Abstract: The present invention relates to a container for high-grade natural products and a glass composition for such a container. Natural products, such as natural dietary supplements, phyto-therapeutic agents, etheric oils or homeopathic medicines, are high-grade products and can be stored in such a container. The container is made of clear glass in which the composition of the glass has incorporated therein particular mineral oxides including at least aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, cobalt oxide, nickel oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide, and titanium oxide, such that the glass is capable of substantially blocking visible light but allowing for the transmittance of ultraviolet and infrared light.

Natural products, such as natural dietary supplements, phyto-therapeutic agents, etheric oils or homeopathic medicines, are high-grade products and can be stored in such a container. Key features of the container, and the glass material from which it is made, include its ability substantially to block visible light but to allow permeation of infrared and ultraviolet light.
