First, I've changed the lotion containers to recyclable jars. I originally picked them based solely on aesthetic value and availability. I've just kept the same ones without thinking for years.
The new jars are clear for the regular body lotions, and tardis blue for the specialty hand and foot creams. They looks a little smaller, but I swear, they are still 4 ounces! They are slightly taller and narrower.

Also, I've decided to stop shrink wrapping. Heating plastic is bad for the environment and our bodies. The extra plastic is just going to be peeled off as soon as the customer receives it!
