At Nezza Naturals, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do—from our ingredients to our packaging. That’s why we love when customers find ways to reuse and repurpose their amber glass jars rather than tossing them in the recycling bin.

Our 15ml and 60ml jars are made with durable amber glass, designed to protect plant-based ingredients from light and maintain product freshness. And once your face cream or body butter is finished? These little jars can live on with a whole new purpose.

Here are 10 simple, beautiful, and eco-friendly ways to give your Nezza jars a second life:

1. DIY Lip Balm or Salve Containers

Perfect size for homemade lip balms, healing salves, or a little coconut oil for dry patches on the go.

2. Travel-Size Skincare

Going on a trip? Refill your small amber jars with your favourite face cream, cleanser, or mask so you don’t have to take the full-size version.

3. Essential Oil Blends

Create your own essential oil blends or solid perfumes. The dark amber glass protects oils from light, helping to preserve their therapeutic properties.

4. Spice or Herb Storage

Store small amounts of culinary herbs, matcha, or loose-leaf tea in your clean 60ml jars. They’re airtight and perfect for a minimal pantry aesthetic.

5. Seed Saving or Gardening

Label your jars with the plant name and save seeds for next season’s garden. Great for flowers, herbs, or vegetables.

6. Mini Candle Holder

Melt down your leftover beeswax or soy wax to create tiny, slow-burning candles. Great for bath time or cozy evenings. We even have all the supplies for you to do this in 60m glass jars for only $7 - Link to beeswax candle refill.

7. Jewelry or Trinket Storage

Keep earrings, rings, or crystals safe and organized—especially while traveling.

8. Portable First Aid Kit

Make a mini emergency kit with band-aids, alcohol wipes, or a few pills for your purse or backpack.

9. Refill at Our Refill Bar

Bring them back to one of our Nezza Naturals refill bars and we’ll clean and reuse them—or fill them up again with your favourite product!

10. Gift Something Homemade

Use them for gifting DIY goodies—think whipped body butter, bath salts, sugar scrubs, or even a homemade chai blend. Add a handwritten label for a personal touch.

How to Clean Your Jars for Reuse:

1. Scoop out as much of the product as you can.

2. Soak the jar in hot, soapy water.

3. Remove labels (natural citrus cleaners or a baking soda + coconut oil paste work well).

4. Rinse well and let dry completely before reusing.

Bonus: Earn Credit with Our Jar Return Program
