Why are Lifefactory bottles more expensive than some other glass bottles on the market?
Our expertly-designed silicone sleeve is the hallmark of our bottles: it not only gives them their distinctive look, but it also improves their gripability and helps prevent breakage. Silicone is much more expensive to manufacture than plastic – particularly the thick, high-grade silicone that we employ – which is the primary reason our bottles cost more than some of our competitors’. Additionally, we use top quality, FDA-approved plastic for our caps and rings, and our nipples are medical grade silicone; both of these factors affect product pricing. A final contributor to the price of Lifefactory bottles is our commitment to rigorous product testing, which ensures safety, durability and minimal environmental impact.
