The included flip-top cap provides a tight, secure seal, effectively preventing spills and contamination while allowing for easy, controlled dispensing with a simple flip. Its sleek, minimalist design in a crisp white color offers a clean and professional appearance, making it suitable for a variety of brand aesthetics. This tube comes as a complete set, including the tube body and the flip-top cap.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas in Cosmetics

The California 100ml Tube is incredibly versatile, making it an indispensable choice for packaging a broad spectrum of cosmetic and personal care products. Its robust design and opaque material make it particularly suitable for formulations requiring protection from light and air:

• Creams:
  • Face Creams: Ideal for daily moisturizers, night creams, and anti-aging formulas, providing hygienic dispensing and protecting active ingredients.
  • Hand Creams: Perfect for travel-sized or everyday use, offering easy application for nourishing and protective hand creams.
  • Foot Creams: Conveniently dispenses thicker foot creams for targeted application and hygiene.
• Lotions and Milks:
  • Body Lotions/Milks: Excellent for body moisturizers, after-sun lotions, or specialized body treatments. The flip-top cap allows for quick and generous application.
  • Face Lotions: Suitable for lighter face lotions where a tube format is preferred for precise dispensing.
• Serums:
  • Thicker Serums: While some serums are very thin, this tube is great for thicker, more concentrated facial or body serums that have a creamy or gel-like consistency.
• Masks:
  • Hair Masks: Provides hygienic and convenient packaging for deep conditioning hair masks, preventing contamination and making application easy in the shower.
  • Face Masks: Ideal for rinse-off or overnight face masks, keeping the product fresh and preventing exposure to air.
• Balms:
  • Lip Balms (larger sizes): Can be used for larger-format, multi-use lip balms or treatments, offering a more hygienic alternative to jar packaging.
  • Body Balms: For semi-solid or softer body balms, this tube offers a convenient way to dispense without direct hand contact with the bulk of the product.
• Cleansers and Gels:
  • Facial Cleansers (cream or gel): Ideal for cream cleansers, gel cleansers, or foaming cleansers, allowing for controlled dispensing.
  • Gels: Suitable for various gel formulations, such as aloe vera gel, styling gels, or topical relief gels.

The California 100ml Tube stands out as a reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and highly functional packaging solution for both established cosmetic brands and independent formulators worldwide.

Cosmetic Recipe: Hydrating Hand & Body Cream with Natural Botanicals

Create a nourishing and moisturizing cream for hands and body, perfectly packaged in the California 100ml Tube for convenient daily use.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, scales, and the California 100ml Tube) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A: In a heat-resistant beaker, combine the distilled water and vegetable glycerin. Gently heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F).
3. Prepare Phase B: In a separate heat-resistant beaker, combine sweet almond oil, shea butter, emulsifying wax NF, and cetyl alcohol. Heat to 70-75°C (158-167°F) until all solids are fully melted and clear.
4. Emulsification: Once both phases reach the target temperature, slowly pour Phase B (oil) into Phase A (water) while continuously stirring with a stick blender or whisk. Continue blending/whisking for several minutes until a stable emulsion forms and the mixture starts to thicken as it cools.
5. Cool Down: Continue stirring occasionally as the cream cools down to below 40°C (104°F). This helps ensure a smooth, uniform texture.
6. Add Phase C: Once the cream is below 40°C, add D-Panthenol, Vitamin E Oil, your chosen broad-spectrum preservative, and any optional fragrance or essential oils. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
7. pH Adjustment (Optional but Recommended): Check the pH of your cream. For skin creams, a pH between 5.0 and 5.5 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
8. Fill Tubes: Carefully fill the California 100ml Tube using a piping bag, a small funnel, or a tube filling machine. Fill from the bottom (open end) of the tube if possible, then seal. If filling from the top, ensure minimal air bubbles.
9. Secure Cap: Snap the flip-top cap securely onto the tube.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Filling: When filling the California 100ml Tube, ensure the cream is cool enough (below 40°C) to prevent any potential issues with the plastic, but still fluid enough to be easily dispensed.
• Air Bubbles: For a professional finish, try to minimize air bubbles during the filling process. If filling from the bottom, a tube sealer will be needed. If filling from the top, gently tap the tube on a flat surface to settle the product.
• Preservation: Always use a broad-spectrum preservative in water-containing formulations to prevent microbial growth, especially as the California tube protects from light but not necessarily air ingress once opened.
• Storage: Store the filled California tube in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The opaque white plastic of the tube offers excellent protection from UV light, helping to maintain product stability.
• Hygiene: The tube and flip-top cap design promotes hygienic dispensing, reducing the risk of contamination from fingers compared to jar packaging.
• Travel-Friendly: The durable plastic and secure cap make this tube ideal for travel, preventing leaks and protecting your product on the go.
• Versatility: This recipe can be easily adapted by swapping carrier oils, adding different botanical extracts, or adjusting essential/fragrance oils to create unique variations for different skin types or preferences.
