Looking for jars like the Zymol ones that have O-Rings, mainly in 1 and 2oz sizes. Anyone know where you can find them?

Thanks for those links, have looked at most of them. But looking for pots like the Zymol Detail Wax one with the o-ring around that makes the seal:
Would you consider matching a o-ring with a plain acrylic jar? Only flaw here is that I'm sure the jar lid would screw down to the bottom of the neck so the lid is flush with the jar body. So if you add a o-ring the jar lip would not fully seat inside the lid, you would rely on the o-ring for a air seal in this case. Depending on the jar design it might not screw on tight. Does the zymol jar leave a gap when screwed down without the o-ring? If there is no gap then they are probably just adding a o-ring. If not then it is probably not a off the shelf jar. If designed right with the proper gap for the o-ring I can see how this would provide a extra seal but from a practical stand point I don't think the extra o-ring would make much of a difference. Just package marketing, imho. With a good lid the seal should be pretty much air tight (ex. nalgene brand containers). Closest I could come was using this Acrylic jar: 4 oz Jar has 63mm cap. Designer Round Edge Plastic Jars - Freund Container & Supply With a o-ring from McMaster-Carr Width (thickness) 1.5 mm Inside Diameter 62 mm Outside Diameter 65 mm McMaster-Carr Not sure if these sizes would exactly match up you may want to ask for a cad drawing of the jar w/ measurements from freund container then find a 0-ring that fits from McMaster, they have about a bajillion sizes. Just food for thought.
Mainly I liked them because it did not have the foam sealing liner in the lid so it is all clear pot. Just liked the look, no other reason. Thought if they where easy to find and inexpensive I would get a few. Not worth putting them together. Thanks for the suggestion that is the first thing I thought of so I took one of my pots and put black rubber band around it and the o-ring could just slide down as the lip is not large enough to keep it in place on some pots.
The image is for here: VisiPak | Plastic Vials and Jars in Clear and Color I do not think they offer the type of jar you are looking for, I was just looking for a diagram to illustrate what I am talking about. I think the Designer Round Edge Plastic Jars - Freund Container & Supply is still the closest to what you are looking for. The description explicitly says "Jars are provided with a matching unlined cap". Search for jars and packaging designed for the cosmetics industry, they are designed keep product fresh and have good visual shelf appeal.
