can these containers be used for lotion bars

I'm not familiar with lotion bars, personally. However, as long as they are a consistency that is firm enough to maintain a bar shape they should work just fine with these deodorant containers. I used them for homemade deodorant made from shea butter, cocoa butter, Vit E oil, baking soda and corn starch as the main ingredients. They turned out great. One tip.. tap them on the counter or stir the contents a little (maybe do both) to prevent air bubbles from getting trapped and ruining the nice look of your bars. ;) 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.

No, they are men's deodorant containers. You can find great lotion bar tubes here:http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com or here: http://www.brambleberry.com where they are called push tubes

I don't see any reason why you can't as long as there beeswax to hold it together. It is a good solid container for the homemade deodorant with beeswax that makes hard.

You sure can! Just be careful with the amount b you use! Too much can add a weird feel to lotions. Hope this helped!

I think it works best with a bar. If you're doing a cream and applying by hand, these containers aren't really necessary.

Yes! Just be careful not to puncture and take care in sealing. Yes, they would not be so useful without being reuseable.

You would have to fold them small or roll them. It is not very deep. Works great for storing shampoo, soap, spare toiletries.

These are empty containers to begin with. So long as you clean out what you put in, you should be able to reuse them. I haven't had any degradation from any of my materials put in (eo, coconut oil, beeswax and almond oil).

Yes, it's perfect for lotion! Just use a double boiler to melt it. Since the beeswax comes in very small pellets it melts super quick! Way better than a beeswax bar!

Oh, I don't know. I use it for lotion & shampoo. Try to contact the vendor, they should be able to tell you.

I would say if they are similar in size to nail polish bottles it should work. Unfortunately, I don't know what size the eye shadow containers are. It does work great for all nail polish bottle sizes.

They say you can but the lotion should be of the same viscosity as the soaps. Like soft soap if you're not familiar with the simplehuman soaps.

Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup.

I used it in some lotion bars I made..however it was too strong...I recommend using the scented body oils for potions and soaps...

I would say not. Better used for a thicker liquid ex: hand soap, shampoo, lotion etc. hope this helps.

Probably not. I would use the fruit roll up screens for those things. They do not have holes so you can dry tiny things or even fruit paste or applesauce on them.

I used them to store hand lotion for travel without issue. I found them hard to get the lotion back out of, though.

if you can stand the smell of them, they can be used in oils and lotions. They smell terrible though. I tried to post a comment on how bad the oils were but the seller took the comment down, saying it was a product review and not related to the seller. They seem to be essential oil grade; they just reek.

I cant really say for sure because "lotions" vary in consistency....I can say these do have a lot of suction power, but whether your lotion is too thick to fit easily through the opening is a question I cant really answer.
