15ml Cardboard Cosmetic Pot | Plastic-Free & Compostable | Nutley's

Yes, it is completely plastic-free. The pot is made from recycled cardboard with a plant-based wax lining and uses plant-based glues. It is also certified home compostable, meaning it will break down in your own compost bin under the right conditions.

This means cosmetics made with animal fats like beef tallow or lanolin can degrade the plant-based wax lining. The pot is perfect for bases like shea butter, coconut oil, or beeswax. We recommend checking your recipe's ingredients to ensure compatibility.

The pot is designed to be water and oil resistant for typical solid balms and salves. It is not intended for runny liquids, but it will securely hold your homemade lip balms. For best results, store your filled pot in a cool, dry place.

Absolutely, the pot is reusable. For cleaning, we recommend gently wiping it with a damp cloth; please do not submerge it in water or use harsh detergents. Allow it to dry thoroughly before refilling to maintain its integrity.

This is the European safety regulation for cosmetic products. Our compliance certifies that the pot's materials are safe for direct, prolonged contact with cosmetics. This ensures the packaging won't contaminate or react with your creations.

Yes, 15ml is the total capacity when filled to the very top. For practical use, we recommend leaving a small headspace. Please note there can be a slight 10ml-15ml capacity variant due to the handmade nature of the cardboard.

In an active home compost bin with good moisture, oxygen, and microbial activity, the pot will break down in several months. Both the recycled cardboard and the plant-based wax lining are designed to compost under these conditions.

The price reflects our commitment to sustainable materials like recycled cardboard and plant-based wax, and ethical production. This is a niche, plastic-free product with certifications, representing an investment in truly compostable, zero-waste packaging.
