Aluminium bottle, 24/410, 100 ml

Aluminium bottle 100 ml with 24/410 neck finish is a lightweight, shatterproof container for liquid cosmetic and technical preparations. Aluminium is completely opaque to light, providing better protection than clear or tinted glass, while weighing a fraction of a glass bottle of the same volume. It is particularly suitable for body and massage oils, oil serums, travel shampoos and shower gels, as well as technical liquids such as cleaning or maintenance preparations for the home and workshop.

The container is suitable for use with cosmetic products and meets the requirements of the European packaging regulation. The declaration of conformity is available in the product parameters.

Why choose an aluminium bottle

• Light protection – aluminium blocks all light, making it ideal for oils and active ingredients sensitive to UV radiation that would oxidise or lose colour more rapidly in a clear container.
• Low weight – significantly lighter than glass at the same volume, reducing shipping costs and making it easier to assemble travel or sample sets.
• Shatterproof – the bottle withstands drops and everyday handling in the bathroom or workshop. It may dent under a heavy impact, but it will not shatter.
• Cosmetic and technical grade – the container meets requirements for cosmetic use and is equally suitable for non-cosmetic preparations.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for under standard filling conditions and the figure stated on the label. The total volume to the brim is the physical capacity up to the neck. The difference between the two provides headspace for the closure, pump or sprayer and room for the contents to expand with temperature changes. Always fill to the nominal volume, never to the brim. Exact values for both volumes are listed in the product parameters.

What works well in this bottle

The safest choice is anhydrous preparations: vegetable and massage oils, oil serums, dry oils with esters and oil cleansers. Aluminium does not react with oils and the light protection slows their oxidation.

For water-based products (shampoos, shower gels, tonics, hydrolats) and preparations with low or high pH, it is advisable to verify the behaviour of the container with the specific formulation. Aluminium can react with acidic, alkaline or saline aqueous solutions on prolonged contact, which may manifest as a change in the appearance of the inner wall or the contents. Before filling a larger batch, a compatibility test in a single bottle over several weeks is recommended.

Closure and 24/410 neck finish

The bottle has the standard 24/410 neck finish, one of the most widely used in cosmetic packaging. Closures with the same neck finish and ready-made bottle-and-closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. When assembling your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing performance and compatibility with the specific formulation — particularly for pumps and sprayers, where the length of the dip tube matters.

What to know before filling

Before the first fill, wash and sanitise the bottle with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely, neck down. Residual moisture inside shortens the stability of oil-based products and increases the risk of microbial contamination in water-based formulations.

The smooth cylindrical surface labels easily and the silver base has a neutral appearance that allows the label to stand out. The dimensions of the labelling area can be calculated from the diameter and height given in the parameters. Labels with an opaque face stock are recommended on a silver substrate — transparent labels lose contrast against it.

The bottle can be reused. When empty, it belongs in metal packaging collection — aluminium can be recycled repeatedly without any loss of quality.
