Aluminium Bottle with White Plastic Cap, 50 ml

The aluminium bottle with white cap with a volume of 50 ml is lightweight packaging for small quantities of cosmetics that does not break when dropped. It is suitable for body and massage oils, oil serums, blends of carrier and essential oils, or samples of your own products. The metal wall blocks light, so the contents are protected from daylight and UV radiation, which is particularly important for oils prone to oxidation. The ribbed plastic cap is easy to unscrew even with oily fingers. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Oil-based products – body, massage and hair oils, oil serums, blends with essential oils. The opaque wall protects them from light, which speeds up the spoilage of oils.
• Travel packs – the 50 ml volume suits hand luggage, and the bottle weighs only a few grams and does not crack when something falls on it in a suitcase.
• Samples and test batches – a small quantity for trying out a formulation, for a gift, or for handing out to customers when introducing a new product.

Cap and seal

The set includes a white cap made of polypropylene with a foam polyethylene (EPE) liner that sits on the neck and seals it. The ribbed surface gives your fingers a grip when tightening, so the cap can be closed firmly without any tools. The contents are dispensed by pouring, which suits oils and liquids with lower viscosity. If you prefer a different way of dispensing, you will find closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made bottle and closure combinations, in the Handymade range.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is intended for under normal filling. The brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them provides room for the closure and for the contents to expand with temperature changes, for example when oil warms up in summer. For this reason, fill the bottle up to the nominal volume, not up to the brim.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the cap, rinse them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Residual water in an oil-based product encourages the growth of microorganisms, which an anhydrous formulation without a preservative cannot cope with.

You can use the bottle repeatedly, provided that you clean it thoroughly between refills and the cap with its liner remains intact. Aluminium does not crack, but the wall may dent under a strong impact. This usually has no effect on function, only on appearance.

The set is not declared suitable for contact with food; it is intended for cosmetics. When disposing of it, separate the plastic cap from the aluminium bottle, as each material belongs in a different waste collection.
