Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly for a suitable type of product, provided that basic hygiene rules are observed during filling and storage. Before each new filling, the bottle, dispenser and cap must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol solution, for example with the products IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based. This reduces the risk of microbial contamination and undesirable effects on your formulation.

When cleaning the dispenser, we recommend disassembling the bottle into individual parts, thoroughly rinsing the mechanism with warm water and a mild detergent, and then rinsing with clean water. After drying, you can spray or rinse the internal parts with a suitable disinfecting alcohol solution, making sure to let all components dry completely before reassembling and refilling. This will maintain smooth and even dosing.

The aluminium bottle with dispenser is optimal for liquid and slightly semi-liquid formulations that need to be dosed in an appropriate amount – various toners, emulsions, light body lotions, hair tonics or skin sprays. For very dense or highly viscous products, dosing may be limited, so it is advisable to carry out trial filling on a small test sample and verify whether the dispenser mechanism works sufficiently smoothly with the given recipe.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend placing it into sorted waste collection in accordance with local recycling rules and with the recommendation according to the material stated in the parameter table for the product on the Handymade.sk website. The metal body of the bottle must be emptied of product residues and, where possible, freed from heavy contamination. The plastic dispenser and cap should be separated and sorted according to the relevant type of plastic, if the collection system in your area allows it. In this way you contribute to more efficient material recovery.

The opaque metal container can help protect more sensitive components from light and thus support the stability of a certain group of formulations. However, it is always important to check the composition of your product and verify that it is compatible with the packaging used. For new or complex recipes, we recommend producing a small test batch, monitoring the product’s behaviour over time and checking whether any undesirable changes in colour, fragrance or consistency occur in contact with the given type of packaging.

To make it easier to find the right packaging, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the advanced filter it is possible to combine several parameters at once – for example the type and diameter of the neck, the size of the packaging, the colour or the material. Thanks to this, you can easily display only those bottles, dropper bottles, jars or pots that meet your technical and design requirements.
