Aluminium Bottle, White Spray With Glossy Gold Collar, 50 ml

Aluminium bottle with sprayer for 50 ml of thin liquids, dispensed as a fine spray. The opaque aluminium protects the contents from light, and the bottle is lightweight and does not break if dropped. The white sprayer with a glossy gold collar gives the set a uniform look for both retail and gift packaging.

The set is intended for thin liquids: hydrolates, facial toners, refreshing mists, eaux de parfum and eaux de toilette, hair sprays or alcohol-based solutions. The 50 ml volume corresponds to a travel size and to the samples you carry in a handbag or a sports bag.

What the set includes

• Aluminium bottle 50 ml – silver, with a 24/410 neck finish. The opaque wall protects light-sensitive contents, for example hydrolates with essential oils or perfume compositions.
• Mini trigger sprayer – white, with a glossy gold collar and a dip tube that draws the contents from the bottom of the bottle. One press releases approximately 0.12 ml, which is enough for a single application to the face, hair or décolleté area without dripping.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. It is not intended for contact with food.

What it is suitable for

The sprayer is designed for contents with a viscosity close to that of water. It works well for hydrolates, toners and mists with a low proportion of glycerine, for alcohol-based eaux de parfum and for hair sprays without thickeners. A mini trigger sprayer does not disperse thicker serums, gels and more viscous oils evenly, so for such formulations we recommend a different type of closure.

With oils, viscosity is the deciding factor. Very light oils can be sprayed, but with most vegetable oils the spray will not be fine, and the dip tube and nozzle gradually become clogged. Check how it behaves in your specific recipe on a small quantity.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference provides a reserve for the dip tube of the sprayer and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise part of the contents is pushed out when the sprayer is screwed on.

Good to know

• Preparation before filling – before first use, wash the bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual moisture would put unnecessary microbial strain on a water-based formulation.
• Compatibility of the contents – with contents of a markedly acidic or alkaline pH, monitor how the packaging behaves over time, especially the condition of the inner wall and the stability of the colour or fragrance of the contents. Higher concentrations of essential oils or solvents can affect the plastic parts of the sprayer, so a small-batch test applies here as well.
• Thin-walled aluminium – the bottle may dent under strong pressure or when dropped. This usually does not affect function, but it does affect the appearance of the retail packaging.
• Opaque wall – the amount of remaining contents is not visible. You can estimate it by the weight of the bottle or by shaking it.
• Reuse – once the sprayer is empty, rinse it with warm water and spray clean water or ethanol through it several times to clear the nozzle and the dip tube. Once dry, the set can be filled again.
• Recycling – the aluminium bottle belongs in metal waste. The sprayer combines plastic and metal, so separate it from the bottle before sorting.
