The versatility of the aluminium tin has made it one of the favoured packaging solutions among natural cosmetics makers. Any product can be stored in it, from small-format lip balm to larger volumes of cream concentrate — and it is even suitable for pouring candles and aromatherapy wax tealights. This pack of 50 is designed for small business owners who fill solid or semi-solid cosmetics in series as part of their own brand or artisan product line.
What is included in the 50-piece tin set
50 aluminium tins with screw lids. The typical size is 30 mm tall, 60 mm in diameter (approximately 50 ml capacity), with other sizes available under other SKUs in the range. Net weight of a single tin + lid is 6 g, and the total package gross weight is 0.3 kg. The large quantity offers an advantage in per-unit cost and allows for building a cohesive, matching series.
Aluminium and UV protection
Aluminium is chemically inert, BPA-free, and contains no plasticisers. Because the material is non-toxic, the tin is suitable not only for cosmetics but also for storing dried foods and toiletries. The metal itself is an effective UV blocker — light-sensitive ingredients (essential oils, antioxidants, vitamins A and E) retain their activity significantly longer in an aluminium tin. The tin is fully recyclable, an important consideration for natural cosmetics customers.
Screw lid details
The screw lid features an internal sealing gasket and closes completely with just a few turns. The tight seal provides a state close to airtight, which preserves solid or semi-solid cosmetics well. The outer surface of the lid is smooth, ideal for applying own-brand labels or engraving. Aluminium does not rust and imparts no off-flavour to the contents.
Typical areas of use
- Lip balm, nail care cream, hand cream
- Solid cosmetics: shampoo bar, deodorant bar, conditioner bar
- Cream concentrate, body butter, balm
- Pouring aromatherapy wax candles or tealights
- Small-format dried herb blends, spices, salts
Cleaning and storage
Before first use, wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. With prolonged wet storage, the aluminium surface may develop a matte grey tone — this does not affect the function of the tin, only its appearance. Strongly acidic contents (high vitamin C concentrate, fruit acids) may attack aluminium over the long term, so glass or plastic is a better choice for such products. Refillability is practically unlimited with proper cleaning.
