Amber Plastic Bottle, Silver White Spray, 10 ml

This amber plastic pharmaceutical bottle with a capacity of 10 ml and a mechanical fine mist sprayer is a ready-to-use set for small quantities of spray products. The amber colour reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, so it is also suitable for compositions with essential oils, plant extracts or other light-sensitive ingredients. The PET bottle is lightweight and does not break if dropped. The glossy white and silver sprayer gives the product an appearance that allows it to be sold or given as a gift without any further changes.

The set is intended for cosmetic products. Both parts, the bottle and the sprayer, are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. Only the bottle has a separate certificate for direct contact with food; the sprayer does not have one. The set as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial toners and hydrolates – the small volume is convenient for samples, travel or testing a new recipe before making a larger batch.
• Refreshing face and body sprays – water-based solutions with active ingredients, aloe or glycerine, applied without your hands coming into contact with the contents.
• Perfume waters and body mists – alcohol-based compositions in a travel size, or fragrance samples for customers.
• Hair sprays and leave-in conditioners – thin water-based or water-alcohol formulations that are meant to create an even mist on the hair.
• Brush cleaning sprays and small hygiene sprays – alcohol-based solutions for your handbag or make-up bag.

Filling and dispensing

The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The physical volume of the bottle up to the neck is larger. The difference provides a reserve for the sprayer tube, the closure and the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled only up to the nominal volume. If it is overfilled, part of the contents is pushed out through the thread when the sprayer is screwed on, and the bottle seals less well.

The sprayer is mechanical, works without a propellant and releases a small measured dose with each press. When using it for the first time, prime it by pressing it several times until the tube and the pump fill with the contents. The sprayer is screwed onto the neck and tightened by hand; no tools are needed.

The sprayer is designed for water-based and alcohol-based solutions with low viscosity. Thicker mixtures, gels and vegetable oils are dispensed unevenly or not at all. For an oil serum or a mixture with a higher proportion of oil, check beforehand that the sprayer produces a mist, or choose a closure with a dropper or a pump.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Residual water would dilute the contents and, in cosmetics with weaker preservation, would increase the risk of microbial contamination.

PET withstands water-based solutions, glycerine and common alcohol-based compositions. For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils or containing solvents, run a test in a single bottle. After a few weeks, check whether the wall has become cloudy, softened or deformed. Do not expose the plastic to higher temperatures; let hot products cool down before filling.

The packaging can be reused. After it has been emptied, wash it with warm water, pump clean water through the sprayer, then ethanol, and leave it to dry. When you change the recipe, this prevents fragrances from mixing.

The neck of the bottle has an 18 mm thread. You can find closures with the same type of neck and other ready-made bottle and closure combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the seal and the dispensing with your specific formulation.

The PET bottle is recyclable. The sprayer combines polypropylene and aluminium, so separate it from the bottle before disposal and hand it in according to the sorting rules in your municipality.
