   an inner liner comprising:
 an inner liner bottom positioned at a first end; 
 an inner liner sidewall coupled to a perimeter of the inner liner bottom, wherein the inner liner bottom and the inner liner sidewall form an inner liner recess; and 
 an inner liner opening to the recess at a second end; and 
   a seal configured to attach to the rim of the outer liner;   wherein the inner liner sidewall and the inner liner bottom are flexible so the inner liner is configured to be turned inside out.   
     
     
         10 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 9 , wherein the outer liner rim is rigid or semi-rigid. 
     
     
         11 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 9 , wherein the inner liner comprises silicone and/or silicone rubber. 
     
     
         12 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 9 , wherein the inner liner is configured to be received within the outer liner recess via the outer liner opening. 
     
     
         13 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 9 , wherein the outer liner lip is configured to interface with a container rim disposed at an end of the container when the disposable cartridge is inserted into the container. 
     
     
         14 . The disposable cartridge of  claim 9 , wherein the seal is configured to seal the inner liner within the outer liner when the inner liner is positioned within the outer liner and the seal is attached to the outer liner rim. 
     
     
         15 . A container comprising:
 a body comprising:
 a recess; 
 an opening to the recess, the opening positioned at a top end of the body; and 
 a rim positioned at the opening; and 
   a cap configured to removably attach to the body to cover the opening,   wherein the recess is configured to receive a disposable cartridge so a lip of the disposable cartridge contacts the rim when the disposable cartridge is inserted into the recess.   
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the cartridge comprises an inner liner nested within an outer liner, wherein the inner liner is configured to be turned inside out. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein the body comprises a rim extending from the top end of the body, the rim having a notch formed on an outer surface, and wherein the lip of the disposable cartridge comprises a flange that extends away from an upper surface of the lip and a protrusion configured to interface with the notch when the disposable cartridge is positioned in the recess.
