8.5ml Shallow Kraft Lip Balm 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 plant-based glues, containing no plastic coating. It is designed to be home-compostable, meaning it will break down in your home compost bin.

While the pot is water and oil resistant, it is not airtight or leak-proof. We recommend it only for solid or semi-solid products like lip balms and salves. For travel, we caution against using it with thin liquids to prevent potential spills.

The shallow 1.4cm design makes it easy to scoop out every bit of product with your finger. It holds 8.5ml of product and has a 4cm diameter, offering a similar capacity to a standard lip balm tin but with much easier access.

Yes, the materials are food-safe and the pot complies with (EC) No 1223/2009 cosmetic regulations. While designed for cosmetics, the food-safe certification means you can use it for dry snacks or similar items with proper cleaning.

Gently wipe the interior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Please avoid soaking it, using harsh soaps, or putting it in a dishwasher, as this can compromise the integrity of the cardboard and the plant-based wax lining.

The price reflects our sustainable materials like recycled cardboard and plant-based components, along with ethical manufacturing. You're investing in a fully home-compostable, plastic-free container designed specifically for handmade products.

We recommend using paper labels with a glue stick or other plant-based glue. Be cautious, as moisture from wet-glue labels or oils from adhesive tapes can stain or damage the natural kraft cardboard surface.

The lid fits snugly, but it is not airtight. For travel in a bag, we recommend placing the pot inside a small zip bag or dedicated pouch to prevent the lid from being dislodged and to keep dust and debris out.
