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

The amber glass 10 ml pharmaceutical bottle with a fitted nasal sprayer makes a ready-to-use set for water-based preparations applied in small doses as a fine mist. Amber glass reduces light exposure, so this packaging suits hydrolates, salt and herbal solutions, or light tonics whose fragrance or colour gradually changes in light. The tall, slim shape of the pharmaceutical bottle sits well in the hand and fits into a handbag or pocket. The name “pharmaceutical bottle” refers only to the shape of the bottle, not to its intended contents.

The pump with white applicator has an 18/410 neck finish, the same as the neck of the bottle, so it fits directly without any additional parts. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Only the glass bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact; the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

How it dispenses

Pressing the applicator draws the solution from the bottle through the tube, and the nozzle disperses it into fine droplets. One press releases approximately 0.12 ml, so the preparation is dispensed in measured amounts, without pouring and without fingers touching the contents. When dispensing, hold the bottle upright with the base facing down so that the end of the tube stays in the solution.

The pump is designed for thin, watery solutions. Thicker solutions, gels or oils may clog the nozzle or come out in a stream instead of a mist. We therefore recommend testing how the pump behaves with your specific formulation beforehand.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. Total brimful volume, stated in the parameters, is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the tube and the body of the pump, which take up part of the space once fitted. Fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the solution will overflow when you screw the pump on.

What it is suited for

• Hydrolates and floral waters – spraying in a small dose onto facial skin or for a refresh; amber glass slows changes caused by light.
• Salt and herbal solutions – low-viscosity water-based preparations that the pump disperses evenly.
• Tonics and aromatic water sprays – a smaller travel pack that you refill from a larger bottle.
• Samples and test batches – a volume of 10 ml is enough to try out a recipe without wasting raw material.

Preparation before filling

Before first use, wash and rinse the glass bottle and disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, then let it dry completely. Rinse the tube and nozzle of the pump with clean water or ethanol and pump it empty several times. Fill the dry bottle using a funnel or syringe so that the solution does not run down the thread.

After fitting the pump, press the applicator several times until the tube fills and the first even spray appears.

Good to know

The bottle can be reused. However, the pump has tiny channels that are harder to clean after solutions containing salt or plant residues. When changing the contents, rinse it immediately after emptying, before residues dry inside.

The tube, nozzle and body of the pump are made of plastic, and the pump also contains metal and glass parts. For recycling, it must therefore be separated from the glass bottle. Glass belongs in glass collection; sort the pump according to local rules.

With stronger fragrance compounds and solutions with a higher alcohol content, we recommend checking that the plastic parts of the pump do not change the fragrance or appearance of the contents. You can find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made packaging plus closure combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, check the seal, dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
