Aptar Beauty, a dispensing systems manufacturer, has introduced Maya, its new customisable aerosol actuator.  

Maya is claimed to feature a clean beauty design and a fully customisable top surface that allows brands to incorporate logos, finishes, or sensorial actuation to improve the consumer experience. 

The actuator comes with a twist-to-lock system, which is both easy to use and secure.  

Users can twist left to open, press to spray, and then twist right to close, with an audible click indicating that the actuator is securely locked.  

This feature makes Maya suitable for on-the-go applications, ensuring safety during transit. 

With sustainability in mind, this hoodless solution leverages up to 56% less material compared to traditional actuators with an overcap. 

This actuator is a suitable solution for dispensing spray or high-powder formulations. 

Maya is adaptable across a range of spray applications.

It is particularly effective for products such as hairsprays, deodorants, body sprays, and solid powder formulations such as dry shampoos, foot sprays, and antiperspirants.  

Aptar Beauty manufactured Maya at its North American facility in Cary, Illinois, and is now available to customers globally.

Aptar Beauty North America design and innovation director Greg Erickson said: “Maya delivers high-performance dispensing in a clean beauty sophisticated design. It’s a versatile solution that brands can make their own via customisation.  

“Consumers love locking actuators and will appreciate Maya since it is easy to use and secure for on the go. With no cap, there are no worries about replacing it, or losing it.” 

Last month, Aptar Beauty introduced its new skincare packaging solution, NeoDropper, designed to improve precision and consumer experience.
