Amber Glass Bottle, 10 ml, 187 pcs

The amber glass bottle, a type A pharmaceutical bottle with a nominal volume of 10 ml, is intended for small portions of cosmetics where protecting the contents from light matters. The dark glass reduces the amount of daylight reaching the contents, so it is filled with oil serums for the face, nails or hair, essential oil blends, facial serums with sensitive active ingredients and alcohol-based tinctures. The 10 ml volume also suits a typical sample or travel size.

The pack contains 187 pcs. It is meant for makers who fill larger batches or regularly prepare samples and do not want to buy packaging one piece at a time.

According to the technical documentation, the packaging is suitable for contact with cosmetic products and for direct contact with food under normal and foreseeable conditions of use. You will find the declaration of conformity with the product.

What it is suitable for

• Oil serums and facial oils – blends of vegetable oils with essential oils or antioxidants, where dark glass helps preserve the fragrance and colour.
• Essential oil blends – your own aromatherapy compositions, dispensed drop by drop. Glass does not react with essential oils.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – herbal tinctures, propolis or alcohol-based concentrates. The glass does not release foreign substances into the contents.
• Serum and oil samples – smaller amounts that let customers try the texture before buying the full-size product.
• Homemade foods – flavoured oils, concentrated syrups or herbal extracts for the kitchen, in single-use amounts.

Nominal volume and brimful volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed to hold with normal filling. The brimful volume is the physical volume of the glass body up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference between them is a reserve for a dropper or another closure that extends into the neck, and for the contents expanding when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Closures

The pharmaceutical bottle has an 18/410 neck finish. You will find closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made combinations of a bottle with a closure, in the Handymade range. If you are making your own combination, we recommend testing the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the closure with your specific formulation on a single bottle, especially with concentrated essential oils and alcohol.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – we recommend washing new bottles, disinfecting them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and letting them dry completely. Residual water in an unpreserved cosmetic product shortens its shelf life.
• Reuse – the glass withstands repeated washing and disinfection, so pharmaceutical bottles can be used again. When changing the contents, replace or thoroughly clean the closure as well, since residues of the previous product remain in it.
• Glass and heat – fill the bottle with contents that have cooled down. A sudden temperature difference between a hot liquid and cold glass can damage the bottle.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of glass and belongs in glass collection after use.
