Amber Glass Bottle, White Oral Spray, 100 ml

This glass medicine bottle with a capacity of 100 ml and an oral sprayer forms a ready-to-use packaging set for liquid cosmetic products that are applied in a targeted way and in small doses. The amber glass reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, which you will appreciate with blends containing essential oils, plant extracts or other light-sensitive ingredients. The oral sprayer with a long nozzle directs a fine mist exactly where you need it, without spraying the surrounding area. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. In addition, the bottle itself has a certificate for direct contact with food, while the sprayer does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

What it is used for

The name “oral sprayer” describes the shape of the sprayer, that is, an extended nozzle that can also be aimed at hard-to-reach places. In cosmetics, this type of packaging is used mainly for:

• Mouth sprays and breath fresheners – water-based or alcohol-based cosmetic products for the oral cavity, where a small amount is dispensed at a time.
• Targeted scalp sprays – a tonic or serum for the scalp can be applied directly to parted hair without wetting the lengths.
• Spot sprays for the skin – products for small areas, for example around the nails, elbows or feet, where an ordinary sprayer would dispense too much.
• Samples and travel packs – smaller volumes of tonics and alcohol-based extracts that need to be protected from light.

The sprayer works best with water-based and alcohol-based products of low viscosity. With thicker blends, contents with a higher proportion of oil or the addition of a thickener, we recommend checking that the contents spray evenly and that the nozzle does not become clogged over time.

How the set works

The sprayer screws directly onto the neck of the bottle with an 18/410 neck finish. One press releases approximately 0.1 ml, so you can count on fairly precise and repeatable dispensing. The dip tube is sized for the height of this bottle, so the contents can be used up almost to the bottom.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling, and the volume of the finished product is stated according to it. The brimful capacity, which you will find in the parameters, is the physical volume of the glass up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dip tube of the sprayer, the air above the liquid level and the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill the bottle up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Otherwise the contents will overflow when the sprayer is screwed on.

Good to know

• Preparation before filling – wash the glass and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual water could promote microbial growth in the finished product.
• Preserving the contents – a water-based spray product needs a preservative just as it would in any other packaging. Although the sprayer limits contact between the contents and the hands, it does not replace a preservative system.
• Essential oils and solvents – the sprayer is made of polypropylene (PP). With products containing a higher proportion of essential oils or alcohol, we recommend checking the behaviour and tightness of the sprayer in the finished formulation.
• Glass and heat – pour contents into the bottle once they have cooled to room temperature. A sudden change in temperature can damage the glass.
• Reuse – after washing and disinfection, the bottle can be filled again. You will find the procedure for cleaning the sprayer in the questions below.
• Recycling – once the bottle is empty, unscrew the sprayer. The glass belongs with glass, the PP sprayer with plastics.

If you want to combine the bottle with a different closure, the Handymade range includes closures with the same neck type as well as ready-made sets.
