Thick Amber Glass Jar, Gold Lid & Gasket, 50 ml

A glass jar made of amber glass with a gold lid and inner liner is a complete, ready-to-use container for creams, balms and masks in a volume of 50 ml. Amber glass reduces light transmission, making it suitable for contents with vegetable oils, butters and active ingredients that lose their effectiveness faster when exposed to light. All three components of the set are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics; the declaration of conformity is available with the product.

The 50 ml volume corresponds to the standard packaging for face cream, eye cream, lip balm or ointment in a smaller size. It is equally suited for body butter or a trial size of face scrub, deodorant cream or a mask that lasts several weeks. The wide neck makes it easy to fill with a spatula and to scoop out contents with a finger.

What the set consists of

• Glass jar, amber, 50 ml – body made of amber glass with a wide neck and thread. Glass does not react with oils or common cosmetic ingredients and can be washed repeatedly.
• Gold plastic lid – screw-on lid made of ABS plastic with an EPE sealing layer that seats against the jar neck when tightened. The gold colour gives the packaging the appearance of a finished product without further customisation.
• Inner liner – a thin white polypropylene disc placed directly on the surface of the contents under the lid. During transport it catches any content that would otherwise reach the lid, and until the first opening it limits air access to the surface of the cream.

The set is matched so that the liner and lid fit this jar. The jar, lid and liner are also available individually in the Handymade range. When combining with a different closure of the same neck type, we recommend verifying the seal and the behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.

Volume and filling

Nominal volume of 50 ml is the volume for which the jar is intended during standard filling. Total capacity to the rim is the physical volume up to the neck and is listed in the parameters. The difference between them provides headspace for the liner and lid and for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the rim. With creams and butters, level the surface after filling so that the liner seats evenly and does not push the contents to the edge.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash the jar, lid and liner, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Moisture in the jar shortens the stability of both aqueous and anhydrous products.
• Glass and heat – do not pour a hot balm into a cold jar. Let the contents cool slightly to the temperature at which they still pour, or warm the jar beforehand to prevent the glass from experiencing thermal shock.
• Plastic and essential oils – the polypropylene liner tolerates standard cosmetic contents. For formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils or with solvents, we recommend verifying how the lid and liner behave with the specific contents.
• Reuse – glass can be refilled repeatedly. Before the next filling, check that the sealing layer of the lid is not damaged and that the liner is not bent.
• Recycling – glass goes in the glass bin, lid and liner in plastics. Separate the components before disposal.

The set is intended for cosmetic products. It is not declared suitable for contact with food.
