Bamboo Lid Cosmetic Jar Use and Care

I. Treatment before first use

• Cleaning and Sterilization

Rinse the bamboo lids and jars with water, avoiding the use of detergents or chemical cleaners to avoid damaging the natural protective layer of bamboo (bamboo coat).

If deep cleaning is needed, soak in light salt water for 3 hours and then steam for 30 minutes to prevent mold and insects.

• Oil Maintenance

Before the first use, evenly apply food-grade vegetable oil (such as olive oil) or special wood care oil inside and outside the bamboo cover, and repeat 3-4 times after absorption to enhance the anti-cracking property.

II. Precautions for daily use

• Cleaning method

Dry the water stains with a soft cloth after cleaning to avoid residual moisture causing moldy bamboo lids or rusty canisters.

Cosmetic residue can be used cotton swabs dipped in alcohol local wipe, do not soak or exposure to the sun.

• Seal Maintenance

Screw type bamboo lid should be checked regularly to see if the silicone gasket is aging and deformed, and replace it in time to ensure the sealing.

Avoid excessive force when opening and closing the snap-on bamboo cap to prevent deformation of the snap-on cap leading to liquid leakage.

III. Long-term storage and anti-mold and anti-cracking

Humidity control

Humid environment in the south: bamboo lid cans need to be placed in a ventilated dry place, can be built-in food-grade desiccant or bamboo charcoal packets to absorb moisture.

Dry environment in the north: quarterly application of wood oil or beeswax to prevent bamboo dry cracks.

Idle Maintenance

When not in use for a long time, clean and dry it and seal it, the bamboo cover can be wrapped with moisture-proof paper or put into a moisture-proof bag.

IV. Special scene response

Anti-odor treatment

If the bamboo cover adsorbs the odor of cosmetics, use lemon juice or tea water to wipe and air dry.

Anti-insects and moths

Regularly smear the surface of the bamboo lid with ginger slices or spray diluted white vinegar water to inhibit the growth of bacteria and insect eggs.

V. Taboo Matters

Avoid high temperature: Bamboo lids should not be exposed to hot water or direct sunlight, or they will be easily deformed and cracked.

Prohibit the use of chemicals: strong acid / alkaline cleaner will corrode the bamboo material and destroy the surface luster.

Avoid frequent opening and closing: cosmetic jars need to reduce the number of unnecessary opening of the lid to avoid moisture intrusion.

By using the above methods, you can extend the service life of the bamboo lid cosmetic jar, while maintaining its natural texture and environmental characteristics.

General service life of bamboo lids for cosmetic jars

• Basic life range

Under normal use and regular maintenance, bamboo lids can be used for 2-3 years.

If high humidity cosmetics (such as masks, lotions) are stored for a long period of time, bamboo lids are susceptible to mold and mildew, and the service life may be shortened to 1-2 years.

• Influence of Material Difference

Natural bamboo cans (e.g. bamboo): Dense bamboo with anti-mold technology (carbonization), the service life can be more than 3 years.

Glass/PET cans + bamboo lids: can body material is stable, bamboo lids alone can be replaced more frequently (about 1-2 years), and the overall service life is determined by the maintenance of bamboo lids.

Key measures to extend the service life

• Regular maintenance

Apply edible grade vegetable oil or beeswax quarterly to prevent the bamboo material from drying out and cracking or expanding by absorbing water.

Humid environments require built-in desiccant to avoid moldy bamboo lids.

• Sealing Structure Maintenance

Check silicone/rubber gaskets every six months for ageing and deformation.

Avoid violent opening and closing of the snap-on bamboo cover to prevent deformation of the snap-on buckle leading to sealing failure.

• Optimization of usage scenarios

Avoid storing products with strong volatility or high active ingredients (e.g. essential oils, Vitamin C extracts) to minimize the risk of corrosion of bamboo materials.

Clean and seal when idle, avoid prolonged contact with air or moisture.
