Amber Glass Square Bottle, White Mist Sprayer, 30 ml

A square amber glass bottle, 30 ml, with a white fine mist sprayer is a ready-made packaging solution for facial and hair toners, hydrosols, refreshing mists and perfume waters. Amber glass dampens light, so it is also suitable for formulations with essential oils, plant extracts or vitamins, which lose their effectiveness faster in light. The sprayer applies the contents as a fine mist, so there is no need to pour or soak cotton pads. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

Suitable uses

• Toners and hydrosols – low-viscosity aqueous solutions spray evenly and a small amount is applied directly to the skin.
• Facial and hair mists – a volume of 30 ml is enough for a travel or trial version of a formulation whose composition is still being tested.
• Perfume and body waters – alcohol-based formulations spray well and dark glass slows down changes in fragrance caused by light.
• Refreshing sprays for your bag – smaller alcohol-water solutions that you carry with you or keep on your desk.
• Samples and small batches – the square shape stacks well and saves space in the box.

Using the set

With one press, the sprayer releases approximately 0.13 ml of the contents. The amount is indicative and is usually smaller with thicker liquids or a partial press. The dip tube of the sprayer is longer than the bottle itself. Before the first assembly, therefore, shorten it with a sharp knife or scissors so that it reaches just above the bottom and does not kink. The cut should be slanted, so that the tube does not stick to the bottom and draws up even the last millilitres.

After filling, screw the sprayer onto the neck with an 18 mm thread and press it several times to prime it until the dip tube and nozzle fill with the liquid. The first two or three presses usually release only air.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 30 ml is the amount the bottle is intended for under normal filling. The brimful capacity listed in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dip tube of the sprayer and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Therefore, fill the bottle up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it is overfilled, part of the contents is pushed out through the thread when the sprayer is screwed on and the bottle leaks.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the glass, disinfect it with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely. Rinse the sprayer with clean water and pump it until empty, so that no water residues remain in it that would dilute the first doses.

The sprayer is intended for thin liquids. Aqueous solutions, hydrosols and alcohol-based formulations pass through the nozzle without problems. Oils, gels and emulsions with higher viscosity spray poorly or not at all, or the nozzle may produce a jet instead of a mist. For borderline formulations, we recommend checking the application on a test batch.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Let a hot mixture cool to at least room temperature before filling, and do not put a full bottle in the freezer. The bottle can be reused after washing. The sprayer lasts for several fillings if it is rinsed in between.

Closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made bottle plus closure combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with the specific formulation.

The glass bottle goes into glass recycling, the sprayer into plastics. Separate the two parts before recycling.
