Clear Glass Bottle, Glossy White Dropper, 5 ml

Glass dropper bottle 5 ml is a complete packaging and closure set for products dispensed drop by drop: facial serums, oil concentrates of active ingredients, essential oil blends, tinctures, or samples during recipe development. The dropper with its glass tube measures out exactly as much as needed, and the small bottle volume corresponds to the amount typically consumed with such products.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. It is also suitable for presenting samples and small gift sets.

Key benefits

• Drop-by-drop dispensing – the glass tube picks up a small amount and releases it drop by drop precisely where needed, without spilling. For concentrates where small quantities are used, this is essential.
• Glass with no effect on the contents – it does not react with oils, essential oils, or alcohol-based solutions, making it suitable even for contents that could damage regular plastic.
• Small volume – with expensive active ingredients and test batches, only as much as will be used is filled, with no unnecessary residue.
• Contents visible – clear glass shows colour, cloudiness, or sediment, making product inspection easier.
• Neutral appearance – the white glossy dropper can be combined with various labels and packaging styles.

How the set works

The dropper consists of a threaded plastic collar, a silicone bulb, and a glass tube. The collar screws onto the bottle like a regular cap. The tube reaches almost to the bottom, so the contents can be drawn up even at a low level. Squeezing the silicone bulb draws the contents into the tube and dispenses them drop by drop where needed.

The bottle has a nominal volume, meaning the volume it is designed for during normal filling, and a total volume to the brim, which is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper tube when inserted into the bottle and for any expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. It should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents will overflow when the dropper is fitted.

Suitable for products such as

• Facial serums and oil concentrates – dispensed drop by drop, and the small volume limits contact with air during repeated opening.
• Essential oil blends and fragrance compositions – glass does not absorb them or alter their scent, and the dropper makes precise measurement into a recipe easier.
• Tinctures and alcohol-based extracts – alcohol does not damage glass, and drop-by-drop dispensing corresponds to how tinctures are typically used.
• Samples and test packagings – during recipe development or when sending samples to customers, 5 ml is a practical size.
• Cuticle oils, eyebrow and eyelash care – products where only a few drops are applied.

Good to know

Clear glass does not protect the contents from light. Store light-sensitive products in the dark or in a box. If the product is to stand on a shelf in the light, a brown or blue glass bottle is more suitable.

Cleaning and reuse. Before first filling, wash the bottle and dropper, rinse with clean water, and disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For the tube, rinsing by drawing alcohol through it a few times is sufficient. Allow all parts to dry completely so that residual water does not get into the product. After thorough cleaning, the bottle can be used again. If the silicone bulb of the dropper has changed shape or colour, replace the dropper.

For a 5 ml volume, a narrow label with the most essential information and a QR code or link to details works well.

Recycling. The glass bottle goes in the glass recycling bin. Separate the dropper before recycling, as it combines plastic, silicone, and a glass tube.
