Clear Glass Bottle, Matte Black Dropper With Shiny Strip, 50 ml

A glass dropper bottle with a volume of 50 ml is a ready-to-use set for dispensing liquid cosmetic preparations drop by drop. The clear glass reveals the colour and clarity of the contents, which you will appreciate with facial serums, oil blends and tinctures, where the contents should be visible. The matte black dropper with a glossy stripe gives the packaging a simple, understated look that lets the label stand out.

The set as a whole is intended for cosmetic products. Both the bottle and the dropper are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics; the declaration of conformity and test certificates are available with the product. A food contact certificate is available separately for the glass bottle; the set with dropper is not intended for food.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial serums – water-based and oil-based serums applied a few drops at a time to the face or décolleté area.
• Oil blends and facial oils – blends of plant oils, oil elixirs for hair, beard or cuticles, where the dropper allows precise application.
• Tinctures and alcoholic extracts – glass is resistant to alcohol and does not absorb the scent or colour of the contents.
• Concentrates and active solutions – preparations that are dispensed precisely and in small quantities, for example to be added to a cream before use.

How the set works

The dropper consists of a silicone bulb, a threaded plastic collar and a glass tube that reaches almost to the bottom of the bottle. Squeezing the bulb draws up the contents; releasing it dispenses drop by drop. Thin water-based serums dispense faster, so it is advisable to squeeze the bulb gently.

The dropper collar has a thread matching the bottle neck, so the set seals without additional inserts. Caps with the same thread type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.

Good to know

Clear glass does not protect the contents from light. It is therefore suitable for preparations that are less sensitive to light, or for products that the customer stores in a box or drawer. For oils prone to oxidation and for serums containing light-sensitive ingredients (for example vitamin C in ascorbic acid form or retinoids), consider amber or cobalt blue glass instead, or supplement the set with a cardboard outer packaging.

Before the first fill, wash both the bottle and the dropper, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Residual water in the tube could introduce moisture into an anhydrous oil or dilute an alcoholic tincture. The bottle can be reused after thorough cleaning. We recommend replacing the silicone dropper bulb after prolonged use if it softens or loses its elasticity.

The dropper and concentrated essential oils. Both the silicone and the plastic of the collar may alter their properties with prolonged contact with concentrated essential oils, solvents or high proportions of alcohol. With standard facial serums and diluted oil blends this is not an issue; with concentrates we recommend verifying performance on a single sample over several weeks.

Glass and heat. Do not fill the bottle with hot contents and do not expose it to sudden temperature changes. Fill only after the preparation has cooled to room temperature.

Labelling. Transparent labels also work well on clear glass, keeping the contents visible.

Glass is recycled as glass waste. The dropper is unscrewed before recycling and disposed of separately, as it combines plastic, silicone and glass.
