Clear Frosted Glass Bottle, Black Lotion Pump with Black Overcap, 30 ml

Glass bottle, frosted, with lotion pump, 30 ml is a ready-to-fill set for creams, emulsions and thicker serums that are dispensed by pressing the pump, with no need to unscrew anything. The frosted, translucent matte glass lets the contents show through as a silhouette, so you can see how much product is left. The black plastic pump closes the neck and dispenses the contents in small doses, which suits typical use in face and eye-area care.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. It is not intended for contact with food.

What it is good for

The 30 ml volume suits products that are used in small amounts and are consumed within several weeks to months. It is particularly suitable for:

• Face creams and emulsions – day and night creams, lighter and medium-thick textures that the pump can dispense.
• Thicker serums and gel creams – a creamy or gel consistency that is applied in small doses.
• Eye creams – a small dose per press corresponds to the amount usually applied to the eye area.
• Tinted creams and BB creams – thick textures where dispensing without touching the contents with your fingers is useful.
• Samples and test batches – the volume is enough to verify a formulation without filling a larger package.

Thin liquids such as toners, hydrosols or liquid oils do not belong in this set. The pump is designed for creamy textures and with watery contents it may drip or dispense uneven doses.

Filling and dispensing

The bottle is filled up to the nominal volume, that is, the volume the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The brimful capacity is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between the two values is a reserve for the dip tube and the pump body and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. If you filled it to the brim, part of the contents would be pushed out when the pump is screwed on.

When using the pump for the first time, press it several times until the dip tube fills and the mechanism starts to dispense the contents. The pump may not be able to draw creams with a very firm texture or balms with a high proportion of wax, so test the behaviour on a small amount for such formulations.

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and pump, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Moisture in the bottle would dilute the contents and reduce the stability of the finished product.

Good to know

• Dose per press – approximately 0.14 ml, which lets you estimate how many applications one fill will last.
• Frosted glass – it partially hides the contents, but it does not replace dark glass. Store light-sensitive formulations away from direct sunlight or fill them into dark glass.
• Plastic and essential oils – the dip tube and the pump mechanism are made of polypropylene. For formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils or solvents, check compatibility and tightness with your specific formulation.
• Reuse – the glass can be refilled after washing and disinfection. Rinse the pump with warm water and press it several times, as residues of the old product in the dip tube may contaminate the new fill.
• Recycling – the bottle belongs in glass waste, the pump is plastic and must be separated from the bottle before disposal.

You can find closures with the same neck finish and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
