The Violet Secret: Why We Choose Miron Glass You’ve seen them. Those dark violet glass bottles and jars housing natural and organic beauty potions. You may think it’s just stunning packaging, but Miron biphotonic glass holds an unmatched advantage compared to any other packaging used in skincare. White Turtle Beauty creations live inside striking violet-hued Miron bottles and jars. To us, this isn’t simply packaging. Curious to know why? A Legacy Wrapped in Violet The story of Miron glass begins centuries ago. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and the early apothecaries of Europe treasured violet glass for storing their most precious oils, tinctures, and botanical remedies. These vessels were chosen not just for their beauty, but for their almost magical ability to keep their delicate contents fresh and potent for much longer. The Science of Light and Preservation Miron glass owes its powers to something beautifully simple: light. Most glass — whether clear, amber, or green — allows the full spectrum of visible light to enter, and with it, the slow but steady degradation of what’s inside. Over time, this light can break down precious plant compounds, oxidize oils, and dull the vibrancy of natural ingredients. Miron glass is different. Its deep violet tone acts like a filter, allowing only specific wavelengths — mainly violet, ultraviolet (UV-A), and infrared — to pass through. These particular wavelengths have been shown to help preserve the contents, while blocking the harmful spectrum that speeds up their degradation and spoilage. But it does not end there. They can even subtly energize natural products, and allow them to retain a higher bioenergetic value, increasing the quality and potency of the product stored. The ingredients smell, color and bio-energy is all improved without the need for preservatives.  Beauty with Purpose Choosing Miron glass is not only about protecting a natural formula — it’s about honoring the ritual of skincare by extending the shelf life of your products, reducing waste, and ensuring that every drop or dollop deliver the full sensory experience we intended. It is also a conscious environmental choice. Glass is endlessly recyclable, and Miron bottles and jars are so beautiful and durable, they often find new lives in your home — holding bath salts, herbal teas, or wildflowers long after the original product is gone.

Let’s talk about the vitamin-rich oil your skin will fall in love with: Cacay Oil. Cacay or Kahai oil is extracted from the seeds of the Cacay tree, botanically called Caryodendron Orinocense. Trees grown naturally in Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Colombia. Cacay saplings provide shade for other plants, and is one of the trees that can be planted to reforest grassland areas. This light weight, easily absorbed oil has been used for centuries by indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest for its incredible healing and rejuvenating properties, and ability to soothe scars and stretch marks. High Antioxidant Content One of the key benefits of Cacay nut oil is its ability to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. With a high concentration of vitamins A, E, and F, this oil helps to maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier, preventing dryness and leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. The antioxidants in Cacay nut oil also help to protect the skin from environmental damage and reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. One of The Best Natural Sources of Vitamin A Cacay oil has 1% or higher concentration of natural vitamin A – also known as tretinoin or all-trans retinoic acid. With almost 3 times more vitamin A concentration that Rosehip Oil, it is no wonder why it has been traditionally used to promote healthy skin regeneration without the side effects of synthetic retinoids. Rich in linoleic fatty acid In addition to its moisturizing properties, Cacay nut oil is also known for its ability to improve skin tone and texture. It contains up to 70% linoleic acid (omega 6) a fatty acid that is critical for skin health as it helps maintain the skin barrier leading to firmer, more radiant skin. Cacay nut oil is suitable for all skin types and can help to balance and revive your complexion. Where to find Cacay Oil Cacay oil is one of our favorite ingredients at White Turtle Beauty.
