Materials
Aluminium
Also written as aluminium bottle, metal tube, aluminium jar.
Light, opaque and infinitely recyclable. Used for tubes, tins and increasingly for refillable outers.
What it needs from a bottle
It blocks light completely and it dents rather than shatters, which makes it good for travel. Watch the internal lining with acidic or high-salt formulas, because bare aluminium reacts.
Formats that suit it
- Balms
- Sun sticks
- Refill outers
Order from a single bottle, so a first run can be a test rather than a bet on a guess.
