1. A dispensing container and adapter system for use with a planetary mixer, the system comprising:
a dispensing container having a central longitudinal axis and a transverse axis and including:
a nozzle including an aperture configured to allow contents to exit from the dispensing container;
a removable cap configured to cover the nozzle, the removable cap having a first external width dimension measured along the transverse axis; and
a body connected to and spaced apart from the nozzle along the longitudinal axis, the body having a second width dimension to an inner surface of the body as measured along the transverse axis;
an adapter configured to receive the dispensing container, the adapter including:
a first wall portion defining a cavity configured to receive the removable cap, the cavity having a cavity width that exceeds the first width dimension; and
a second wall portion defining a recess configured to receive a portion of the dispensing container, the recess extending from the cavity and at least a portion of the recess having a width dimension measured from the central longitudinal axis along the transverse axis that is smaller than both the first width dimension and the second width dimension; and
a jar configured to receive the dispensing container and the adapter.
