Clear Frosted Glass Bottle, White Nasal Spray, 30 ml

The frosted glass bottle with nasal sprayer is a set for 30 ml of thin, water-based contents, applied in small doses as a fine mist. The frosted, matte glass lets you see the liquid level, so you know how much is left in the bottle. The white pump with a long, narrow applicator releases only a small amount with each press, so it suits hydrolates, toners and refreshing sprays, where the product needs to be applied precisely and without waste. The whole set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The name “nasal sprayer” refers to the type of pump; the set is intended for cosmetic products.

How the set dispenses

The pump has an 18/410 neck finish, a dip tube and a narrow applicator. One press releases approximately 0.12 ml of contents. On first use, the pump needs several priming presses until the dip tube and chamber fill and the mist starts to come out evenly.

The pump’s dip tube is longer than the bottle itself. Before the pump is fitted, the tube is trimmed to a length at which it reaches the bottom without bending. Otherwise the pump draws in air at the end and part of the contents remains unused.

What it is suitable for

The set is designed for thin contents with a viscosity close to water. It works best with:

• Hydrolates – rose, lavender or chamomile hydrolate in a travel pack to refresh the skin during the day.
• Toners and facial waters – light water-based blends with active ingredients, applied in a small amount to the face or décolleté.
• Samples and test batches – a volume of 30 ml is enough to check a recipe or to make a sample for a customer, without filling large packaging.
• Scalp refreshers – the narrow applicator allows you to apply a water-based spray precisely between strands of hair.

Thick gel-like serums, emulsions and oils are not sprayed evenly through this type of pump and may clog it. For contents with a higher proportion of alcohol or with essential oils, we recommend checking beforehand how they react with the plastic parts of the pump made of PP, PS and LDPE.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brim-full volume is the physical volume up to the neck and can be found in the parameters. The difference provides room for the dip tube and the pump body, which take up part of the space once screwed on, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If the bottle is overfilled, the contents overflow through the thread when the pump is fitted and the closure then does not seal.

Good to know

Before the first filling, the bottle is washed, disinfected with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and left to dry completely. It is enough to rinse the pump with clean water and spray it several times so that the water comes out. Residual water in the bottle would dilute the contents and reduce their stability, and in water-based formulations without a preservative, also their microbiological stability.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. The bottle is filled with contents cooled to room temperature, not hot straight after mixing. The bottle can be reused after thorough washing. The pump cannot be cleaned on the inside, so when changing the contents we recommend replacing it with a new one, especially if it previously held a formulation with fragrance or colorant.

The empty glass bottle goes into glass recycling. The pump is made up of several plastics and a steel spring, so it is sorted separately as plastic. Closures with the same 18/410 neck finish and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
