K-Beauty brand, Banila Co, has introduced its new limited-edition Snoopy Packaging for its Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm. This launch comes on the heels of the Peanuts 75th anniversary celebration.

The pink jar features collectible artwork, also featuring Charlie Brown and a character mirror keychain.

The Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm has earned worldwide love for its ability to melt away makeup, SPF, dirt, and impurities in one simple step while leaving skin feeling fresh and hydrated.

The SoFruPak packaging line uses cardboard combined with cellulose film. The materials contain no plastic and are designed to maintain product freshness. The packaging is recyclable and biodegradable within 24 weeks. Because the cardboard and cellulose film can be processed together, the system offers an alternative to PET packaging at a time when regulatory requirements are becoming stricter.
