol-level performance with non-pressurized safety and recyclable materials, Air Mist redefines the continuous spray category through structural innovation and sustainable design.

Research, Clinical Tests & Trials Results (Safety & Dermatological)
Research, Tests & Validation Results (Safety & Performance)
★360° Atomization & Spray Consistency Test (Internal Performance Evaluation, 30 units / 14 days)
Continuous spray testing confirmed stable and uniform atomization in upright, inverted, and horizontal positions. 100% of tested units maintained consistent spray pattern without pressure fluctuation or interruption.
★Vacuum & Seal Integrity Test (400 mmHg / 1 Minute Inverted Condition)
Units were subjected to 400 mmHg decompression and kept inverted for one minute. Results showed zero leakage and stable structural integrity, validating transport safety under pressure variation conditions.
★Drop Resistance & Structural Durability Test (1 Meter / 3 Times, Upright & Horizontal)
Finished products were dropped from 1 meter, three times in both upright and horizontal orientations. No leakage, functional failure, or structural cracking was observed, confirming durability during logistics and consumer handling.
★Repeated Actuation Test (Extended Cycle Performance Test)
Repeated spray activation testing demonstrated stable mechanical performance and consistent atomization without deformation or functional degradation over extended usage cycles.
★Non-Pressurized Safety Evaluation
The mechanical air-compression system operates without flammable propellants or internal gas pressure, reducing risks associated with traditional aerosol systems and improving storage and transportation safety.
All tests were conducted under internal quality control protocols within cleanroom-managed production facilities to ensure commercial readiness, structural reliability, and consistent performance in global cosmetic applications.
