Product description

This tall glass medicine bottle with a 50 ml capacity and an aluminium cap is intended for oil serums, tinctures and essential oil blends that need to be protected from light. Amber glass reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, so the bottle is used for face and body oils, oil serums, alcohol extracts, essential oil blends or fragrance compositions in a carrier oil. The slim, tall shape is easy to hold when pouring.

A silver aluminium cap with an EPE liner closes the bottle without a dispensing element. The contents are poured directly from the medicine bottle, or later transferred into bottles with a dropper or sprayer. The set is therefore also used for storing intermediate products, samples and smaller batches of finished blends, where it matters that the packaging is light, closed and protected from light.


What it is used for

  • Face and body oils – blends of vegetable oils that age faster when exposed to light; amber glass limits this effect.
  • Tinctures and alcohol extracts – the glass does not react with the contents, and the cap with liner keeps the contents sealed while stored in the dark.
  • Essential oil blends and fragrance compositions – the 50 ml volume is enough to prepare a fragrance that is then diluted or processed further.
  • Samples and intermediate products – a labelled medicine bottle with a cap is suitable for storing intermediate products or for handing samples to customers.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume of 50 ml is the amount the medicine bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total volume to the brim is larger. The difference between the two values is a reserve for the cap, a possible dropper and the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, never up to the neck, otherwise the contents will overflow through the thread when the cap is tightened.

Pour thicker oils and blends slowly through a funnel or from a beaker with a spout. The narrow neck of the medicine bottle is easily soiled, and dried oil on the thread then prevents the cap from seating properly.


Good to know

Before the first filling, the medicine bottle is washed, disinfected with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and left to dry completely. Residual water in an oil product shortens its shelf life and changes the concentration in alcohol extracts. The inside of the cap is wiped with disinfectant. The EPE liner should remain intact and without creases, because it is the liner that seals the neck.

The aluminium cap is tightened by hand, without tools. Thin metal deforms when tightened forcefully, and the thread then does not seal. For every new recipe, we recommend checking the tightness of the set lying on its side, especially with contents that have a high proportion of alcohol or essential oils.

Only the glass medicine bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact. The set as a whole with the aluminium cap is intended for cosmetic products, for which both components are declared suitable.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Before filling, let heated blends cool at least to a temperature at which the bottle can be held in the hand, and do not put a cold medicine bottle directly into hot water.

Other closures with the same neck type can also be fitted to the medicine bottle. You can find ready-made combinations of packaging and closure in the Handymade range. After it is emptied, the medicine bottle is washed and used again. For recycling, glass belongs with glass and the unscrewed aluminium cap with metals.


Frequently asked questions

Does the 50 ml amber glass medicine bottle protect the contents from light?
Yes, amber glass reduces the amount of light reaching the contents and slows down the changes caused by light. It is therefore suitable for vegetable oils, oil serums and essential oil blends. However, it does not provide complete darkness. It is advisable to store the medicine bottle away from direct sunlight or in a cabinet, so that the protection of the glass is combined with a dark place.
How much actually fits into the 50 ml medicine bottle?
The medicine bottle is designed for filling to 50 ml, although it holds more to the brim. The extra space remains free for the cap, a possible dropper and for contents that expand when warm. If it is filled up to the neck, the contents will overflow through the thread when the cap is tightened and may be pushed out when the temperature changes.
Is the medicine bottle set with an aluminium cap suitable for food?
No, the set as a whole is intended for cosmetic products. Only the glass medicine bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact; the aluminium cap with an EPE liner does not have one. For homemade oils or syrups, the medicine bottle must be combined with a closure that has its own certificate for food contact.
Can the glass medicine bottle with an aluminium cap be reused?
Yes, after it is emptied, the glass is washed, disinfected and filled again. Check the EPE liner in the cap. If it is deformed, cracked or soaked with the previous contents, the cap seals less well and it is better to replace it.
Is the 50 ml medicine bottle with an aluminium cap suitable for both oil-based and water-based contents?
Glass tolerates oil-based, water-based and alcohol-based contents without reacting with the material. For the finished set, the seal of the cap is decisive, so for water-based and alcohol-based products we recommend checking the tightness lying on its side before you fill the whole batch. For water-based products without preservatives, the same need to disinfect the packaging applies as with any other glass.
Can a dropper be fitted to the 18 mm medicine bottle instead of the aluminium cap?
Yes, the neck of the medicine bottle has an 18/410 neck finish, so other closures with the same neck type also fit it. You can use the aluminium cap from the set for storing the blend and replace it with a dropper before use. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with the specific formulation.
