Clear Cosmetic Glass Jar, 25 ml, silver lid

A glass jar with a capacity of 25 ml and a silver lid is a complete packaging and closure combination designed for thicker cosmetic products that are scooped with a finger or spatula. The transparent glass does not hide the contents, so the customer can see the colour and texture of the cream, balm or mask. The shiny silver lid gives the small container an appearance that works in gift packaging as well as a sample. The set is particularly suitable for face and eye creams, balms, ointments, solid perfumes and samples, where a small amount is enough for several weeks of use.

What the set consists of

• Glass jar – transparent, with a thicker wall that holds its shape and feels stable in the hand. Glass does not react with the contents, does not absorb scents and can be washed repeatedly.
• Plastic lid with silver gloss – screw-on closure with an inner foam sealing insert that seats on the neck of the jar and reduces drying out of the contents as well as leakage when inverted.
• Inner insert made of polypropylene – a white disc that is placed on the surface of the contents under the lid after filling. It protects the product from contact with the closure, reduces air access to the surface and during transport prevents the cream from getting onto the lid.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. It is not approved for food contact.

What it is suitable for

A volume of 25 ml corresponds to the standard size of an eye cream, concentrated face cream or lip and cuticle balm. Transparent glass is an advantage for products whose colour is part of the appearance – coloured balms, clay masks, solid perfumes or cream preparations with pigment. It also works well as a sample container for a larger cream, or as a jar for trial batches during formula development, where it is visible whether the emulsion separates or changes colour.

Transparent glass, however, does not protect the contents from light. The jar is therefore intended for formulations that can tolerate light. Preparations with sensitive active ingredients (vitamin C, retinol, unstabilised essential oils) are better filled into dark glass or stored away from direct light.

What is good to know

Preparation before first use – it is advisable to wash the jar, lid and insert before use, rinse with clean water and disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. All parts must be completely dry before filling; residual water in an anhydrous balm shortens its shelf life.

Filling hot masses – balms and solid perfumes are often poured warm. Glass can withstand the temperature of melted wax, but it may crack with a sudden temperature difference. The jar should therefore not be cold and should not be placed on a cold surface. The lid and insert are fitted only after the contents have cooled and solidified.

Inner insert – it is placed only on solidified or consistent contents. It is not intended for liquid products; the jar with lid is not designed for water-based tonics or thin oils.

Labelling – a label is applied to the cylindrical wall of the jar; a round label on the top surface is suitable for the lid.

Reuse – glass can be washed even at higher temperatures and used again. The lid and insert are washed in warm water with a cleaning agent; it is not recommended to soak the foam sealing insert in the lid for extended periods. When recycling, glass goes with glass, the lid and insert with plastics.
