If you have ever bought empty cosmetic containers, you know how expensive they can be. I just wanted to share. This is great for me because I hate re-using containers, especially for my butters unless the container is glass.

OMgosh! Think of the environment Madeaj! Recycle, recycle, recycle!

I do recycle when appropriate. That is why I use glass more often then not. But glass in the shower or bath is an accident waiting to happen. I will use the used clean containers for paints, pins and other crafts so they don't go to the garbage. Whatever's leftover goes to the recycling center. I do understand your concerns, though. 50 jars seem like a lot of landfill material. But I have other things to consider too.

Health-wise, plastic containers can hold odors and bacteria. Reusing cosmetic containers can cause skin problems and also cause your product to go rancid or mold faster. I have sensitive skin, even a bandaid leaves a mark like a burn on my skin. I can't afford to take chances with reusing containers. And I definitely cannot give my homemade creams and balms to people in used containers.

Ahhh, I completely understand if you're giving stuff out! Anyway, I was joking to be honest, hence the 'wink' smiley. My jokes aren't very good!

Awwwww, Jo Somebody, I understood you were joking. But you were right, recycling is a serious issue. I just wanted to share my reasons for getting so many containers.
