Glass is generally a very stable packaging material that also tolerates formulations with a higher proportion of oils, butters or waxes very well. This jar is therefore suitable for packaging richer creams, body butters, balms and similar preparations. For new formulations, however, we always recommend making a trial fill and a short stress test to verify the behaviour of the product over time.

The jar can be reused provided that proper hygiene principles are followed. Before each new filling, the container must be thoroughly cleaned, any residues of the original product must be removed, and it must then be disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or 96% plant-based ethanol. After disinfection, allow the packaging to dry completely at room temperature and only then refill it.

First, mechanically remove any product residues using a spatula or paper towel. Then wash the jar in warm water with a suitable cleaning agent that is compatible with your production (without strong fragrance and colourants, if required). After thoroughly rinsing with clean water, dry the container and finally disinfect it with alcohol (e.g. IPA or ethanol). Allow the disinfectant solution to evaporate and store the jar closed until it is ready for the next filling.

If you do not plan to reuse the jar, we recommend placing it in the appropriate separate collection stream according to the material specified in the product specifications. The glass vessel usually belongs in the glass container, and the closure, depending on its material, into the relevant sorted waste stream (plastic or another material, if indicated for the product). Before disposal, it is advisable to empty the packaging of any product residues and at least roughly rinse it, in order to reduce the load on the collection system and make recycling more efficient.

When selecting a suitable bottle, jar or pot, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging material category. After clicking on the relevant category, you will find the filter at the top of the page, where you can refine your selection according to parameters such as neck finish, size, colour and material. In this way, you can quickly display only those containers that meet your technical and design requirements.

Filled jars should be stored tightly closed, in a dry place, at a stable room temperature and away from direct sunlight or sources of heat. Avoid storage in environments with high humidity or with sudden temperature fluctuations. Dark glass already helps to protect the contents from light, but for sensitive formulations it may be advisable to store the jars in a closed cabinet or box to further improve product stability.
