Aluminium bottle, clear mini trigger sprayer, 50 ml

Silver aluminium bottle, clear mini trigger sprayer, 50 ml

The aluminium bottle with a volume of 50 ml and the mini trigger sprayer with a 24/410 neck finish make a ready-to-use set for toners, hydrosols and other thin cosmetic sprays. Aluminium is opaque and protects the contents from light. Unlike glass, the bottle does not break, so it copes well with being carried in a handbag or sports bag and with travelling. The clear sprayer head with a smooth collar lets the silver bottle stand out.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and the declaration of conformity for both components can be found with the product. This set is not intended for contact with food.

What it is suited for

The mini trigger sprayer works best with thin, watery contents that can be dispersed into a fine mist. One press releases approximately 0.3 ml. This set is therefore a good choice for:

• Facial toners and hydrosols – the small volume and protection from light suit products that are used up within a few weeks.
• Refreshing face and body sprays – aqueous solutions with glycerine, aloe or floral waters, applied from a greater distance.
• Hair sprays – light liquids for smoothing, refreshing or scenting the hair.
• Alcohol-based sprays – fragrance and body sprays; with these contents, we recommend checking the tightness of the closure and the stability of the dose in the finished product.
• Travel size – the bottle does not break when dropped, and the sprayer head can be easily cleaned once the contents are used up.

Thick emulsions, gels and pure oils do not spray as well from a mini trigger sprayer and often come out as a stream rather than a mist. Packaging with a pump or a dropper from the Handymade range is more suitable for these textures.

Nominal and total volume

The figure of 50 ml indicates the nominal volume, that is, the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume listed in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them provides room for the tube and the sprayer mechanism. The bottle is filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle could leak once the sprayer is screwed on.

Good to know

Before the first filling, we recommend rinsing the bottle and the sprayer, disinfecting them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leaving them to dry completely. Residual water would dilute the contents and, in unpreserved products, shorten their shelf life.

The bottle is made of aluminium with no further treatment described in the documentation, so with your own formulation we recommend checking how the packaging behaves with the specific contents. A short test of the filled bottle over several weeks will show whether the colour, scent or appearance of the contents changes.

The sprayer is made of polypropylene. With sprays containing a higher proportion of essential oils, check that the mechanism stays clear and that the sprayer head does not become sticky over time. Each time the contents run out, it is enough to rinse the sprayer with warm water and a little alcohol and spray it empty.

The set is intended for repeated use. When changing the contents, the original product is not topped up; the bottle is first emptied, washed and disinfected. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with the specific formulation.

For recycling, the bottle is sorted as aluminium and the sprayer as plastic. Before disposal, it is enough to separate both parts and rinse the bottle.
