Yes, the glass medicine bottle is suitable for most common cosmetic solutions, oil blends and auxiliary solutions used in the production of natural and conventional cosmetics. Glass is a material with high chemical stability, thanks to which facial and body oils, toners, serums, hair tonics or auxiliary laboratory solutions can be safely filled into it. For very specific or more aggressive formulations, we recommend first carrying out a test filling in a smaller quantity and monitoring the stability of the product as well as the functionality of the closure.

The glass medicine bottle can be used repeatedly for different types of products, provided that hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned, all residues of the previous filling removed and then disinfected with a suitable alcoholic solution, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. This reduces the risk of microbial contamination and of the fragrance or colour of the new product being affected by residues of the previous formulation.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the material given in the product parameters. The glass part of the medicine bottle is generally placed in the container designated for glass, and it is advisable to empty the packaging of any remaining product. The closure is usually made of a different material and should be sorted according to the designation in the parameter table for the specific product on the website. By separating glass and plastic you support more efficient waste processing and minimise the environmental burden.

When filling, it is recommended to work in a clean environment, use suitable tools (funnel, measuring vessels, pipettes) and avoid contaminating the neck of the bottle, which could affect the later sealing of the closure. Do not fill the contents right up to the very top so that you leave sufficient space for closing. When storing, protect the container from extreme temperature fluctuations and mechanical impact in order to prevent damage to the glass. Always check the functionality of the closure and the sealing, especially with liquid and volatile formulations.

To choose a suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In this filter it is possible to combine several parameters at once – specifically the neck type, size, colour and material of the packaging. Thanks to this, you can easily select bottles, jars or pots that meet the functional and design requirements of your project. We recommend first determining the required neck type and material and subsequently adapting the volume and colour variant according to the character of the product.
