Yes, the glass pharmaceutical bottle can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to clean the packaging thoroughly, rinse off any residues of the original product mechanically and then disinfect it with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, such as isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For disinfection you can use the products IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured, plant-based. After it has fully dried, the bottle is ready to be refilled.

Before first use, we recommend rinsing the bottle with clean water, or with a mild, fragrance-free cleaning agent if necessary, rinsing thoroughly, allowing it to dry and then disinfecting it with alcohol. Disinfection can be carried out by rinsing the interior with a small amount of alcohol and spraying or wiping the thread as well as the external contact surfaces. You can use, for example, IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured, plant-based. Allow the alcohol to evaporate at room temperature.

Yes, the glass container is suitable for oil-based and lower-viscosity preparations, such as facial and body oils, oil serums or herbal macerates. The key is to choose the right type of closure or dispenser that matches the viscosity of your product – for example, a dropper for thin solutions or a closure with a smaller opening for oil blends. For the first filling, we recommend checking whether the selected combination of packaging and closure provides uniform dosing and good sealing.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend sorting it into separated waste according to the material specified in the product parameters. The glass bottle can usually be disposed of in the container designated for glass after removing any product residues and unscrewing the closure. The closure, which may be made of a different material, should be sorted according to its labelling (for example metal or plastic). Always follow local waste-sorting rules and the information provided for the specific product on Handymade.sk.

To quickly find suitable packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on the selected packaging category. In the advanced filter you can sort products according to several parameters, for example by neck type, size, colour and material. By combining these filters, you can narrow down the selection so that the packaging matches your specific formulation and design requirements as closely as possible.

The glass packaging should be stored in a dry, clean place at a stable room temperature, protected from direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes. Before filling, we recommend checking that the bottle and the thread are intact. Filled products should be stored in accordance with the requirements of the specific formulation – for example, sensitive cosmetic preparations should be kept away from direct light and heat sources in order to preserve their stability and sensory properties.
