Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

Are these tins food grade?

Do not assume they are food grade unless that is clearly stated on the product page. Some tins may be food safe, while others are intended for cosmetic or packaging use only.

How do I clean aluminium tins before refilling them?

Wash them gently with warm water and a suitable cleanser, then dry them thoroughly before reuse. Make sure no moisture remains inside before filling with a new product.

Can I use aluminium tins for whipped products?

You can, but the right tin size will depend on the texture and fill volume of your product. It is helpful to leave enough space to close the lid properly without compressing the contents too much.

Will these tins rust over time?

Aluminium does not rust in the same way as iron, but tins can still show wear if exposed to moisture or stored poorly. Keeping them clean, dry, and tightly closed will help maintain their condition.

Are aluminium tins leakproof?

Aluminium tins are generally better suited to semi-solid or solid products than thin liquids. For runnier formulations, it is best to check the lid fit and product consistency before use.
