Yes, the glass bottle can be used repeatedly if handled correctly and if hygiene principles are followed. Before each new filling, however, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and disinfect the packaging, ideally using a suitable alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or 96 % denatured plant ethanol. This reduces the risk of microbial contamination and of affecting the stability of your formulation.

First, mechanically clean the bottle from the residues of the original product, then wash it with a suitable cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly with clean water. After drying, we recommend disinfecting the inner surface, the neck and the related components using alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or 96 % plant denatured ethanol. When reusing, always take into account the nature of the new formulation and the possible need for your own validation test.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend recycling it according to the recommendations listed in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle is usually placed in a container designated for glass once it has been freed from product residues. The dispenser is usually composed of several components (plastic, partial metal layer, spring), and is therefore generally sorted according to the predominant material in line with local waste collection rules. Always follow the recycling symbols and the information given for the specific product on the Handymade.sk website.

The bottle with dispenser is particularly suitable for liquid and slightly viscous preparations where precise and hygienic application is important – for example for facial serums, light emulsions, treatment fluids, facial oil blends or specialized preparations for specific skin areas. Before final implementation, we recommend testing the behaviour of the particular formulation in contact with the packaging and the dispensing mechanism (compatibility, dosing, long-term stability).

To select a suitable bottle, vial or jar, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging material category. In the advanced filter, you can filter the packaging by neck type, size, colour and material, which allows you to quickly find the combination that best matches your formulation and the desired design. The filter enables you to compare several solutions and thus choose the optimal packaging for your product.

This type of dispenser is primarily designed for liquid to medium-light emulsions and serums. For significantly thicker creams, dosing may be limited or less comfortable. We always recommend carrying out a trial filling with a smaller amount of product to verify whether the dispenser ensures smooth operation, a sufficient volume per dose, and whether the outlet does not become clogged during long-term use.
