When it comes to tincture and elixir-making, most forget that packaging is equally as important as the formulation. After all, without protection, most liquids, and especially herbal tinctures, will degrade rapidly over time, losing precious nutrient value. This is even the case with "high-quality" glass like amber.
This is why we extract ALL of our formulations and house many of our tinctures in Biophotonic Miron Violet Glass. This glass isn’t just a container—it’s an essential tool for preserving potency, safeguarding purity, and even extending the life of our creations.
Violet Glass Across Time
The use of violet glass as a guardian for precious substances dates back thousands of years. In Ancient Egypt, rare oils, healing balms, and plant essences were stored in vessels of this deep, protective hue. Legends tell of Cleopatra herself applying aloe vera daily—kept not in ordinary jars, but in violet glass, to safeguard its vitality. In Eastern philosophy, violet embodies balance: the union of blue and red, Yin and Yang. Yin is the quiet, preserving force; Yang is the radiant, expansive energy of the sun. Together they mirror the role of Miron Violet Glass—bridging stillness and vitality, science and beauty—to preserve nature’s gifts in their most potent form.
The Science Behind Violet Glass
To understand why we use Violet Glass, consider how traditional glass responds to light: clear, amber, or green glass permit the full spectrum—visible, ultraviolet, and infrared—into the jar. That exposure can lead to chemical breakdown, oxidation, and the loss of aroma, color, and active compounds. Conversely, black glass blocks nearly all light—including wavelengths that benefit the product.
Miron Violet Glass strikes an optimal balance: it selectively filters out harmful visible light but allows beneficial ultraviolet A (UVA), violet, and infrared frequencies to reach the contents. This selective filtration enhances preservation without sacrificing vital elements.
The Role of Biophotons and ENERLAB’s Research
Biophotons—ultra-weak light emissions emitted by living cells—represent a product’s energetic integrity. ENERLAB, a respected French laboratory, conducted controlled studies on products stored in different packaging. After 74 days under sunlight, samples kept in transparent or plastic containers degraded notably, while those in Violet Glass not only maintained their quality but even increased biophoton emissions by 10 to 100%.
In short: Violet Glass preserves—and may even enhance—the vibrancy of natural, living formulations.
Real-World Tests: Herbs, Tomatoes, and More
Multiple comparative storage tests underscore the effectiveness of Violet Glass:
-
Chives stored in clear or brown glass became dry, gray, and lost aroma. Those in Violet Glass stayed green and fragrant.
-
Cherry tomatoes stored for months under room temperature and light spoiled noticeably in conventional glass, but showed no visible deterioration inside Violet Glass.
From olive oil and honey to hydrosols and essential oils—products stored in Violet Glass show consistently better protection against oxidation and chemical degradation.
The Energetic Qualities of Violet
Beyond its scientific performance, violet carries a long history of symbolic and energetic significance. Across cultures, it has been associated with transformation, intuition, and higher states of awareness. In color theory and chromotherapy, violet is said to calm the mind, encourage clarity, and support a sense of balance. Many see it as the bridge between the physical and the subtle—uniting the stability of blue with the vitality of red. While our commitment to Miron Violet Glass is rooted in its proven preservation qualities, the color itself resonates with the spirit of what we create: alchemical mushroom formulations that nourish both body and mind across material and spiritual planes.
