Gel deodorant tube?

[ToniD]

Can anyone tell me where to get a deodorant tube for GEL deodorant?

Thanks

Would a regular dial up tube work?

Thanks, but no. I want to make a gel--thickened liquid. Roll on will probably be the way to go.

I've seen tubes, can't remember where but it wasn't a soap supplies site....a site for commercial containers (I was searching for malibu tubes/princess ovals) and quickly left when I saw orders had to be in mega bulk like 10,000. :shock:

 

[ToniD]

Yeah, I found a couple sites like that. Had to order 10,000! Man, youd have to build a shed! Sure hope it would be a good deodorant recipe, because the tubes would last for our generation and into our childrens' genetation, and their children'. Even people that sell product would have a time using that many tubes in their lifetime, I would think. Yeah, not a site for the family user or the small business owner.

ToniD, would something like a malibu tube work for you?

I'm not sure what size you're looking for but NDA has some roll on bottles

Thanks for the info on finding the roll on bottles.

haha. the roll on tubes are cute and stubby.


For the gel deodorant, are you talking about those tubes that have the little holes in the top where the gel comes up through them?

Yes, that is what I was hoping to find. I checked everywhere I could think of and did several google searches, but could not find them in amounts that I wanted.

How 'bout sharing your (or any) recipe for gel deodorant?? Haven't seen one of those.

I've looked for those as well. Never did find any in a smaller amount.

Hello,
Can you modify the cap of a standard deodorant stick by cutting the cap down to size so it sits flush on the tube, drill holes in the top of the cap, fill the tube, then glue the cap to the tube? You wont have a cap for it but you could use plastic wrap or store it in a plastic bag.

I haven't tried this but it seems logical.

:idea:

Unless you can do 'a clean job', I wouldn't go there...the tubes sold in stores are made specifically for this. Trying to make your own by cutting, drilling and glueing seems like a 'duct tape' solution to me and not practical for 'mass' production...
