A container for cosmetic products and a method of manufacturing the same. The container, such as a jar, has a wall formed by a first layer of a compostable material which comprises in combination a biodegradable polymer which forms a continuous matrix and, mixed therein, particles of a hydrophilic material capable of swelling inside the matrix upon water absorption. The container further comprises a second layer of a compostable material which comprises a biodegradable polymer which forms a continuous matrix and which is essentially free from particles of a hydrophilic material capable of swelling inside the matrix, or contains essentially less of them than the first layer. The container is degradable in compost, disintegration of the container wall, at 58° C., occurring within 12 weeks.

Provided is a resin composition comprising an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A), a hydrate-forming metal salt (B), and a polyamide-based resin (C) that inhibits elution of a resin composition layer during hot water sterilization treatment of a multilayered structure including the resin composition layer, while suppressing odor during melt molding of the resin composition. An aromatic polyamide (C1) and an aliphatic polyamide (C2) are used for the polyamide-based resin (C) at a proportion of (C1)/(C2)=55/45-99/1.

An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition contains: (A) an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer; (B) a styrene derivative; and (C) an iron compound; wherein the iron compound (C) is present in an amount of 0.01 to 5 ppm on a metal basis based on the weight of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition has ultraviolet absorbability even without a known ultraviolet-absorbing agent blended therein, and is excellent in heat stability and reduced susceptibility to coloration.
