Amber Round Sirup Glass Bottle, PP28, 1000 ml, 14 pieces

Amber glass medicine bottle, 28 mm, 1000 ml

A 1 l bottle for larger batches of raw materials and finished products that need to stay protected from light. Amber glass filters light, so it suits vegetable oils, macerated oils, tinctures, hydrosols and toners, as well as body oils, cleansing waters and shower gels made in larger quantities. The uniform medicine bottle shape stores neatly side by side on a shelf, and the neck with a 28 mm thread accepts a cap, a pump or a sprayer.

The packaging has a certificate for direct food contact, so it can also be used for homemade oils, syrups, vinegars and herbal infusions. Suitability for cosmetic products is documented by the declaration of conformity for the product. The glass comes from the European Union. It is sold in a pack of 14, and the price is for the whole pack.

What it is suitable for

• Stocks of oils and macerated oils – light-sensitive vegetable oils (flaxseed, rosehip, hemp) and herbal oil macerates lose quality more slowly in amber glass than in a clear bottle.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – glass does not react with ethanol or with essential oils, so the packaging changes neither the scent nor the colour of the contents.
• Hydrosols, toners and facial waters – water-based products can be stored in larger volumes and decanted into smaller bottles as needed.
• Finished products for salons and workshops – massage oils, thinner body lotions or liquid soaps for refilling dispensers.
• Raw material stock in the workshop – the same bottle shape makes it easier to keep track of items and arrange them on a shelf.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume of 1000 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a margin for the closure, pump or sprayer and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If you are topping up with warm oils, leave a larger margin and tighten the closure only after the contents have cooled.

Closures

The bottle fits closures with the same neck type as stated in the parameters, and ready-made bottle + closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. If you are making your own combination, check the tightness, the dispensing behaviour and the compatibility of the closure with your specific formulation in advance, especially with concentrated essential oils and alcohol extracts.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle with warm water and washing-up liquid, rinse it, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it upside down to dry completely. Moisture in the bottle shortens the shelf life of both water-based and oil-based products. Repeat the same procedure before each further use.

Amber glass protects against light, but it does not replace a preservative or an antioxidant. Water-based products in a 1 l volume must be preserved in the same way as in smaller packs, and for oils prone to yellowing, adding an antioxidant will help.

Do not carry a filled 1 l bottle by the neck; support it from underneath. Store it in a dry, clean environment. Glass is fully recyclable and, once cleaned, belongs in glass collection.
