I'm experimenting with making my own moisturizers and balms. Would these jars be good for storing skin creams and lip balms?

Yes they'll be great for the creams and balms. I use some of the jars for same purposes and never have a leakage etc. problem. The lid is wide so it's easy to use too!

I have put hot olive oil and beeswax mixtures in them. I've also reheated them in the microwave to add essential oils. These are sturdy and attractive little jars. I intend to order more.

Yes, to my knowledge, for best - keeping. That is its only drawback cuz of the room there that it takes up. I use a separate four - ounce, pour - container with periodic aliquots out of the refrigerated gallon; this wee container I, too, keep in the refrigerator. All in all, this refrigeration - bit is a hassel; but for facial moisturizing, why, there for me is nothing better for the long - term cost ---- so for me the refrigeration of it is worth those extra steps / that extra effort. Incidentally, after shampooing, I am one who uses this gel as a leave - in hair conditioner for color - treated hair as well. Soft, lustrous, reparative - even !

You can use small, Bell Brand, glass canning jars. They are a perfect fit, and I can fit 7 into my yogurt maker.

Hey there, what are great storage idea for your lipstick :) The bead tubes that you can store in this tower are about the size of a single chapstick, or the size of two chapsticks put together ( one on top of each other )Hope this helps, Alice

I used mine to store salt and sugar scrubs that had EOs and Coconut Oil in them. We use the scrubs too fast for me to tell you about long term storage but I had one for 3 months and nothing happened to the glass of the jar nor the coated underside of the metal lid. Hope this helped!

I used it as a moisturizer in order to prevent wrinkles that I don't have yet and hope to never get. I never used face lift in a jar so I don't know.

Yes. I had a couple of those jars for years and was thrilled to find them on amazon. I purchased 2 more. I use them for homemade cookies. They keep the cookies fresher longer than conventional cookie jars. They are also grat for crackers and other dry goods.

Yes, and they look nice on the jar, however, even though it covers, it does not seal at 100%. There is leakage if youre travelling with them.

If you are planning to use the spice jars to hold the essential oils, I would think you might run into some trouble. The jar included in the set have plastic lids and are definitely not air tight (many have mentioned that the more finely grated spices spill out of the lid) so you could not only have the mess of the oil spilling out, but the smells would presumably escape as well. But if you are planning to leave the oils in their original jars and just use the bamboo case to store them, that might work (if the dimensions are right). Hope that helps.

I would say "no". I have used these for a homemade solid deodorant. While the mixture was still liquid (waiting to solidify), the coconut oil component tended to leak out the bottom. I had to refrigerate them to prevent this. However, I imagine it would depend on the ingredients and the mixture's consistency.

Yes. And to reuse them, the standard lids can be bought here (the jars are from Italy). They seal perfectly; no problems at all. They are perfect for canning; I was glad they were 10 oz rather than 8 oz as it seemed a bit more substantial as a gift. I'm saving these jars for us, though, they are really pretty and people rarely return jars these days....

I think it would work! There's enough room in there for a quart jar, so I'd take your 1/2 pts - stack them on top of each other and see how that compares to the height of a quart jar. I'd suggest using some sort of "spacer" between the jars - just seems like a good idea. And I would not worry about the temperature - everything in the canner will be the same temp - one it starts to steam and the gauge says you are ready!

I used these for lotion and were good so I assume they would work for oils.

I've only put M&M;'s in the jars, not liquids. Since the lids are corkboard, oils and liquids would probably soak through. I don't think the lids would be strong enough.

These white jars are great for making your own facial products. My jars are 2 1/2" high and 7 1/2" diameter, which is around the total surface of the jar.

I did not try these with liquids but I would not recommend it for storing. If you wanted to put some oils in a capsule just before swallowing these should be fine. I don't believe any two part capsule like this would seal well enough for storing liquid.
