Plastic jar, white, 50 ml

A white plastic jar 50 ml is a wide-mouth container for thick and semi-solid products that are scooped with a finger or spatula. Suitable for face creams, body butters, balms, masks and scrubs.

The white walls conceal the contents and partially shield them from light. This is beneficial for formulations with vegetable oils and extracts whose colour changes over time. The plastic is lightweight and shatterproof, so the jar handles bathrooms, travel and postal shipping without the risk of breakage.

The packaging material is suitable for use with cosmetic products and meets the applicable regulatory requirements. The declaration is provided in the product parameters.

What the jar is suitable for

• Creams and emulsions – thicker O/W and W/O creams that would be difficult to dispense from a pump bottle.
• Anhydrous products – body and whipped butters and balms, which are filled while still liquid or pressed into the jar.
• Masks and scrubs – clay masks, sugar and salt scrubs, where the wide mouth makes scooping easier.
• Samples and smaller batches – trial batches during formulation development or smaller packaging of a finished product.

For thin liquid products such as tonics, serums and oils, a bottle with a dropper, pump or spray is more practical.

Nominal and total volume

Packaging is described with two volumes. The nominal volume is the amount the jar is intended to hold under normal filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the rim of the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the lid and for expansion of the contents with temperature changes. This allows the jar to be closed without forcing product into the thread.

What to know before filling

Before first use, wash the jar with warm water and detergent and rinse thoroughly. Then disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Residual water in the container unnecessarily burdens the preservative system of the product.

For products with a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol or other solvents, we recommend carrying out a compatibility test. Fill a jar and leave it for several weeks, checking whether the shape of the walls, the plastic surface or the scent of the contents changes. Standard creams, butters and balms with typical fragrance levels do not usually cause such issues.

Lids with the same thread diameter (stated in the parameters) and ready-made jar-and-lid combinations are available in the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal with the specific product.

The dimensions needed for label design are in the parameters. Apply the label to a dry and degreased surface. At the end of its service life, the jar is sorted as plastic packaging.
