Clear Glass Bottle, White Lotion Pump, 15 ml

This glass bottle with a white lotion pump holds 15 ml of finished product and dispenses it in small doses, with no need to scoop it out with a finger or spatula. Clear glass shows the colour and consistency of the contents, and the pump keeps the rest of the product enclosed in the packaging. The set suits eye creams, concentrated serums, light creams and gel textures, that is, products applied in small amounts where every dose counts.

What it is good for

• Eye creams and eye contour creams – a small dose corresponds to the amount normally applied around one eye, and the contents do not come into contact with fingers.
• Concentrated serums and creams with active ingredients – expensive ingredients are dispensed precisely and less air reaches the contents than in a jar.
• Samples and trial batches – the volume is enough to test a recipe with customers or to use as a travel size.
• Light gels and fluids – thinner textures pass through the pump tube without resistance.

How the pump works

One press dispenses approximately 0.14 ml. The contents are drawn up through the tube from the bottom, so the bottle does not need to be tilted and almost the entire volume is used. When using it for the first time, press the pump several times without product until the tube fills.

How well the product dispenses depends on the thickness of the texture. Thinner and medium-thick creams pass through smoothly, while very thick balms or butters will not be drawn up through the tube and the pump will dispense nothing. For your own recipe, we recommend testing both the dispensing and the seal on one trial piece before filling the whole batch.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is 15 ml, and this is the amount to fill into the bottle in normal use. The brimful capacity is higher and can be found in the parameters. The difference provides a reserve for the tube with the pump, which takes up part of the space once screwed on, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Good to know

• Clear glass does not protect against light. For formulations with light-sensitive ingredients, amber or blue glass is more suitable, or the finished product can be stored in a box away from direct light.
• Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely. Rinse the pump and press it several times without product so that no water remains in the tube, which would dilute the first doses.
• Glass and heat. A sudden change in temperature, for example a hot emulsion poured into a cold bottle, can crack the glass. Fill at room temperature.
• The plastic parts of the pump are made of polypropylene. For recipes with a higher proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend checking that the plastic does not change.
• Contact with cosmetics. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics, and the declaration of conformity can be found with the product. It is not intended for food.
• Other closures. Closures with the same neck type and ready-made packaging and closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you combine them yourself, check the seal and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
• Recycling. The bottle is sorted as glass and the pump as plastic. Separate the components before disposal.
