Transparent Plastic Jar, White Lid, 500 ml

The clear plastic jar with a volume of 500 ml and a white lid is a complete set designed for packaging larger quantities of cosmetics and food. The clear body made of PET shows the colour and texture of the contents, is lightweight and does not shatter when dropped, which is an advantage over glass both for shipping and for everyday use in the bathroom. The white lid made of polypropylene has a white sealing membrane on the inside that seats against the neck and improves the seal. The set is therefore also suitable for contents that need to be protected from drying out or moisture.

Thanks to the wide neck, the jar is easily filled with a spatula or spoon and the contents are just as easily scooped out. The entire set is approved for direct contact with food and for use with cosmetic products. It can be used for body butters and scrubs as well as for home dry blends or spreads.

Why choose this set

• Clear body – both customer and manufacturer can see the colour, texture and remaining quantity of contents without opening.
• Shatter-resistant material – PET is lightweight and impact-resistant, suitable for shipping and for use in the shower or by the bath.
• Lid with membrane – the white insert in the lid improves the seal at the neck, reducing drying out of contents and moisture ingress.
• Wide neck – makes it easier to fill with thick substances, scoop out contents and clean for repeated use.
• Food and cosmetics – the jar, lid and membrane all have declared suitability for direct contact with food and cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

The 500 ml volume and wide neck make this set ideal for thick and loose-fill products where the contents are dispensed by hand or with a spatula:

• body butters and whipped butters in large family-size packaging or for salon use,
• salt and sugar scrubs, coffee scrubs and body masks,
• bath salts, fizzing powders, milk baths and loose herbal blends,
• clay and mud masks in dry and paste form,
• hair masks and conditioners with a thick consistency,
• food such as honey, dried herbs and spices, nuts, granola, home-made spreads or confectionery,
• production semi-finished materials, such as pre-weighed loose components, salts or powders for a single batch of a formula.

For thin liquids such as tonics, oils or facial waters, a bottle with a narrow neck and a suitable dispenser is more appropriate. The set with a screw-on lid seals well for normal storage and transport, but for liquid contents we recommend verifying the seal beforehand.

Nominal and total volume

For each container we state two volumes. Nominal volume is the volume for which the jar is intended for normal filling and which is stated on the label. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a margin for the lid with membrane and for the expansion of contents when the temperature changes. Fill the jar to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Otherwise the contents will push out the membrane when closing, or reach the thread, and the lid will no longer seal properly.

Good to know

Before first filling, we recommend washing the jar and lid, disinfecting with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allowing to dry completely. The membrane in the lid does not need to be removed for cleaning — simply rinse the lid and dry it.

PET is well resistant to water, vegetable oils, salts and common cosmetic raw materials. For formulas with a high proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend checking the material's behaviour with the specific formulation beforehand. Some concentrated ingredients may cloud or soften the plastic over time.

The smooth cylindrical shape labels well. After thorough washing and drying, the jar can be refilled. At end of life, the PET jar and PP lid belong in sorted plastic recycling, ideally separately.

Replacement lids with the same neck type are available in the Handymade range. For a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal and container behaviour with the specific formulation.
