Empty Cosmetic Containers: Jars, Bottles & Dispensers

Empty cosmetic containers are used by beauty professionals to store, dispense, mix, and travel with beauty products in a controlled, hygienic format. This collection covers the full range of professional-grade empty jars and bottles: plastic and glass jars, spray bottles, pump and dispenser bottles, pipette and dropper bottles, foaming pump bottles, vacuum bottles, flip-top and disc-top bottles, glass mixing cups, and travel sets. All products are unbranded, general-purpose containers suited to a wide range of professional and personal beauty applications.

Products are suited to salon owners, nail technicians, brow artists, lash technicians, estheticians, and makeup professionals who need to portion, store, or dispense products at the workstation, prepare custom blends, or provide clients with travel-size refills. The collection covers sizes from 3 ml to 450 ml across plastic, glass, and aluminum materials.

Types of Empty Cosmetic Containers

The collection is organized by container type and closure mechanism. Each format is suited to a different product consistency, dispensing method, and professional use case.

Jars

Jars are wide-mouth containers suited to thick creams, pomades, waxes, henna powder, and other products that require a spatula or finger for application. The collection includes jars in plastic, glass, and aluminum, across a range of sizes and finishes.

• Plastic jars — available in white, black, pink, purple, turquoise, and translucent finishes, in sizes from 5 ml to 250 ml. Options include standard lids, membranes (for hygiene and product protection), double lids (for storage), and a powder jar with a sifter cap (30 ml). Matte and glossy finishes are available in black and white.
• Aluminum jars — silver (10 ml, 15 ml, 200 ml) and black (15 ml). Aluminum jars are suited to products where a metal container is preferred, such as waxes, balms, or specialty formulations.
• Glass jars — available in glossy and matte finishes with black lids (15–50 ml), frosted glass with silver lid (15–30 ml), brown glass with black lid and membrane (15–50 ml), a glass jar with silicone seal (120 ml), and a glass jar with silver lid matte (30 ml). Glass jars are suited to products where material compatibility with glass is preferred.
• Shaped and specialty jars — shaped plastic glossy white jars (30 ml and 50 ml) for retail or gift packaging. A jar with pump (100 ml and 150 ml blue) for thicker products that benefit from pump dispensing.
• Glass mixing cups — glass cups for mixing dye and henna, available in colored glass (blue, green, red), chameleon glass (standard, hexagonal, square), and heart-shaped glass with lid. These are used at the workstation for mixing tinting and henna products before application.

Plastic jars with membranes are a practical choice for products that need to be protected from air exposure between uses. Glass jars are suited to products where plastic compatibility is a concern. Aluminum jars are suited to waxes and balms.

Bottles

Bottles are suited to liquid and semi-liquid products including toners, serums, oils, shampoos, sanitizers, and spray solutions. The collection includes several closure types, each suited to a different dispensing method.

• Spray and trigger bottles — plastic spray bottles in transparent, white, brown, green, black, and matte finishes, with spray nozzles or trigger pumps, in sizes from 100 ml to 250 ml. Suited to water, toners, sanitizers, and spray solutions used at the workstation.
• Pump and dispenser bottles — plastic bottles with pump or lotion dispenser closures, in transparent, white, black, brown, and green finishes, in sizes from 15 ml to 450 ml. Square and round formats are available. Suited to shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and liquid products dispensed in controlled amounts.
• Foaming pump bottles — transparent (50 ml, 80 ml, 150 ml), black (150 ml), and a brush-applicator foaming bottle (150 ml). Foaming pump bottles are suited to liquid cleansers and shampoos that are dispensed as foam.
• Pipette and dropper bottles — glass pipette bottles in brown (3–100 ml), transparent (10–100 ml), frosted (15–100 ml), blue (15–30 ml), black (15 ml), and matte white (30–100 ml). Plastic eyebrow bottles with brush applicator (10 ml, transparent and black). Pipette bottles are suited to serums, oils, and liquid products dispensed drop by drop.
• Vacuum bottles — transparent plastic vacuum bottles (15 ml and 50 ml) with an airless pump mechanism. Suited to serums and creams where minimizing air exposure is a priority.
• Flip-top and disc-top bottles — matte plastic flip-top (100 ml), transparent with gold disc-top (100 ml), green with gold disc-top (100 ml), white square with gold disc-top (125 ml), and a sanitizer flip-top (50 ml). Suited to products dispensed in controlled amounts without a pump.
• Travel sets — multi-piece travel bottle sets in pink, violet, green, and white, each including bottles and jars for portioning products into travel-size containers. Suited to mobile technicians or for providing clients with take-home product samples.

Spray bottles suit water-based solutions and toners. Pump bottles suit shampoos and lotions. Pipette bottles suit serums and oils. Foaming bottles suit liquid cleansers. Vacuum bottles suit products sensitive to air exposure.

How to Choose Empty Cosmetic Containers

Selecting the right container depends on the product being stored, the dispensing method needed, and the material compatibility requirements.

• Product consistency — thick creams, pomades, and waxes suit wide-mouth jars. Liquids and serums suit bottles with pumps, sprays, or pipettes. Foaming cleansers suit foaming pump bottles. Powders suit jars with sifter caps.
• Dispensing method — spray nozzles suit water-based solutions applied at a distance. Pump dispensers suit controlled-dose dispensing of liquids and lotions. Pipettes suit precise drop-by-drop dispensing. Flip-top and disc-top closures suit products used frequently at the workstation.
• Material — glass containers are suited to products where plastic compatibility is a concern, such as essential oils and certain chemical formulations. Plastic containers are lightweight and suited to general use. Aluminum jars are suited to waxes and balms. Vacuum bottles minimize air exposure for sensitive formulations.
• Size — small sizes (3–15 ml) suit single-service use, samples, or travel. Medium sizes (20–50 ml) suit regular workstation use. Larger sizes (100–450 ml) suit high-volume salon dispensing or bulk storage.
• Color — black, white, and frosted finishes suit professional salon aesthetics. Colored options (pink, purple, turquoise, blue, green, brown) suit retail packaging or client gift sets. Chameleon and heart-shaped glass cups suit decorative workstation use.

For a complete professional container setup, stocking a selection of spray bottles for workstation solutions, pump bottles for shampoos and lotions, pipette bottles for serums and oils, and small jars for creams and pomades covers the core dispensing needs of most beauty service workflows.

How to Use Empty Cosmetic Containers

Empty containers are filled with the product to be stored or dispensed, then labeled clearly with the product name and date of filling. For professional use, containers should be cleaned and sanitized before refilling. Glass mixing cups are used at the workstation to mix dye, henna, or tint immediately before application — they are not intended for long-term storage. Travel sets are filled with portions of the technician's or client's regular products for mobile or travel use. Vacuum bottles are filled from the bottom or top depending on the design — follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific container.

What Else Professionals May Need

Empty containers are used alongside the products being stored or dispensed. Professionals who stock empty jars and bottles typically also use the following.

• Labels and label makers — for identifying the contents, concentration, and date of filling on each container
• Spatulas and mixing sticks — for portioning thick products into jars and for mixing in glass cups
• Funnels — for transferring liquids into narrow-neck bottles without spillage
• Measuring pipettes and syringes — for accurately measuring and transferring liquid products; available in the Accessories for lash and brow dyeing collection
• Sanitizing solution — for cleaning and disinfecting reusable containers between uses

Measuring pipettes and complementary accessories are available in the Accessories collection at Beauty Hunter.
