How We Package

The glass, and the care

Violet glass, made in Europe

Every Everyday Tallow cream is housed in premium violet glass, produced in Europe rather than a cheaper imitation. This isn't ordinary dark glass. Known as biophotonic glass, it has a unique property: it blocks the visible light that degrades natural products over time, while allowing a specific beneficial part of the spectrum through. The result is a container that helps protect and preserve what's inside.

Why it matters for your cream

Our creams are made from raw, living ingredients — tallow, olive oil, resins, and botanical oils — with no synthetic preservatives to prop them up. Light is one of the main things that breaks down natural oils over time. By filtering out the harmful part of the light spectrum, violet glass helps keep the oils, resins, and their natural properties stable and fresh for longer. It's the same reason precious natural products have been kept in dark vessels for centuries — we've simply chosen the most advanced version of that idea.

A proper seal

Each jar closes with an airtight seal, protecting the cream from air and moisture — the other two forces, alongside light, that shorten the life of a natural, water-free formula. Less exposure means a cream that stays truer to the day it was poured.

Made to be reused

Violet glass is built to last. When your jar is empty, it's easy to clean and reuse — for travel-sized balms, small treasures, or simply as a beautiful little vessel. And when you're truly done with it, the glass is recyclable.

The rest of the box

We think about the whole package, not just the jar:

• Orders are cushioned with 100% recycled tissue paper and reusable, recyclable crinkle paper — no plastic fill.
• Everything ships in corrugated cardboard boxes made with recycled content — widely accepted in most curbside recycling programs.
• We make only what each small batch calls for — no overproduction, little waste, and nothing made to sit in a warehouse.

An honest word

We're not a zero-waste company, and we won't claim to be. A few things in the shipping process — like tape and shipping labels — aren't recyclable yet, and we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that we choose better where we can, we don't overproduce, and we're always looking for the next thing to improve.
