Product description
Flat aluminium jar with a screw-on lid for balms, ointments, body butters, solid perfumes, scrubs and container candles. Metal blocks light from reaching the contents, does not break on impact or during shipping, and is lighter than glass of the same volume. The jar has an epoxy lining on the inside, so the contents never come into direct contact with the aluminium and do not react with it.
The silver surface works well with a custom label and with simple packaging without distinctive graphics. The packaging is suitable for use with cosmetic products and meets the requirements that apply to cosmetic packaging. The declaration of conformity is available with the product.
What the jar is suitable for
- Balms and ointments – solid and semi-solid preparations are poured into the flat jar while hot. Once set, they are easy to scoop out with a finger or spatula.
- Body butters and solid creams – the wide opening makes scooping easy even with dense consistencies that would not come out of a bottle.
- Solid perfumes and lip waxes – with smaller quantities, only part of the jar height is filled.
- Scrubs and salt blends – loose and thick mixtures are dispensed directly from the jar; the lid protects them from moisture.
- Container candles – the jar serves as a container for candles made from soy, rapeseed or coconut wax. Once burned down, it can be cleaned and refilled.
Nominal and total volume
Nominal volume is the amount the jar is designed for under normal filling conditions. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the opening and is larger. The difference forms a margin: the lid does not sit directly on the contents when screwed on, and the contents have room to expand when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Both values are listed in the product parameters.
For candles, leave a clear band below the upper rim so that melted wax does not reach the thread during burning. Balms and ointments are poured hot and settle slightly once set — allow for this when deciding the fill level.
Lid and seal
The screw-on lid has an EPE sealing insert (expanded polyethylene) on the inside that rests against the opening and keeps the contents separated from the surroundings. It seals solid and thick preparations without difficulty. For liquid oils and water-based products, verify the seal with your specific formulation, especially if the jar will be carried in a bag or sent by post. The lid is included with the packaging; no additional closure is needed.
Preparation, filling and labelling
Before first use, wash the jar and lid, wipe them with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and leave to dry completely. Residual moisture in the jar shortens the stability of anhydrous preparations. When filling hot, place the jars on a surface that can withstand heat. Aluminium heats up quickly and may be hot to the touch.
A round label suits the lid; a narrow band suits the circumference. For candles, attach the burning warning to the bottom or the lid — the side wall heats up during burning.
The jar can be reused after cleaning. Do not scratch the epoxy lining with metal tools, as it must remain intact. An empty jar belongs in sorted metal waste collection.
The jar is not suitable for a microwave oven. Melt wax or butter separately and pour the finished mass into the jar.
Frequently asked questions
Does the contents react with the aluminium in the jar?
No, the jar has an epoxy lining on the inside that separates the contents from the metal. Balms, butters, oils and waxes therefore only come into contact with this lining. The lining must remain intact, so do not clean the jar with a wire brush or sharp tools.
Can the 100 ml aluminium jar be used as a candle container?
Yes, the jar is also used as a container for container candles made from natural and paraffin waxes. Before pouring, secure a wick with a sustainer tab to the bottom, pour the wax leaving a margin below the thread, and light the candle on a surface that can withstand heat. Once burned down, clean out the remaining wax and the jar can be refilled.
Why is the total volume of the jar greater than 100 ml?
The total volume to the brim includes the space above the nominal fill level, which serves as a margin for the lid and for the contents expanding with heat. The jar is filled to the nominal volume. If filled to the brim, the lid would touch the contents and smear them onto the thread when unscrewed.
Is the jar with lid suitable for liquid oils?
Suitability depends on the seal achieved with the specific contents. The lid with an EPE insert seals solid and thick preparations well. For liquid oils and water-based products, verify the seal in advance, especially before shipping. For purely liquid oils, bottles with a dropper or pump are more suitable.
How to prepare an aluminium jar before first use?
Wash the jar and lid, disinfect with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and leave to dry thoroughly. Moisture in the packaging would transfer to an anhydrous balm or butter and shorten its stability. For larger batches, prepare all jars at once and fill them only after they have dried completely.
Does the aluminium jar protect the contents from light?
Yes, the metal is completely opaque and no light reaches the contents. It is therefore also suitable for preparations containing oils sensitive to oxidation, such as cranberry oil, rosehip oil or citrus essential oils. Opacity does not replace an antioxidant in the formulation; it only complements the protection of the contents.
