Amber Plastic Bottle, Silver White Spray, 30 ml

The amber plastic bottle with a fine mist sprayer is intended for liquid cosmetic products that are sprayed onto the skin or hair or into the air: facial toners and hydrosols, hair sprays, body mists, and fragrance or disinfectant sprays containing alcohol. The 30 ml volume is enough for a trial batch, a customer sample or a handbag-size pack.

The bottle is shaped like a medicine bottle and is made of PET. It is light and, unlike glass, does not break when dropped. The amber colour dampens light, so light-sensitive contents, such as hydrosols with plant extracts or blends with essential oils, stay in good condition longer than in clear packaging. The sprayer has a glossy white and silver finish that gives the set a coherent look without any further decoration.

Suitable uses

• Facial toners and hydrosols – water-based solutions without thickeners spray evenly. A fine mist spreads over the face without a cotton pad.
• Hair sprays and refreshers – thin solutions for smoothing hair or hydrating sprays for curly hair, where a small amount per press is ideal.
• Sprays containing alcohol – body and room fragrances, disinfectant sprays for hands or for a yoga mat. PET normally tolerates diluted alcohol solutions; with a higher alcohol content, check compatibility on a single piece first.
• Samples and travel packs – a small volume lets you quickly try out a new formulation or hand out testers without using up a more expensive raw material on a large batch.

Filling and dispensing

The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The bottle should therefore be filled up to the nominal volume, not to the brim of the neck. The remaining space up to the neck is a reserve for the sprayer’s dip tube and for slight expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. An overfilled bottle overflows when the sprayer is screwed on, and part of the contents is left on the thread.

One press of the sprayer releases approximately 0.14 ml. That is enough for one spritz of the face or to refresh the hair. On first use, press the sprayer several times to prime it until the dip tube fills and the mist comes out evenly. The dip tube is longer than the bottle, so it bends at the bottom. If it gets in the way, shorten it with a diagonal cut so that it ends just above the bottom.

Good to know

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The bottle on its own is certified for direct food contact; the sprayer is not. The set as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetics.

Before the first filling, rinse the bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual water would dilute the contents and, in products without a preservative, shorten their shelf life. The same procedure applies to repeated use. In addition, rinse the dip tube and the sprayer nozzle with clean water so that no residues of the previous contents remain in them.

PET tolerates common cosmetic water-based and alcohol-based solutions. However, undiluted essential oils, higher concentrations of fragrance compositions and solvents put a strain on the plastic. With such contents, check compatibility on a single piece and watch whether the bottle turns cloudy or soft.

Closures with the same neck finish as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made bottle + closure combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the seal and the dispensing with your specific formulation. At the end of its life, dispose of the bottle in plastic recycling as PET. The sprayer combines polypropylene with aluminium, so unscrew it from the bottle before disposal.
