Amber Plastic Bottle, Silver White Spray, 50 ml

The amber PET medicine bottle with a volume of 50 ml and the white and silver fine mist sprayer make up a set for hydrosols, facial toners and refreshing sprays. The amber plastic reduces light, so it suits contents that lose their scent or effect in sunlight: hydrosols, toners, face and body sprays, diluted alcohol solutions, hair waters and herbal infusions for cosmetic use. The sprayer with a fine nozzle breaks the liquid into a mist, so the contents are applied evenly and without dripping.

Both the bottle and the sprayer are made of plastic, so the set is light and shatterproof. You can carry it in a handbag, on trips or in a gym bag. The 50 ml volume also fits in hand luggage.

How to use the set

The sprayer screws onto the thread of the bottle. One press dispenses approximately 0.14 ml, which is enough to moisten the face or a lock of hair, so the contents are used up slowly. The white plastic head is complemented by a silver aluminium element.

The sprayer is intended for thin, watery liquids. Hydrosols, toners, aqueous solutions of active ingredients, diluted alcohol tinctures or light hair waters pass through the nozzle without problems. The nozzle cannot atomise thick serums, gels, emulsions and pure oils, and they may clog it. For oil products, a dropper or a pump is more suitable.

Nominal volume and headspace

The 50 ml figure is the nominal volume, that is, the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The actual volume up to the neck is slightly larger. The difference provides headspace for the sprayer tube and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it is filled up to the neck, part of the contents will be pushed out when the sprayer is screwed on.

Good to know

The set as a whole is declared suitable for cosmetics. The amber medicine bottle on its own has a certificate for direct contact with food, the sprayer does not, so the set is not offered for food purposes. For homemade oils, syrups or infusions, choose a bottle with a closure that has a food-contact certificate.

Before the first filling, wash and rinse the bottle and the sprayer and disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, then leave them to dry completely. Residual moisture in the packaging puts unnecessary strain on the preservative in the product. The same procedure applies to every further filling. Rinse the tube and the nozzle with clean water so that no residues of the previous contents remain in them.

For undiluted essential oils, solvents or other aggressive ingredients, we recommend testing how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation on a small sample. Do not expose the bottle to hot fills, or to heat from a radiator or a car in summer, as PET deforms at higher temperatures.

The bottle goes into separate plastic waste collection as PET. Before disposal, unscrew the sprayer and dispose of it separately, as it combines polypropylene with aluminium. Closures with the same neck type as this medicine bottle and other ready-made bottle and closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.
