Review (5/5): These are exactly what I need them to be
These are great! No seriously, I'm thrilled to have these. If you're like me and you make your own lotions and creams and scrubs and such, then you absolutely NEED these, at a good price, in pretty much exactly this size and here's why. If you make lotion and you've done the tiniest bit of research, then you know the preservatives debate/dilemma/controversy and that's this--if you're going to have a big bottle or jar of lotion out on the counter, then it NEEDS a preservative. But all the preservatives have twelve-syllable unpronounceable names, and people who like to keep their stuff a little bit more on the natural side don't like to use them. And if you're like me and you don't mind the long names of whatever chemical you have do use to preserve it, you're never 100% positive you got the right amount. Too much, and the lotion is unusable and irritating. Too little and you can get bacteria, mold and yeast growing in your lotion, and that's lousy. So if you don't want to use a preservative, everybody advises you to keep your lotion in the fridge. Which is great, but what, I want to get out of the shower, trek out to the kitchen, use my lotion, and then put it back while I'm in a towel? Enter these cool little things, which hold a couple of days worth of cream, which is exactly how long I feel okay having an unpreserved lotion out of the fridge. So I make my lotion, pour 24 ounces of it into these little things, and pull one out every couple of days. Really good deal. Hope they're dishwasher safe. I received these at a discount in exchange for an honest review, and I chose to review them because I expected them to be good, and they are.
