Amber Glass Bottle, 100 ml, 68 pc

A glass 100 ml vial made of brown glass with an 18/410 threaded neck is designed for cosmetic preparations that require protection from light. Dark glass reduces UV light penetration, making it suitable for serums, facial and body oils, tinctures, tonics, and concentrates with active ingredients whose stability decreases in light. The packaging is also suitable for direct food contact, so it can also be used for homemade herbal oils, syrups, infusions, or drops. It comes in packs of 68 pieces, which is a practical quantity for small-scale production, workshops, or preparing gift sets.

Why choose a brown glass vial

• Protection of contents from light – brown glass absorbs part of UV radiation, slowing oxidation of oils, fading of dyes, and degradation of sensitive components such as vitamins or essential oils.
• Chemical resistance of glass – glass does not react with oils, alcohol, acids, or essential oils, does not release plasticisers into the contents, and does not absorb odours. It is also suitable for preparations that could damage plastic.
• Standard 18/410 neck – a widely used thread type for which you can choose a closure according to the dispensing method: dropper, spray pump, or standard cap.
• Food and cosmetic grade – the packaging meets the requirements for contact with both cosmetics and food; a declaration of conformity is available with the product.
• Reusable and recyclable – glass can be refilled after cleaning and, at the end of its life, belongs in glass recycling.

Nominal and total volume

Two figures are used for packaging. Nominal volume is the volume for which the bottle is intended during normal filling, and this is the figure stated on the product label. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume of the glass up to the neck. The difference between them provides a reserve for a dropper or spray pump, which when fitted extends into the inside of the bottle, as well as space for the expansion of contents with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Both values are stated in the product parameters.

Suitable for products such as

• Facial and hair serums with vitamins, retinoids, or plant extracts that lose effectiveness in light.
• Facial, body, and massage oils – dark glass slows yellowing and oxidation of vegetable oils; the 100 ml volume suits both home and retail packaging.
• Essential oil blends, tinctures, and alcoholic extracts – glass does not react with alcohol or essential oils and does not release any substances into the contents.
• Tonics and facial mists in combination with a spray pump with an 18/410 neck.
• Food use – herbal oils, syrups, vinegar infusions, or drops; the packaging is approved for direct food contact.

Use and preparation of the packaging

Before first filling, wash the bottle with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Leave to dry completely with the neck facing down so that no water remains inside, which could dilute the contents or promote microbial growth in preparations without a preservative. When filling oils and serums, a small funnel or filling syringe is useful, as the 18/410 threaded neck is narrow.

The bottle can be reused after emptying and cleaning. When reusing, pay particular attention to the thread and neck where residue tends to accumulate, and disinfect them after washing in the same way as for the first fill. Droppers and spray pumps wear out faster than the glass, so replace them when refilling.

Closures and combinations

The bottle is compatible with closures with an 18/410 neck, which you will find in the Handymade range along with ready-made bottle + closure combinations. With your own combination, we recommend checking the seal, dispensing method, and packaging behaviour with a specific formulation in advance – especially with alcoholic and oily contents, where the closure seal material matters.

Good to know

• Dark glass is not complete protection – it absorbs part of UV radiation, but does not replace storage in the dark. Store preparations with highly sensitive ingredients away from direct sunlight even in brown glass.
• Weight and transport – glass is heavier than plastic, which should be taken into account when calculating postage and packing larger batches. When shipping bottles, cushion them with padding so they do not knock against each other.
• Recycling – an empty and rinsed bottle belongs in glass recycling; the material code is stated in the parameters.
• Pack of 68 pieces – the price and unit apply to the full pack.
