Clear Frosted Glass Bottle with Roll-On, 50 ml

The 50 ml glass roll-on bottle is designed to be filled with fragrance oils, essential oil blends in a carrier oil, aromatherapy roll-ons and light serums that are applied directly to the skin. The set consists of three parts: a bottle made of frosted glass, a metal roller ball in a plastic socket and a black plastic cap. The frosted glass lets you see how much content is left in the bottle.

The roller ball dispenses the content in small amounts without spilling, so the roll-on is suitable for products applied to a specific spot: the wrists, temples, neck or the area behind the ear. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and the declaration of conformity is available with the product.

How the set works

The bottle has an 18/410 neck finish. After filling, the socket with the ball is fitted onto it and the cap is then screwed on. The ball is made of steel, and both the socket and the cap are made of polypropylene.

• Glass bottle – the main part of the set. Glass does not react with oils or essential oils, so it can also be used for more concentrated fragrance blends.
• Metal roller ball in a socket – it rolls on contact with the skin and transfers a thin layer of the content.
• Black cap – it closes the bottle and protects the ball from dirt and from residual content drying on its surface.

What it is suitable for

A roll-on works best with low-viscosity liquids. This bottle is particularly suitable for:

• Fragrance oils – a fragrance composition in jojoba or fractionated coconut oil, or in another carrier oil.
• Aromatherapy blends – essential oils diluted in a carrier oil for spot application.
• Light facial serums – oil-based or water-based serums without thickeners, applied to a small area.
• Cuticle oil blends – precise dispensing without a dropper.

Thick gels, creams and contents with solid particles are dispensed poorly through the ball and may clog the socket. For a thicker serum, we recommend filling one piece first and checking whether the ball transfers the content evenly.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is intended for under normal filling. The total brimful volume, stated in the parameters, is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the socket with the ball, which takes up part of the space in the neck when fitted, and for the expansion of the content with temperature changes. Fill up to the nominal volume. If the bottle were filled to the brim, the content would be pushed out when the socket is fitted.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash all three parts, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Drops of water in the bottle would end up in the oil-based contents.

The set can be used repeatedly. Once removed, the socket with the ball is harder to clean than the bottle itself, and oil residues in it retain the scent of the previous content. When changing the fragrance, it is worth replacing the socket with a new one. For concentrated essential oils or blends with a high proportion of alcohol, we recommend checking how the socket behaves after several weeks of contact with the particular formulation.

The glass bottle belongs in glass recycling, while the plastic parts and the ball are separated before recycling. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made bottle + closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend testing the seal and dispensing directly with your formulation.
