Amber Glass Bottle, Type B, Slim, with Roll-On, 10 ml

The type B tall glass medicine bottle with a roll-on applicator is used to apply liquid cosmetic preparations directly to the skin, without dripping and without touching the product with your fingers. The set consists of an amber glass medicine bottle with a volume of 10 ml, an insert with a metal roller ball and a black plastic cap. Amber glass filters light, so it is also suitable for contents that lose their scent or change colour in light: perfume oils, oil blends with essential oils, cuticle oils, lip oil or a spot serum for small areas of the face.

The roller ball applicator delivers a thin layer exactly where it is needed. With a roll-on perfume or an aromatherapy blend for the temples and wrists, rolling the ball once or twice is enough. The contents do not spill and the small bottle fits into a handbag.

What the set consists of

• 10 ml glass medicine bottle – amber glass, type B tall shape. Once empty, it can be washed and refilled.
• Insert with a metal roller ball – a polypropylene socket in which a steel ball rotates. It is fitted onto the neck after filling.
• Plastic cap – black, screw-on, made of polypropylene. It covers the roller ball and prevents the contents from drying out or leaking during transport.

All three components have the same neck finish, as stated in the parameters. You can find further closures for this neck and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own custom set, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.

What it is suitable for

• Roll-on perfumes – both oil-based and alcohol-based fragrance compositions for application to pulse points.
• Aromatherapy blends – essential oils diluted in a carrier oil, for example for the temples, wrists or neck.
• Cuticle oil – the ball dispenses a small amount exactly onto the edge of the nail.
• Lip oil and spot care – light oils and serums for small areas where a dropper dispenses too much.

A roll-on works best with liquid contents of lower viscosity. Thick oils, butters or gels are transferred poorly by the ball and the applicator may become clogged.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 10 ml is the amount the medicine bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful volume stated in the parameters is the physical volume up to the top of the neck. The difference provides a reserve for the roller ball insert, which takes up part of the space in the neck once fitted, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the medicine bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Treat the roller ball insert and the cap in the same way, but dry them at room temperature.

After filling, the roller ball insert is pressed onto the neck and the cap is screwed on. For contents with a higher proportion of essential oils or alcohol, we recommend observing the set for several weeks before larger-scale production: tightness, free movement of the ball and any changes in scent.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. You can find the declaration of conformity with the product.

Once empty, the medicine bottle can be washed and refilled. When changing the contents, especially with perfumes, bear in mind that the plastic insert may retain the previous scent. In that case, it is better to replace it with a new one. After washing, the glass medicine bottle goes into glass recycling and the cap into plastic.
