Amber Plastic Bottle, White Lotion Pump, 50 ml

The amber plastic medicine bottle with a capacity of 50 ml and a white lotion pump forms ready-made packaging for creams, facial lotions, fluid emulsions and thicker serums. The contents are dispensed by pressing the pump, without opening the bottle. Amber plastic reduces the light reaching the contents, so the set is also suitable for formulations with vegetable oils, vitamins or extracts, which lose quality faster in light. The bottle is lightweight and unbreakable, which you will appreciate with samples, travel sizes or when selling at markets.

The 50 ml volume corresponds to a standard pack of face cream, hand cream or eye serum. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What the set is suitable for

• Face and eye creams – the pump dispenses a small amount, the contents do not touch your fingers and remain protected from light.
• Facial lotions and fluid emulsions – thinner textures pass through the tube smoothly and the dose stays even.
• Thicker serums and gels – for gel textures with higher viscosity, we recommend testing whether the pump draws them up without problems.
• Hand creams and topical preparations – the small volume and dark packaging suit formulations with light-sensitive active ingredients.

How it dispenses and how to fill it

The lotion pump has an 18 mm thread, which matches the neck of the bottle, and a dip tube. One press dispenses approximately 0.14 ml, which is enough for one application of eye cream or serum. For the body, press several times. With solid balms and butters the pump does not draw up the product; a jar is more suitable for them.

Fill the bottle up to the nominal volume. This is the amount the packaging is designed for in normal filling. The total volume up to the neck is larger, and the difference forms a reserve for the tube and the pump body and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. If you fill the bottle up to the neck, the contents will leak around the thread after the pump is screwed on.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the pump, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Moisture left in the tube would get into an emulsion without a preservative.

PET is not intended for hot filling. Let the emulsion cool and only then fill it. Thicker textures are easier to fill into a narrow neck with a syringe or a funnel. For formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils, alcohol or solvents, we recommend checking in advance how the plastic and the pump seal behave with your specific formulation.

The bottle on its own has a certificate for direct contact with food. The pump does not have one, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

Once empty, the set can be washed and reused. Rinse the tube and the pump body with warm water and alcohol so that no residues of the previous contents remain. The PET bottle and the PP pump belong in plastic recycling; separate them before disposal. You can find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your formulation.
