Blue Glass Bottle, Black Fine Mist Sprayer, Smoky Overcap, 50 ml

This blue glass bottle with a capacity of 50 ml and a black spray head is a ready-made set for your own sprays: facial mists, toners, hydrosols, hair sprays or fresheners for textiles and interiors. The blue glass reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, helping to protect ingredients sensitive to its effects – for example hydrosols, water-based solutions with active substances, or alcohol-based preparations with essential oils. The spray head disperses the contents into a fine mist, so it is applied evenly and without the hands touching the product. The smoke-tinted cap protects the nozzle from dust and accidental pressing and completes the dark bottle in a unified look.

The set, as well as both of its parts separately, are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

Why choose this set

• Protection from light – blue glass lets through less light than clear glass, which slows the breakdown of light-sensitive ingredients and helps keep the scent and effectiveness of the contents for longer.
• Glass does not react with the contents – the bottle can be filled with both water-based and alcohol-based preparations, including blends with essential oils, which could over time damage or cloud a plastic bottle.
• A fine mist instead of a stream – the spray head releases a small dose with each press, so the product is not wasted and the layer on the skin, hair or textile is thin and even.
• A ready, tested combination – the spray head is matched to the neck of the bottle, so you do not have to worry about thread compatibility or search separately for a suitable closure. In the e-shop you will also find other ready-made closure combinations for a bottle with the same type of neck.
• Practical format – 50 ml fits into a handbag or travel pouch and at the same time is enough for several weeks of regular use of a facial mist.

What products the set is suitable for

The spray head works best with thin, watery contents. It is therefore suitable for hydrosols and floral waters, facial and body mists, toners both without and with alcohol, hair sprays for easier detangling, textile sprays, pillow scents, natural air fresheners or alcohol-based hand sanitiser sprays.

Conversely, oils, thicker serums and emulsions are not suitable for this type of closure. Oil will not be dispersed into a mist in the nozzle, it comes out in droplets or as a stream and the mechanism quickly clogs. For oil-based products a bottle with a dropper or a pump is more suitable.

If you want to get a small amount of oil or essential oils into the spray, you first need to dissolve them in the water base using a solubiliser (for example Polysorbate 20 or Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate). Undissolved oil would separate in the bottle and the spray head would not be able to dose it evenly.

Nominal and total volume

With packaging you will come across two volume figures. The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling – 50 ml for this bottle. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume all the way to the neck and is somewhat larger. The difference between them is a reserve for the tube and the spray mechanism, which take up part of the space once screwed on, and also for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim – otherwise part of the contents is pushed out when the spray head is fitted and the thread gets dirty.

What is good to know when working with the set

Before the first filling, wash and disinfect both the bottle and the spray head – it is enough to rinse them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Moisture left in the bottle would dilute the contents and unnecessarily burden the preservative system.

Glass handles ordinary temperature differences, but it does not like a sudden change in temperature. Pour a hydrosol from the fridge or a hot solution into a bottle at room temperature and never put it in the freezer. The spray head is made of plastic, so do not use hot water on it – alcohol and drying are enough.

The spray head's tube reaches all the way to the bottom of the bottle, so you use up all the contents. Store the bottle neck up, so that the contents do not flow into the nozzle; with salt solutions it could crystallise there.

When recycling, the glass goes with glass and the spray head with plastics – unscrew it from the bottle before disposal.
