Amber Glass Bottle, Type B, Slim, Black Aluminium Cap, 10 ml

Amber glass medicine bottle, type B, tall, black aluminium cap, 10 ml

An amber glass medicine bottle with a capacity of 10 ml and a black aluminium cap, supplied as a ready-made set of bottle and closure. Amber glass filters light, so it suits contents that are damaged by light: oil serums, facial and massage oils, blends with essential oils, tinctures or concentrated active ingredients. The volume is right for samples, test batches and travel sizes.

The tall, slim type B medicine bottle takes up little space. The black cap has an EPE (polyethylene foam) liner inside, which sits against the neck when the cap is tightened and seals the contents. The term “medicine bottle” describes the shape of the bottle, not its contents.

What it is good for

• Oil serums and facial oils – amber glass slows the effect of light on sensitive oils, and the volume lasts for several weeks of use.
• Samples and test batches – when fine-tuning a formulation, a small quantity is divided into several medicine bottles to compare stability or fragrance.
• Essential oil blends and fragrance oils – with concentrated essential oils and alcohol-based contents, we recommend checking how the cap liner behaves in the specific combination.
• Tinctures and active ingredient concentrates – the small size makes it easier to measure precise amounts into a larger formulation.

Nominal volume and brimful capacity

The nominal volume is the volume the packaging is designed to hold when filled normally. The brimful capacity is the physical volume right up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between the two leaves headspace for the closure and for the contents to expand when the temperature changes. The medicine bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If filled up to the neck, the cap would push out some of the contents when tightened and the liner would not sit cleanly.

Contact with cosmetics and food

The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The declarations of conformity are available with the product. Only the glass medicine bottle on its own is certified for direct contact with food. The aluminium cap is not, so the set is not intended for food use and is intended for cosmetics.

Good to know

The glass withstands normal filling temperatures but does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Let warm contents cool before filling, at least until the medicine bottle can be held in your hand, and do not fill a cold medicine bottle with a hot mixture.

The aluminium cap only needs to be tightened by hand. Excessive force deforms the liner, and it may not sit the same way the next time the bottle is opened. If you plan to reuse it, check after washing and disinfecting that the liner is not swollen or damaged.

Closures with the same neck type, as stated in the parameters, and ready-made combinations of the medicine bottle with a dropper or another closure are available in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the seal, dispensing and how the packaging behaves with the specific formulation.

Once you have finished using it, the glass belongs in glass recycling and the aluminium cap in metal recycling.
