The glass pharma bottle is suitable for packing a wide range of cosmetic formulations including serums, oils and products with a higher proportion of active ingredients. Before final use, we always recommend preparing a small test batch, filling it into the packaging and monitoring the stability of texture, colour and fragrance over time. In this way, you will verify the optimal compatibility of the specific formula with the packaging and the dispenser.

Yes, the glass pharma bottle can be reused provided that hygienic principles are followed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96% denatured, plant-based. Only after the inner surface and the dispenser have completely dried is the packaging ready to be refilled, which minimizes the risk of microbial contamination.

We recommend cleaning the dispenser gently in order to preserve the functionality of the pump mechanism. The internal parts of the mechanism should not be forcibly disassembled. In practice, repeated rinsing with lukewarm water and a mild non-foaming cleanser has proven effective, followed by thorough rinsing with clean water and finally disinfection with a small amount of alcohol, which you pump through the mechanism. After rinsing, leave the dispenser to dry completely in an upright position.

If you decide not to use the packaging any longer, we recommend including it in the recycling stream according to the material specified in the product specifications. The glass part can generally be disposed of in the container designated for the relevant type of glass after removing any product residues and, if applicable, separating the plastic or metal dispenser. The dispenser, which contains plastic and metal components, should be recycled according to local waste collection regulations. Always follow the material indication in the parameter table for the specific product on Handymade and the local recycling guidelines.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging material category. In this filter, you can easily narrow down the selection according to parameters such as neck type, size, colour or packaging material. Thanks to the combination of these criteria, you will quickly find the bottle, pharma bottle or jar that best suits your formulation and method of application.
