Azlok's Lip Gloss Container (NSA) is a small, transparent 5 ml plastic tube with a twist-open lid, made for storing homemade lip gloss, lightweight oil blends and other small cosmetic products. It is empty when you buy it, so you fill it with your own recipe. At ₹149 with generous buy-one-get-one style packs, it is a handy choice for hobbyists and small beauty businesses.
What is the Lip Gloss Container?
This is a hard plastic container with a 5 ml capacity and an integrated lid that opens when you twist it. The clear body lets you see the colour and level of whatever you fill inside, which is useful when you are making tinted glosses or checking how much product is left. Because it is made from food-grade plastic, it can hold more than just gloss.
People typically use it for:
- Homemade lip gloss and lip oils
- Small amounts of essential or carrier oil blends for travel
- Roll-on style perfumes and fragrance oils (with a suitable applicator)
- Edible oils, essences and flavourings needed in tiny quantities
- Sample sizes for a handmade cosmetics range
How to fill and use it
Filling a 5 ml container is simple, but a little care keeps things neat and hygienic.
- Clean first. Wash the container and lid with warm water and mild soap, then let them dry completely. Any moisture left inside can spoil oil-based products.
- Prepare your gloss. A basic homemade gloss can be made from a carrier oil, a little beeswax or candelilla wax for hold, and a touch of mica or a cosmetic-safe colour. Melt gently and mix well.
- Use a dropper or small funnel. While the mixture is still liquid, transfer it into the tube. This avoids spills on the threads, which can stop the lid sealing properly.
- Leave a small gap. Do not overfill. Leave a few millimetres at the top so the lid closes cleanly.
- Let it set, then cap. If you have used wax, allow the gloss to cool before twisting the lid shut.
For essential oils or perfume blends, dilute your essential oil in a carrier oil first. Undiluted essential oils are strong and are not meant to sit directly on the skin or lips.
Tips and safety notes
- Label everything. If you store edible essences and cosmetic blends in the same batch of containers, clear labels prevent mix-ups.
- Patch-test new gloss. Before wearing a homemade lip product, dab a little on the inside of your wrist and wait a day to check for irritation.
- Keep away from children. Small containers and cosmetic ingredients should be stored out of reach.
- Do not ingest oil blends. Only food-grade edible contents are safe to taste; essential oil and fragrance blends are for external use only.
- Mind the plastic. Being plastic, the container is best kept away from very hot liquids and direct heat, which can warp it.
Buying and storage
Azlok offers this container in value packs such as Buy 2 Get 2 Free, Buy 4 Get 4 Free, Buy 10 Get 10 Free and Buy 20 Get 20 Free, so it suits both a one-off DIY project and a small production run. The larger packs work well if you are making gifts, samples or selling handmade gloss.
Store the empty containers in a cool, dry place before use. Once filled, keep oil-based products away from direct sunlight and heat to help them last longer. Made in India, these tubes are a straightforward, reusable option for anyone experimenting with lip care and small-batch cosmetics.
FAQ
How much does the lip gloss container hold?
Each container has a 5 ml capacity, which is a standard travel and sample size for lip gloss and small oil blends.
Is the plastic safe for food or edible oils?
Yes, it is described as food-grade plastic, so it can hold edible oils, essences and flavourings in small amounts. Always clean and dry it before filling.
Can I use it for essential oils?
You can use it for diluted essential oil or carrier oil blends. Do not store undiluted essential oils meant for direct skin contact, and never ingest cosmetic blends.
How does the lid work?
The lid is integrated with the container and opens when twisted, giving a simple seal without a separate cap to lose.
Which pack size should I choose?
For a single project, the smaller Buy 2 Get 2 Free pack is enough. If you are making gifts, samples or selling gloss, the larger packs offer better value per piece.
