Glass Jars with Lids

These glass jars with lids show up ready to fill. Every jar comes with its black screw-top lid already paired, packed 24 to a box, in five small sizes from 0.5 oz to 4 oz. So if you've been hunting for small glass jars with lids that look good on a shelf and don't need a separate closure order, you're in the right place. They're straight-sided, wide-mouthed, and sized for what small brands actually make: face creams, salves, lip scrubs, candles, samples and spice blends.

Start with a finish. We carry multiple color finishes, including amber, clear, black, blue, green and frosted. Then pick your size: 0.5 oz for samples and lip balms, 1 oz for eye creams and travel minis, 1.7 oz for the classic 50 ml face cream jar, 2 oz for salves and body butters, and 4 oz for scrubs and small candles.

Small Glass Jars with Lids for Skincare and Cosmetics

This is where these jars earn their keep. A 1.7 oz jar holds 50 ml, which is the size most shoppers expect a face cream to come in. Put your moisturizer in one and it already looks like it belongs on a store shelf. The 0.5 oz jar holds about 15 ml. That's the trial-kit size beauty brands hand out at markets, tuck into subscription boxes, or send to retailers who want to test before they commit.

The wide mouth matters more than people think. Thick balms and whipped body butters don't pour, so you're scooping and spooning them in. A narrow neck turns a 20-minute fill into an hour of scraping. Customers get the same benefit on the other end, because a finger or a spatula reaches the bottom easily and nothing goes to waste.

And the straight sides? They give you a flat, even surface for a wraparound label. No wrinkles at the shoulder, no peeling edges after a week in a steamy bathroom.

Glass Jars with Lids for Candles, Gifts and Small-Batch Food

These jars are candle-safe glass, so the 2 oz and 4 oz sizes work well for travel candles, sample scents and party favors. Pour, let the wax set, screw on the lid, and the fragrance stays put until your customer opens it. Frosted and amber finishes soften the flame nicely. Clear glass shows off colored wax.

They're also handy for small-batch food packaging: a spice rub, a flaky sea salt, a honey tasting set, loose-leaf tea samples. Glass is non-porous, so it won't hold onto last month's garlic or pass odors along. Just confirm the jar and lid suit your specific product before you scale up (more on that in the FAQ below).

How to Choose the Right Size

Most people guess too big. Here's a quick rule of thumb based on how each size actually gets used:

• 0.5 oz (about 15 ml): samples, lip balms, eye-area products, gift-set fillers
• 1 oz (about 30 ml): eye creams, serum balms, travel sizes, a single-use spice gift
• 1.7 oz (about 50 ml): the standard face cream size, full retail moisturizers
• 2 oz (about 60 ml): salves, healing balms, small body butters, mini candles
• 4 oz (about 120 ml): body scrubs, whipped butters, travel candles, bath salts

Not sure? Launch with two sizes. A 0.5 oz sample paired with a full-size 1.7 oz or 2 oz jar lets customers try before they buy, and they'll recognize your packaging when they come back for the big one.

Why Glass Beats Plastic for Small-Batch Products

Glass is chemically inert. It doesn't leach into what you put in it, and essential oils, acids and actives won't eat into it the way they can with some plastics. That's a big deal for natural skincare, where a single ingredient like tea tree or citrus oil can cloud or soften a cheap plastic jar within weeks.

Color does real work here too. Amber glass filters out a large share of UV light, which helps protect light-sensitive oils, vitamin C serums and herbal infusions. Our Black UV finish goes further, letting very little light through, which makes it the go-to for the most sensitive formulas. Clear glass is the pick when the product itself is the selling point, like a whipped butter with a swirl of color or a candle with dried flowers set into the wax.

Glass also feels heavier in the hand. Shoppers read that weight as quality, which is one reason premium skincare almost never ships in thin plastic. And once your customer is done, the jar can be washed and reused, or recycled.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Jars with Lids

What sizes and colors do these glass jars with lids come in?
Five sizes: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 1.7 oz, 2 oz and 4 oz. Each size comes in multiple color finishes, currently amber, clear, blue, green, Black UV, and frosted versions of amber, clear and black. Every jar is straight-sided with a wide mouth.

Do the jars come with lids?
Yes. Every jar ships with a matching black screw-top lid, so there's nothing extra to order. If you'd rather choose your own closure, you can buy glass jars and jar lids separately and mix and match.

How many jars come in a pack?
Every listing is a 24-pack, and one pack is all you need to order. Want a couple of sizes or colors at once? Use Build Your Bundle to put together your own combination.

Are these jars safe for food or skincare?
Glass is non-porous and won't react with most foods, oils or cosmetic ingredients. That said, every formula is different, especially acidic, oily or alcohol-heavy products that touch the lid. Please verify compatibility for your specific application before you scale up. Ordering samples first is the easiest way to test.

Can I use them for candles?
Yes, the glass is candle-safe. The 2 oz and 4 oz sizes are the best fit for candles. As with any new vessel, run a test burn with your wax and wick before you pour a full batch, and burn with the lid off.

Can I add my own branding?
Absolutely. The straight sides take a wraparound label cleanly. We offer custom labels, plus custom printing if you want your logo printed straight onto the glass.

How fast do orders ship?
Orders ship within the USA and typically arrive in 3–5 business days. And our satisfaction guarantee has you covered if anything arrives less than right.
