Amber Glass Bottle, Black Fine Mist Sprayer, Black Overcap, 10 ml

An amber glass medicine bottle with a capacity of 10 ml and a black fine mist sprayer form a ready-made set for small quantities of liquid cosmetics that you want to apply as a spray. The dark glass reduces exposure to light, so it is particularly suitable for contents sensitive to UV radiation: perfume compositions and fragrance samples, facial mists, toners and hydrosols, alcohol-based solutions, or travel-size packs of larger products. The sprayer disperses the liquid into fine droplets, so the contents are dispensed evenly and without your fingers touching the neck of the bottle.

The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Only the glass medicine bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact. The set with the sprayer is intended for cosmetics.

What it is suitable for

• Perfumes and fragrance samples – alcohol-based perfume solutions, travel-size decants of a favourite fragrance, testers for customers.
• Facial mists and toners – hydrosols, toners with solubilised essential oils, refreshing sprays for your handbag.
• Alcohol-based and water-based solutions – hair sprays and other low-viscosity formulations.
• Samples and recipe testing – when developing a new formulation, simply fill the bottle with a small amount and check how the product behaves during application.

The sprayer works with thin liquids. Oils, thick serums or emulsions with higher viscosity will not pass evenly through the nozzle. For these, a dropper or a pump is a better match for the same medicine bottle.

Filling and using the sprayer

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful capacity, given in the parameters, is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dip tube with the sprayer fitted and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Therefore, fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

One press of the sprayer releases approximately 0.14 ml, which for perfume solutions or mists corresponds to a single application. After filling and screwing on the sprayer, press it several times to prime it until the tube fills and the nozzle starts to spray continuously.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the medicine bottle, disinfect it with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the sprayer with clean water or alcohol and spray it through a few times so that no residues remain in the tube.

For alcohol-based perfume solutions and formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils, we recommend checking how the sprayer behaves with your specific recipe. A short test in one bottle before larger production saves you problems with sealing and dispensing.

Closures with the same neck finish as the medicine bottle, as well as other ready-made packaging and closure combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. If you combine parts yourself, check the seal with your specific formulation. At the end of their life, separate the two parts: the glass goes into glass recycling and the sprayer into plastics.
