Amber Glass Bottle, Type B, Slim, Lotion Pump, 10 ml

This set dispenses a cream, eye cream or light emulsion in a small pack by pressing the pump, with no unscrewing and no reaching into the contents with your fingers. The 10 ml amber glass medicine bottle is paired with a plastic lotion pump, so it suits customer samples, test batches and travel packs. Amber glass limits the amount of light getting in, which you will appreciate with formulations containing vegetable oils, vitamins or essential oils, as these lose their properties faster in light. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What the set is suitable for

• Creams and emulsions in a small pack – customer samples, travel creams, and eye and face creams that are used in small doses.
• Gels and light textures – hydrogels, gel serums and topical products that should pass through the tube and pump without leaving residue on the neck.
• Hygienic dispensing – the contents stay in the closed bottle and only the dispensed amount reaches the skin. With daily use, you therefore do not transfer dirt from your fingers into the contents.

How to work with the set

Fill the bottle to its nominal volume of 10 ml, not to the brim. The brimful capacity is larger and is stated in the parameters. The difference between the two values is a reserve for the pump tube, which pushes part of the contents upwards once screwed in, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. An overfilled bottle overflows when the pump is screwed in, and the pump gets dirty before the first use.

With one press, the pump dispenses approximately 0.12 ml, which corresponds to a small dose of eye or face cream. After filling and screwing in the pump, press it several times to prime it until the tube fills and the contents come out evenly. The pump is designed for cream and gel consistencies of medium thickness. Very thick balms, waxy ointments or products that solidify in the cold may not pass through the pump. For very thin contents, such as liquid serums or oils, we recommend checking the dispensing and the seal on a test piece before you fill the whole batch.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely. It is enough to rinse the pump with clean water, pump it empty and dry it. If you disinfect it with ethanol, also let it dry thoroughly, so that the alcohol does not get into the contents.

The set can be reused. The glass withstands regular washing and disinfection. Before the next filling, empty the pump, rinse it and pump water through it, so that no residues of the previous formulation remain in the tube. For contents with a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend checking how the plastic parts of the pump behave with your specific formulation.

The bottle has a neck with the thread type stated in the parameters. You can find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

After use, the glass bottle goes into glass recycling and the plastic pump is sorted separately as plastic.
