Blue Glass Bottle, White Lotion Pump, 100 ml

The blue glass pharmaceutical bottle with pump is designed for creams, body lotions, serums and light emulsions that you want to dispense without opening the packaging. The white pump delivers a small dose with each press, so you do not touch the contents with your fingers and the rest in the bottle stays clean. The set with a nominal volume of 100 ml is sold as a whole. Both the bottle and the pump are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Face and body creams – the lotion pump also handles thicker emulsions that would be difficult to remove from an ordinary bottle with a cap.
• Body lotions – more fluid emulsions are dispensed evenly and without spilling.
• Serums and gels – a small dose corresponds to one application to the face, so nothing is wasted.
• Cleansing emulsions and cleansing milks – the contents can be dispensed from the bottle hygienically, even with wet hands.

Very thin, water-based contents such as toners and hydrolates may pour uncontrollably from a lotion pump. Sprayers or droppers are more suitable for them. Thick ointments and anhydrous balms that solidify at room temperature are generally not pushed out by the pump.

Filling and volume

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. Brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and can be found in the parameters. The difference between them provides a reserve for the dip tube and the body of the pump and for possible expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Before first use, check that the dip tube reaches the bottom of the bottle. The pump needs several presses before it primes and starts to dispense the contents. With thicker creams this takes slightly longer. One dose is approximately 0.14 ml, which is enough for face creams and serums. For body lotions, press the pump several times as needed.

Good to know

Preparation before filling. We recommend washing the new bottle and pump, disinfecting them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leaving them to dry completely. Residual water in the packaging could affect the stability of the emulsion.

Heat and glass. Let a hot emulsion cool to at least lukewarm before filling. Sudden heating of cold glass can cause it to crack, and warm contents will condense under the pump after closing.

Pump and formulation composition. The pump is made of polypropylene, which withstands common emulsions and vegetable oils without problems. With a higher proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend verifying the behaviour of the pump with your specific recipe, especially the tightness and smoothness of dispensing after several weeks.

Replacement closure. The set is supplied with a pump. If you want to use the bottle with a different closure, choose according to the neck type given in the parameters. You can find ready-made combinations of bottle and closure in the Handymade range. With your own combination, verify the tightness and dispensing with your formulation.

Reuse and recycling. After thorough washing and disinfection, you can refill the glass bottle. The pump is harder to clean, because emulsion residues remain in the dip tube and the mechanism. When changing the product or after longer use, we recommend replacing it with a new one. When disposing of them, separate the glass from the plastic pump; each part goes into its own separate waste collection.
