Lip Balm Jars & Pots — Glass, 5g to 10g
Lip balm containers are small glass jars with screw lids for lip balms, lip scrubs, lip masks and solid perfumes, and RENTRASPA™ stocks them in 5 g, 9 g and 10 g. Choose clear, amber or frosted glass in 5 g and 10 g, or a 9 g black round or white square jar with a child-proof lid. Order one jar to test, or buy wholesale with no minimum.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
5g, 9g and 10g. The 5g jar is the sample, tester and PR-kit size; the 9g and 10g jars are the everyday retail pot — the size most indie brands launch on — and they suit lip scrubs, overnight lip masks and solid perfumes as well. Brands that start on a 10g pot usually add the 5g later as a trial or bundle size.
-
The size on the jar is its capacity, not the net weight you will print — that depends on the density of your formula. A wax-heavy balm and an oil-rich one fill the same pot to different weights, so fill a sample of your own formula to the shoulder, weigh it, and declare that. In use, a 10g pot is typically two to three months of daily balm; the 5g is a trial or travel size.
-
For a premium indie brand, the glass jar. It is inert, reusable and fully recyclable, and it photographs like a luxury product. Plastic twist-up tubes are cheaper and handier on the go but read as mass-market and are hard to recycle in India; metal tins conduct heat, so the balm softens in an Indian summer, and they dent. RENTRASPA is glass only, so the honest trade-off is weight in the parcel.
-
Clear shows a tinted or botanical balm and photographs cleanly; amber protects light-sensitive formulas; frosted signals luxury. Choose amber for balms built on essential oils, vitamin E or retinol, which fade under UV. Frosted glass gives a matte, fingerprint-free finish that suits slow-beauty and editorial brands. All three come in the same 5g and 10g sizes, so a range can mix them.
-
Every jar ships with its own screw lid, and a solid balm will not leak once the lid is screwed down. The 5 g and 10 g jars use a standard screw lid; the 9 g jars use a press-and-turn child-proof lid. Keep filled jars out of direct sun and hot car boots, where any balm softens. The lid top is also the natural place for a round brand label.
-
The 9g jars carry a press-and-turn glass lid that a small child cannot open — the same principle as a medicine bottle. Brands choose it for medicated or active balms and for export markets that require it. It is harder to open by design, so if easy opening matters more to your customers, take the 5g or 10g jar with the standard screw lid instead.
-
They ship straight from the factory cartons, so wash and sterilise jars and lids before filling — warm water and mild detergent, rinse, a 70% isopropyl-alcohol rinse or hot water, then air-dry fully. Yes, molten balm can be poured straight in: fill room-temperature jars (never cold ones, to avoid thermal shock), leave them uncapped and upright until fully set, then cap.
-
No: lip balm jars have no minimum order, so you can start with a single jar. Fill one with your own balm to check the set, the lid fit and your label, then order launch quantities at the stepped prices shown on each product page. Printed, painted or frosted jars are made to order from 1,000 pieces; for large runs, WhatsApp +91 75500 42423. Every order comes with a GST invoice.
-
Yes — most brands label the lid top and the base, and from 1,000 pieces the glass can be printed, hot-foil stamped, frosted or painted to order. A 5g or 10g jar has a small side wall, so a round lid label with the logo and a base label with the ingredients is the layout that works; send your artwork on WhatsApp and we will say what fits the size you have chosen.
