Homemade cosmetics: the advantages of DIY

Choosing homemade cosmetics means having complete control over the ingredients in your products. Unlike conventional and industrial cosmetics, DIY (Do It Yourself) products are free from potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, and silicones. You can customize your skincare products to suit your specific needs and preferences, while reducing your environmental footprint by minimizing packaging and using natural, eco-friendly ingredients. What's more, creating your own cosmetics is a fun and creative activity that can save you money in the long run.


Different types of jars

Jars for homemade cosmetics come in several types depending on the material, capacity, and color, each offering specific advantages.

Materials

  • Glass: Strong and non-reactive, ideal for storing sensitive products and preventing contamination. Glass is also environmentally friendly as it is recyclable.

  • Recycled PET: Lightweight and durable, perfect for travel. This material is also environmentally friendly.

  • PP (Polypropylene): Durable and insulating, excellent for products requiring good preservation.

Capacities

  • 100ml: Ideal for carry-on luggage, complying with airline regulations. This size is also convenient for trying out new products or for small quantities of specific skincare products.

  • Other sizes: Available to suit different needs, from small jars for samples to larger ones for frequent preparations.

Colors

  • Amber: Protects against UV rays, extending the shelf life of light-sensitive products such as essential oils and serums.

  • Blue: Offers similar protection from light, with an attractive aesthetic appearance.

  • Transparent: Allows easy viewing of contents and remaining product level, convenient for everyday use.

  • Other colors: Variety of colors available for aesthetic and functional customization, making it easy to identify products.

By choosing the right type of jar, you can optimize the preservation of your homemade cosmetics while enjoying their specific benefits.


Tips for using and storing cosmetics in jars

To ensure the quality and effectiveness of your homemade cosmetics, it is crucial to store them properly. Here are a few tips:

  • Cleanliness: Make sure your jars are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before filling them. You can use 70% alcohol for this.
