Clear Frosted Glass Bottle, Glossy Gold Black Pump With Clear Overcap, 30 ml

This 30 ml frosted glass bottle with a glossy black and gold pump and a clear overcap is designed for facial serums, light emulsions, fluids and oil serums. The product is dispensed in small doses without contact with your fingers. Frosted glass reduces light, while you can still see the level of the contents, so you know how much product remains.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and you will find the declarations of conformity for both components with the product. The set is not approved for contact with food.

The set in practice

• Dispensing – one press delivers approximately 0.3 ml. For a facial or décolletage serum, this corresponds to one or two doses per application, so the contents are not used up faster than necessary.
• Hygiene – the product leaves the bottle only through the tube and the pump head. For formulations with a higher proportion of water phase, this reduces the risk of introducing contaminants.
• Protection of the contents – frosted glass lets through less light than clear glass. For products with light-sensitive ingredients that are stored for a long time, dark or fully opaque packaging remains more suitable.
• Appearance – the glossy black and gold pump with a clear overcap gives the bottle a finished look without further modification. This is appreciated especially by small-scale makers who sell or give away their products.

Filling and capacity

The bottle is filled to its nominal volume, that is, to 30 ml. The brimful capacity given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The space above the liquid level is needed by the tube and the internal mechanism of the pump, and it also serves as a reserve when the temperature changes. If you fill the bottle to the brim, part of the contents will be pushed out through the neck when you screw on the pump.

Before the first filling, wash the glass, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. It is enough to rinse the pump several times with clean water or alcohol and leave it to drain with the head facing down.

Good to know

A pump with a tube works best with products of low to medium viscosity: serums, fluids, oils and light emulsions. Thick creams, high-viscosity gels or products with particles (scrubs, coarser powders) will not be drawn up by the tube or will clog the mechanism. For borderline textures, fill one bottle as a test and check whether the pump delivers an even dose after a few presses.

The pump is not a leak-proof closure for travel. During transport, secure it with the clear overcap and carry the bottle upright, especially with oil-based contents, which easily seep into the thread.

The glass can be reused. Before a new filling, wash the bottle, remove any residues of the previous contents and disinfect it again. A pump with a tube is harder to clean, so when you change the formulation or after oil-based contents, it is safer to use a new one. The glass belongs in glass recycling; the pump combines plastic with aluminium and is sorted according to the instructions of your municipality.

The bottle on its own can also be combined with other closures with the same neck type, which you will find in the parameters. Handymade offers ready-made bottle and closure combinations as separate items. If you make your own combination, check the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.
