Aluminium Bottle, White Fine Mist Spray, 50 ml

The aluminium bottle with a white sprayer, 50 ml, is a ready-made set for water-dilutable cosmetic products applied as a fine mist. The aluminium protects the contents from light, the bottle is lightweight and unbreakable, and it fits into a handbag or backpack. The white mini trigger sprayer with a 24/410 neck finish dispenses a small amount with each press, so the set is suitable for facial toners, hydrosols, refreshing face and body mists, hair sprays or alcohol-based fragrance sprays.

Both parts are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set is not intended for food.

Key benefits

• Protection from light – aluminium does not let light through, so hydrosols, toners with active ingredients and fragrance compositions are better protected than in clear glass or plastic.
• Lightweight, unbreakable packaging – the bottle weighs a fraction of a glass one and survives a fall onto a hard floor without shattering. It suits travel, the bathroom and the work desk.
• Fine mist – the sprayer breaks the liquid into tiny droplets that spread quickly on the skin without running off. One press dispenses approximately 0.12 ml.
• Ready-made combination – the bottle and sprayer have the same 24/410 neck finish, so they fit together without trial and error and you do not need to look for a separate closure.
• Silver and white look – a neutral colour combination that needs no further finishing and suits any brand style.

What the set is suitable for

The mini trigger sprayer works with liquids that have the consistency of water or are only slightly thicker. In a 50 ml bottle, the most common contents are therefore:

• Hydrosols and facial toners – rose water, lavender hydrosol, toners with glycerine or with hyaluronic acid in a low concentration.
• Refreshing mists – for the face during the day, for the body after sun exposure or for setting make-up.
• Hair sprays – leave-in conditioners, hydrating sprays for the ends and water-based curl refreshers.
• Fragrance sprays – room fragrances, fabric fresheners and hair fragrance sprays based on ethanol or on water with essential oils and a solubiliser.

Thick oils, serums with a higher content of thickeners and emulsions are not suitable for this type of sprayer. The mechanism either does not draw them up, or it clogs and dispenses irregularly. For pure vegetable oils, a bottle with a pump or dropper is more suitable.

Nominal and total volume

The 50 ml figure is the nominal volume, that is, the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The brimful volume is larger and you will find it in the parameters as the total volume to the brim. The extra space serves as a reserve: it holds the sprayer tube and part of the mechanism, and it also leaves room for the contents to expand when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If the bottle is overfilled, the contents are pushed out through the thread when the sprayer is screwed on and the bottle leaks.

Preparation before first filling and reuse

Before first filling, rinse the bottle, wipe it or spray it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely upside down. For the sprayer, it is enough to spray clean water or alcohol through it several times and let it drain, so that no water remains in the tube to dilute the first dose.

The set can be reused. When changing the contents, always rinse the tube and nozzle, ideally with alcohol. This way the remains of the old formulation do not mix with the new one, and deposits of solubiliser or essential oils are removed from the nozzle. Do not clean the inside of the aluminium bottle with abrasive agents or a wire scourer, as a scratched surface is harder to keep clean.

Good to know

• A fine mist needs a liquid content – if you want to add essential oils to the spray, use a solubiliser in the recommended ratio. Otherwise the oil separates in the nozzle and the spray starts to sputter.
• Opacity – the aluminium bottle does not show its contents, so the remaining amount is estimated by weight or by shaking.
• Heat – aluminium conducts heat faster than glass. Do not leave the bottle in direct sunlight in a car and do not fill it with hot contents; let the liquid cool to room temperature first.
• Contact with cosmetics – the bottle and the sprayer each have a separate declaration of suitability for cosmetic products; you will find the documents with the individual components in the parameters. The set is not declared for food, so it is not suitable for drinking water, cooking oils or herbal infusions for consumption.
• Other closures – the bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. You will find closures with the same neck and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the tightness and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of aluminium and the sprayer of polypropylene. Before disposal, separate the parts and sort them by material.
