Amber Matte Glass Bottle, Glossy White Dropper, 30 ml

A matte amber glass medicine bottle with a volume of 30 ml and a white glossy dropper makes a ready-to-use set for filling and dispensing facial serums, oil concentrates and essential oil blends. The amber glass reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, the matte surface reduces glare, and the dropper lets you measure out exactly as much as you need. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Facial serums and oil concentrates – 30 ml is a common serum size, the dropper dispenses drop by drop, and the contents do not spill out unnecessarily.
• Essential oil blends – aromatherapy blends and perfume concentrates are dispensed by the drop, and the amber glass slows their degradation by light.
• Cosmetic tinctures and alcohol extracts – glass does not react with alcohol, and the dropper is suitable for adding precise amounts to creams or toners.
• Samples and small batches – when testing formulations, 30 ml can be filled without wasting much raw material, and the medicine bottles are easy to label clearly.

How the set works

The dropper consists of a glass tube, a white glossy plastic closure with a thread, and a silicone bulb that draws the contents up and squeezes them out. The length of the dropper matches the height of the medicine bottle. Both the bottle and the dropper have an 18/410 neck finish, so the dropper can be replaced at any time with another closure that has the same neck type. You can find closures with this neck and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the medicine bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck, and you can find it in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper, which takes up part of the space once screwed in, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill the medicine bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash the medicine bottle and the dropper, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and let them dry completely. Any remaining water would bring moisture into an oil serum.
• Glass and heat – do not pour hot phases into the medicine bottle. Let the formulation cool down first, because a sudden change in temperature can damage the glass.
• Dropper and more demanding contents – with concentrated essential oils or solvents, check in advance how the silicone bulb and the plastic closure behave with the specific blend, especially during longer storage.
• Reuse – both the glass and the dropper can be used again after thorough cleaning and disinfection. When changing the contents, make sure that no residues of the previous blend remain in the tube and the bulb.
• Food contact – the set is intended for cosmetics. Neither the bottle nor the dropper has a food contact certificate, so this set is not recommended for homemade oils or syrups.
• Recycling – the bottle belongs in glass recycling. Separate the dropper before disposal, because it combines glass, plastic and silicone.
