Clear Glass Bottle, White Lotion Pump, 30 ml

Clear glass bottle, white lotion pump, 30 ml

A ready-made set for filling with creams, light emulsions and thicker serums: a glass bottle with a capacity of 30 ml and a white plastic lotion pump with a dip tube. The product is dispensed by pressing the pump, so you do not touch it with your fingers and the cosmetics stay protected from unnecessary contact with air and contamination. The clear glass lets you see the colour and amount of the contents, which you will appreciate both in home production and when selling smaller batches.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and both the bottle and the pump meet the relevant legislative requirements. It is intended for cosmetics and is not approved for food.

What it is used for

• Face creams and eye creams – the small volume and precise dispensing suit products that are applied in amounts from a few drops to a pea-sized portion.
• Thicker serums and emulsion gels – the pump handles a consistency that would flow slowly from a dropper.
• Body and face lotions in travel size – 30 ml lasts for a few weeks of use or is enough for customer samples.
• Targeted products – hand creams, cuticle creams or décolleté creams, where it pays to dispense in small portions.

Do not choose this type of closure for very runny oils or toners, as thin contents may drip from the pump after pressing. Thick ointment bases and balms, on the other hand, cannot be drawn up through the dip tube.

How the set works

The lotion pump screws onto the neck of the bottle and the dip tube reaches all the way to the bottom, from where the contents are drawn up when you press. One press dispenses approximately 0.14 ml, which is a suitable dose for eye creams and concentrated products. For an ordinary face cream, a few presses are usually enough. After assembling the set, prime the pump by pressing it several times until the dip tube fills.

Other closures with the same neck type also fit the neck of the bottle, and you can find ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The bottle is designed to be filled with 30 ml, which is its nominal volume. The total brimful volume given in the parameters is larger. The difference provides a reserve for the dip tube and the body of the pump, which take up part of the space once screwed on, and also for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Therefore, fill only up to the nominal volume, not up to the neck.

Good to know

Preparation before filling. Before first use, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the pump by pressing it several times in the disinfectant solution and then in clean water, and let the solution drain out of it. Any water left in the dip tube would get into the cream.

Light. Clear glass does not protect the contents from light. Store formulations with sensitive ingredients away from direct light, or choose an amber or matte bottle for them.

Reuse. The glass withstands repeated washing and disinfection. The pump cannot be thoroughly cleaned on the inside, so when you change the recipe or after longer use, we recommend replacing it with a new one.

Recycling. After use, the glass bottle belongs in glass waste and the pump made of polypropylene belongs in plastics. The two parts separate easily.
