Yes, the glass medicine bottle can be safely reused if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to minimise the risk of microbial contamination and impact on product stability. For disinfection we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, which you will also find in our range. After rinsing and drying the bottle, it is advisable to check the functionality of the thread and the integrity of the closure. When switching to a completely different type of formulation (e.g. different pH, high oil or alcohol content), we recommend using new packaging.

After emptying the contents, first clean the bottle mechanically – rinse it with a suitable cleaning agent and warm water, and if necessary use a brush to remove residues of the product. Then rinse the packaging with clean water and leave it to drain. Before new filling, it is necessary to disinfect both the bottle and the closure with alcohol and let them air-dry. In our range you will find, for example, isopropyl alcohol IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol Ethanol 96 % denatured, which are suitable for hygienic preparation of packaging before filling. Make sure that no residues of cleaning agent or water remain inside, as these could affect the composition of the final product.

The glass medicine bottle with aluminium cap is ideal for smaller batches of concentrated preparations, where precise dosing and protection of the formula are important. In practice, it is often used for packaging facial serums with active ingredients, concentrated oil boosters, herbal macerates or tinctures intended for external use (for example for compresses or local applications). Thanks to the quality closure, it is also suitable for samples and test formulations which you need to monitor over a longer period within product stability testing. When working with highly concentrated essential oils or alcohol solutions, we recommend performing a compatibility test to verify sealing and the long-term behaviour of the packaging.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend recycling it responsibly according to the material type indicated in the product parameters. The glass bottle is usually placed in the glass container after emptying and basic rinsing, and the aluminium cap belongs in metal waste or according to local sorting rules. Before placing it in sorted waste, remove any product residues and separate the individual parts of the packaging (glass and metal). By recycling the material instead of throwing it into mixed waste, you help to reduce the amount of waste and support the reuse of raw materials. Always adapt specific sorting recommendations to the waste collection system in your municipality or city.

For easy selection of suitable packaging, an advanced filter is available in the packaging material categories. After clicking on the selected category, a clear filter panel appears at the top of the page, where you can sort products according to several parameters. The most important options include filtering by type and size of neck, overall size of the packaging, colour and material used. Thanks to this, you can quickly narrow down the offer to bottles, jars or pots that correspond to your formula and the visual style of your brand. In the case of specific requirements, we recommend combining several filters at once and then checking the product details and the packaging quality certificate.
