Thermal protection box for balms and creams

I make round natural cork travel boxes to surround closed containers of balms and creams. This model has a thicker structure than the soap boxes to provide additional passive thermal protection. Cork delays warming of the contents and their softening when exposed to heat.

The box does not cool the contents or prevent melting. The protection time depends on the ambient and initial product temperatures, exposure time, formulation and container, and where the box is placed. Avoid direct sunlight and the inside of a hot car.

I apply natural wax to the exterior to protect the cork and improve the surface’s resistance to water and moisture. The box is sold empty, for carrying the original closed container. Check the measurements and care instructions on the product page.
