Amber Round Sirup Glass Bottle, Rose Gold Aluminium Cap, 250 ml

The amber glass bottle with a volume of 250 ml and a rose gold aluminium cap is designed for larger packs of liquid cosmetics: body and massage oils, facial waters, toners, hydrosols or alcohol-based tinctures. Amber glass reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, which helps with products sensitive to oxidation, such as vegetable oils or preparations containing essential oils. The cap screws onto the bottle, and the metal surface gives the packaging a look that holds up well in a retail range or a gift series.

The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The certificate for direct food contact applies only to the glass bottle; the aluminium cap does not carry this declaration. We therefore recommend using the set for cosmetics.

What it is suitable for

• Oils and oil blends – dark glass protects vegetable oils, body oil serums and massage blends from light.
• Toners, hydrosols and facial waters – the 250 ml volume matches a common pack size for water-based preparations used every day.
• Alcohol-based preparations and tinctures – the glass withstands alcohol without any change in appearance.
• Home production and small-scale professional production – the same packaging works for your own supply as well as for smaller batches intended for sale.

Volume and filling

Nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between the two leaves room for the closure 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. With oils and alcohol-based preparations this matters: the contents expand when warmed, and a bottle filled to the neck would press against the seal once the cap is tightened.

Cap and seal

The aluminium cap has an inner sealing liner made of polyethylene foam (EPE) that sits on the rim of the neck and prevents the contents from leaking. It is enough to tighten the cap by hand until you feel slight resistance. Overtightening does not improve the seal and may damage the liner or deform the metal edge.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you combine a bottle and a closure yourself, we recommend checking the seal with your specific formulation.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash and disinfect the bottle and the cap, then let them dry completely. Residual water in an oil-based preparation shortens its shelf life.
• Reuse – after thorough washing and disinfection, the glass can be used repeatedly. Check the sealing liner in the cap and replace the cap if the liner is visibly damaged or soaked through.
• Glass and heat – do not pour hot mixtures into the bottle and do not expose it to sudden changes in temperature. A sharp temperature difference can crack the glass, so let the contents cool before filling.
• Handling during shipping – a glass bottle is heavier than a plastic one. Protect it with packing material when sending it to customers.
• Recycling – the bottle belongs with glass and the cap with metals. Separate them before disposal.
