compostable product packaging

[Renesoap]

Hi
I am just wondering if anyone has tried using the compostable containers and packages made from a corn product. I am pretty sure it won't work for essential oil based products, but for other products, it might. Has anyone had any experience with these packages?
Thanks
Rene

don't have any experience using those products, but had to throw in a warning... lol,

make sure that if you do use them, that you state clearly on the label etc that the container is made with corn. there are a lot of people allergic to corn that even touching the jar can have a reaction. (my DS is one) a lot of people are not aware of corn allergies but there are lots of people who have to avoid all things corn...

I use compostable/biodegradeable bags from Nashville Wraps for my bath bombs and have had a good experience with them. They have a slight brownish tint to them, so they're not crystal clear like new plastic ones. And they tear easily...but I'm all thumbs, which doesn't help. I also think they're made from wood fibers not corn. Hope this helps.

I have a local supplier here in Vancouver Canada, I just don't know if it will be a good packaging option for cosmetics.

Thanks
