Yes, the glass bottle with dropper is suitable for most oil-based and mixed formulations containing natural oils, plant extracts and active ingredients. Glass is generally a stable and inert material that helps protect more sensitive components. Nevertheless, we always recommend carrying out your own stability test with the specific formula, especially if it contains unusual or highly concentrated raw materials.

The packaging can be used repeatedly if strict hygiene rules are followed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dropper must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable agent, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured vegetable. After disinfection, leave all parts to dry completely at room temperature. When changing the product type (for example switching from a perfume oil to a facial serum), we recommend considering the use of a new bottle in order to minimise the risk of residual odours or components.

Before first use, we recommend rinsing the bottle mechanically with a suitable cleaning agent, rinsing it thoroughly with clean water and then letting it dry. After drying, it is advisable to disinfect the packaging and the dropper using an alcohol solution, for example with the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured vegetable. Perform disinfection at room temperature to avoid thermal shock to the glass, and before filling make sure that no residues of the disinfectant remain inside.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the material composition specified in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle can usually be placed in the glass container after emptying and basic cleaning. The dropper may contain a combination of materials (glass, plastic, rubber), so it is advisable to disassemble it where possible and sort the individual parts according to the type of material. Always check the instructions for the specific method of sorting and recycling in accordance with local rules and according to the information in the parameter table for the product on the Handymade.sk website.

For easier selection, we recommend using the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the advanced filter you can clearly choose parameters such as neck type, size, colour or packaging material. This allows you to quickly find bottles, medicine bottles, jars or other containers that will best match your product and the required dosing method.
