Product description

Small glass bottle with a volume of 30 ml and an 18/410 neck finish, supplied in a carton of 264 pcs. Frosted glass diffuses direct light, yet the contents remain visible as a silhouette, so the customer can see the colour of the serum or the level of the oil. The carton pack suits producers who fill smaller batches of facial serums, face and cuticle oils, perfume oils and samples.

Glass does not react with the contents, does not let air through and does not absorb fragrances, so the bottle withstands water-based, alcohol-based and oil-based fills, including blends with essential oils. The packaging is suitable for contact with cosmetic products. You will find the declaration of conformity and the certificate of analysis (CoA) with the product.


Suitable uses

  • Facial serums and concentrates – 30 ml is a common serum size with a dropper or pump.
  • Facial and massage oils in small packs – glass does not degrade oil fills even after prolonged contact.
  • Perfume oils and aromatic blends – neither ethanol nor essential oils damage glass.
  • Samples and travel packs – the small volume is useful for testing a new formulation with customers before a larger batch.
  • Toners and facial waters in a mini pack – with a fine mist sprayer for an 18 mm neck you get a travel spray.

Volume and filling

Nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. Brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper or the pump dip tube, for the air cushion under the closure and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. With a dropper, the glass tube displaces part of the volume upwards and an overfilled bottle overflows when closed.


Choosing a closure

The bottle has an 18/410 neck finish. You will find closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made bottle and closure combinations, in our range. If you are making your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the smoothness of dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation, for example whether a thick oil can be drawn up through the chosen dropper at all.


Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottles, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry thoroughly upside down. Residual water in an anhydrous oil or in a serum without a preservative is a common cause of cloudiness and spoilage.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature differences. Let a hot emulsion cool to at least lukewarm before filling and do not pour it into cold bottles straight from the fridge.

Frosted glass diffuses light, but it is not a substitute for amber or blue glass. For light-sensitive ingredients such as retinoids, vitamin C or unstable oils, choose dark packaging or keep the bottle in a box.


Frequently asked questions

Does a frosted glass bottle protect the contents from light?
Partially. The matte surface diffuses direct light, so the contents are not exposed as they would be in clear glass, but coloured glass lets through considerably less light. Frosted bottles are suited to formulations that are not particularly light-sensitive, or to products that the customer stores in a box or a cupboard anyway.
How much can you actually fill into a 30 ml glass bottle?
Fill to 30 ml, which is the nominal volume. Physically the bottle holds more, but the reserve above the nominal volume is there for the dropper, the pump and the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. An overfilled bottle overflows when the dropper is screwed in and the pump may not fit on it correctly.
Is the 30 ml glass bottle suitable for essential oils and alcohol-based blends?
Yes. Glass does not react with ethanol or essential oils and does not absorb their fragrance, so it suits perfume oils, alcohol-based facial toners and blends with a higher proportion of essential oils. Only the closure needs to be checked, because seals and droppers made of some plastics can swell in strong solvents.
Can the 30 ml glass bottle be reused?
Yes, after thorough washing and disinfection with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Glass can be washed even in warmer water and does not retain residues of the previous fill. For repeated filling, we recommend replacing the dropper or the pump, because the rubber bulb and the tube cannot be cleaned reliably.
What closure fits a glass bottle with an 18/410 neck finish?
Any closure with an 18/410 neck finish, that is a dropper, a pump, a fine mist sprayer or a cap with the same designation. The neck type is stated in the packaging parameters. With thick oils and gel serums, we recommend testing the dispensing in advance, because a narrow dropper draws up a thick fill slowly.
Can I pour a warm cream or emulsion into the 30 ml glass bottle?
Not straight from the pot. A sudden temperature difference can crack the glass, so let the emulsion cool before filling and keep the bottles at room temperature. In addition, creams are not suited to a bottle with a dropper because of their high viscosity; they are better filled into a jar or into a bottle with a pump.
