Closures across the four formats

The spray needs a fine mist sprayer
239 closures sit against the spray shelf, and the fine mist pumps live on the narrower finishes. With 24-410 carrying 149 of the 463 containers, that is the finish to standardize a range on.
The cream needs a lid that seals and a wide mouth
345 closures against the cream shelf. The job is simple: keep the product from drying, survive contact with the base, and come off easily with slippery fingers. A liner that suits your oils is the thing to check.
The powder needs a sifter
81 closures against the powder shelf, and the sifter fitment is what turns a jar of powder into a product. It is also the part that blocks if the powder takes up moisture, so the liner matters twice.
The stick needs a mechanism, which is the container
A twist-up is not a container plus a closure, it is an assembly: tube, screw, elevator and cap. That is why the choice is three products rather than a closure matched to a bottle.
Essential oils attack liners
Which reaches all four formats, because almost every product in this category is fragranced. The liner is in contact with the base for months, and a swollen or softened one is a slow failure.
Alcohol in a spray is the harder case
A high-alcohol deodorant spray attacks plastics and adhesives, which is why 90 of the 463 spray containers are glass. Glass removes the bottle from the question and leaves the sprayer and the label.
Standardize per format, not across them
The four formats have nothing in common mechanically, so there is no single finish to build a range on. What is worth doing is one finish within each format, so each buys one closure in volume.
