Amber Round Sirup Glass Bottle, 28 mm, White Pump, 100 ml

A glass medicine bottle with a pump dispenses serums, lotions and oils with a single press, without opening the bottle. The set consists of an amber glass medicine bottle with a nominal volume of 100 ml and a white plastic pump with a dip tube that fits the neck of the bottle. Amber glass dampens light, so it suits products sensitive to sunlight.

One press of the pump delivers approximately 1 ml. That amount suits face and body lotions, serums, cleansing gels, liquid hand soaps, or face and massage oils. The product is dispensed without opening the bottle, fingers do not touch the contents and the dose stays the same with every use. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. The certificate for direct food contact applies to the glass bottle on its own; the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

• Face and body lotions – liquid and medium-thick emulsions pass through the pump without problems, and a 1 ml dose matches a typical single application.
• Serums and toners with active ingredients – amber glass limits the light reaching contents with vitamin C, retinol or plant extracts, which lose their effectiveness in light.
• Face, hair and massage oils – the oil is dispensed without spilling, and the bottle does not need to be tilted or opened.
• Liquid soaps and cleansing gels – at the sink, the product is dispensed with one hand, the packaging stays closed and the contents are less likely to become contaminated.
• Samples and small runs – a volume of 100 ml is enough for first batches, recipe testing or a gift pack.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. Total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the dip tube and the immersed part of the pump, as well as for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If the bottle is overfilled, part of the contents is pushed out through the neck when the pump is screwed on, and the thread gets soiled.

Filling and handling the pump

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. It is enough to rinse the pump with clean water and pump it several times so that the remaining water runs out of the dip tube. Pour emulsions and oils in through a funnel so that the thread stays clean and the pump seals well.

After screwing the pump on, press it several times without product. The dip tube first fills with the product, and only then does the pump begin to dispense the full amount. If the dip tube touches the bottom and bends, shorten it with a sharp knife so that it ends just above the bottom.

Good to know

Glass tolerates cleaning with hot water, but not sudden temperature changes. Let the emulsion cool to room temperature before filling, as the hot phase could damage a cold bottle. The pump is made of polypropylene. For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol or other solvents, we recommend checking how the seal and the mechanism behave with the specific contents.

After washing and disinfection, the bottle can be filled again. Before reuse, pump warm water through the pump until clean water comes out, and leave it to dry. Dried emulsion residues in the mechanism reduce the dose or block the pump.

You will find closures with the same neck type as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations of bottle and closure, in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation. After you finish using them, separate the bottle and the pump: glass goes with glass and the pump with plastics.
