Amber Glass Angular Bottle, Gold White Dropper, 10 ml

Concentrated serums, essential oil blends and oil elixirs are applied drop by drop, and light is bad for them. A square amber glass bottle with a volume of 10 ml and a white and gold dropper solves both problems. The dark glass filters light, so the bottle can also be filled with facial serums, active ingredient concentrates or essential oil blends, and the dropper dispenses the contents drop by drop without pouring and without touching the neck.

The straight square shape stands firmly on a shelf and sits well in the hand when dispensing. The bottle and the dropper both have an 18/410 neck finish, the length of the glass tube matches the height of the bottle, and both parts are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The gold collar with a white bulb gives the bottle a look that suits both retail packaging and your own cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial and oil serums – the small volume and drop-by-drop dispensing match the way concentrated products are applied to the skin.
• Blends of essential oils and fragrance oils – the dark glass limits the effect of light, and the dropper measures an exact number of drops into a carrier oil or diffuser.
• Samples and test batches – 10 ml is enough to try out a formulation, check a fragrance or hand a sample to a customer.
• Oil-based products for nails, lips or eyebrows – precise application of a small amount to a specific spot.

Filling and dispensing

The bottle is filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The total volume up to the neck is larger, and the difference provides room for the submerged tube of the dropper and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. If the bottle is filled to the brim, the contents will be pushed out when the dropper is screwed in.

The dropper is operated by squeezing the bulb, immersing the tube in the contents and releasing. When closing, hand-tightening is enough, as overtightening needlessly strains the collar. Thicker oils are drawn up more slowly, so test the number of drops per dose with your specific formulation.

Good to know

Glass does not react with oils, essential oils or alcohol, so the packaging does not change the fragrance or character of the contents. The dropper also contains a silicone bulb and plastic parts. With concentrated essential oils or solvents, we recommend checking whether the bulb changes over time. Water-based products in this packaging need a preservative, because the dropper comes into contact with both the contents and the surroundings every time it is used.

The set can be reused. The bottle withstands regular washing and disinfection with alcohol. The dropper is rinsed by drawing up and expelling a cleaning solution and is then left to air-dry. With sudden temperature changes, for example when filling a hot product into a cold bottle, the glass may crack.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations of this bottle are available in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation. For recycling, the bottle belongs with glass. The dropper combines metal, plastic, silicone and glass, so separate it from the bottle before disposal.
