Amber Glass Bottle, Type B, Slim, Matte White Dropper, 10 ml

A type B glass vial, tall, with a white matte dropper cap is a ready-made complete dropper dispensing set with a nominal volume of 10 ml. It is suitable wherever the contents are dispensed precisely and in small amounts, from facial serums to test samples of perfume compositions.

The bottle is made of amber glass, which filters light and helps slow down the degradation of light-sensitive ingredients, such as vegetable oils, vitamins or essential oils. The dropper with its white matte cap looks clean and simple on the tall vial, which is why the set is often chosen for smaller customer batches or as gift packaging for samples.

What the set consists of

• Glass bottle – a tall, slender vial shape, type B. 'Vial' is the name of the shape, not the intended use. Glass is chemically stable and does not affect the scent or composition of the contents.
• White matte dropper cap – a screw-top closure with a silicone bulb and a glass pipette that reaches almost to the bottom of the bottle. The glass pipette can withstand oils, essential oils and alcohol-based solutions that could damage a plastic dropper over time.

Both components have the same thread type, so the dropper seats on the thread precisely and nothing needs to be mixed and matched or checked in terms of size.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial serums and oil serums – dropper dispensing allows a small amount to be applied directly to the palm or skin, with minimal finger contact with the contents.
• Essential oil blends and fragrance concentrates – amber glass protects the scent from light, and the glass pipette is not damaged by essential oils.
• Tinctures and alcohol-based extracts – neither glass nor the silicone bulb reacts with alcohol, keeping the contents pure.
• Samples and test batches – the 10 ml volume is ideal for introducing a new product to customers or for stability testing of smaller quantities.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The glass bottle itself additionally holds a certificate for direct food contact, but the dropper cap does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics. If you need to fill food-grade oils or syrups, choose a closure with a food contact certificate for the bottle.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the quantity the packaging is intended for under normal filling conditions. The total brim-full volume is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference provides a reserve for the dropper, which occupies some space when screwed in, and for the slight expansion of the contents with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Otherwise, when the dropper is inserted, the contents will overflow through the neck and contaminate the thread.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – we recommend washing both the bottle and the dropper, disinfecting with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and allowing to dry completely. Residual water in an oil-based product can promote microbial growth.
• Leak-tightness – the dropper seals by contact between the silicone bulb and the thread. When working with your own formulation, we recommend verifying that the contents do not leak when inverted or in transport, especially with thin alcohol-based solutions.
• High-viscosity contents – thick serums with a higher proportion of gelling agents draw up slowly through the glass pipette. The set is better suited to liquid to mildly viscous products.
• Labelling – the tall, slender vial shape provides a narrow surface for a label. Print or a small sticker with the product name stands out well on the white matte cap.
• Glass and heat – do not fill the bottle with hot contents. Allow the formulation to cool so the glass does not crack and the silicone bulb does not deform.
• Recycling – the bottle goes into glass recycling; the dropper is a combination of glass, silicone and plastic, so it should be separated from the bottle before recycling.
