Choosing jars
Jars suit thick products such as creams, balms, scrubs, and hair masks. Look at the opening first. A wide mouth makes it easier to scoop product and clean the inside. Check that the lid seals well, since a loose fit lets air in and can dry out a formula faster.
Next, consider material and size. Glass feels sturdy and resists odors, while plastic is lighter and less likely to break when traveling. Choose a capacity you can finish within a few months so the contents do not sit for long. For thin, pourable liquids, a dropper bottle or squeeze bottle may be easier to control than a jar.
Using your jars
Take product out with a clean, dry spoon or spatula rather than your fingers. This keeps water and bacteria out of the container and helps the contents last longer. Wipe the rim before closing the lid, and store jars upright in a cool spot away from direct sun. Label each jar with the day you filled it so you know how old the contents are.
Questions about jars
Can I put any product in a jar?
Jars work best for thick textures. Thin liquids can leak past a lid or be hard to scoop, so they are usually better in bottles with pumps or droppers.
How do I clean a jar before refilling it?
Wash it with warm water and mild soap, rinse well, and let it dry completely before adding new product. Leftover moisture can shorten how long the contents stay fresh.
