Amber Glass Bottle, Type B, Slim, Gold White Spray, 10 ml

The glass medicine bottle with fine mist sprayer, 10 ml, is suitable wherever you need to spray a small amount of liquid: samples of perfumes and fragrance waters, a travel pack of facial toner or hydrosol, a refreshing face mist, a disinfectant spray for your handbag, or trial doses of your own recipe before you make a larger batch. The amber glass filters light, so it protects contents that are sensitive to light, for example perfume compositions with essential oils or sprays with plant extracts. The sprayer in a glossy white and gold finish gives the small pack the look of a finished product, which you will appreciate for customer samples as well as for gift sets.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The glass bottle on its own also has a certificate for direct contact with food, but the sprayer does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

What it is suitable for

• Samples of perfumes and fragrance waters – a volume of 10 ml corresponds to the usual size of a trial sample, and the spray disperses an alcohol-based composition without dripping.
• Toners, hydrosols and facial sprays – water-based formulations are applied evenly from the sprayer, and the small volume is used up before it has time to lose its fragrance or effectiveness.
• Travel and handbag packs – hand disinfectant sprays, face mists or hair sprays in an amount that fits into a handbag or hand luggage.
• Trial batches – when developing your own recipe, you fill several bottles with different variants and compare their behaviour with the same method of application.

How to work with the set

The sprayer screws onto the bottle. Before screwing it on, check that the dip tube reaches just above the bottom of the bottle. If it is longer than the bottle is tall, shorten it with a diagonal cut. A diagonally cut end does not stick to the bottom, so the sprayer draws up the liquid right down to the last drops. When using it for the first time, press the actuator several times to prime it until the tube and the pump are filled with liquid.

One press releases approximately 0.14 ml (indicative value). Use this figure when estimating the number of doses in the bottle and when writing the instructions for use that you give your customers with the sample.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 10 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for with normal filling. The total brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them leaves room for the tube and the body of the sprayer and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle will overflow when the sprayer is screwed on.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely. Rinse the sprayer with clean water or alcohol by pressing it several times and leave it to dry with the tube pointing downwards.

The glass tolerates both alcohol-based and water-based contents. The sprayer combines polypropylene and aluminium. For perfume compositions with a high proportion of essential oils or for formulations with solvents, we recommend checking before a larger production run that the appearance of the plastic and the tightness of the joint do not change after several weeks. Do not store the filled bottle in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

After thorough washing and disinfection, the glass bottle can be reused. For the sprayer, reuse is suitable only within the same type of contents, because residues of fragrance or dye are difficult to remove from the tube and the pump.

Closures with the same neck type, given in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
