Clear Plastic Bottle, Glossy Gold Black Pump With Clear Overcap, 100 ml

The clear PET medicine bottle with pump for 100 ml is used to dispense liquid and medium-thick cosmetic products in small doses, without unscrewing and without fingers touching the contents. The set combines a clear plastic medicine bottle with a pump with an 18/415 neck finish, whose black and gold glossy head is covered by a clear overcap. Through the clear wall you can see the colour and the remaining amount of the contents, which you will appreciate both when selling and when using it yourself. The bottle is lightweight and unbreakable, so it is also suitable for travel or the bathroom.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The bottle alone has a certificate for direct food contact; the set with the pump is intended as a whole for cosmetic products.

How the pump works

Each press of the head dispenses approximately 0.3 ml. The pump draws the contents up through a tube reaching the bottom of the bottle, so the contents can be pumped even when the level is low. The clear overcap fitted over the head protects the opening from dust and from accidental pressing when the bottle is carried. It is simply removed before use.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The total brim-full volume is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the pump tube and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled up to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise part of the contents is pushed out when the pump is screwed on.

What the set is suitable for

• Serums and light emulsions – a small dose allows precise application to the face and the contents do not spill.
• Body lotions and face lotions with a more liquid consistency – dispensing with a single press is more hygienic than scooping from a jar.
• Liquid soaps, cleansing gels and micellar waters – in the bathroom, the contents do not come into contact with wet hands.
• Face, hair and massage oils – the pump prevents spilling and the oil is dispensed evenly in small amounts.

Thick creams, balms and butters cannot be drawn up through the tube. A jar or container is more suitable for these products.

Good to know

Clear PET does not protect the contents from light. For formulations with light-sensitive ingredients, such as vitamin C, retinol or vegetable oils prone to oxidation, a bottle made of amber or blue glass is more suitable, or storage in a box away from daylight.

Fill the contents only after they have cooled down. A warm emulsion or oil straight from a water bath can deform the plastic wall and create a vacuum in the bottle.

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, rinse it and disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Pump clean water through the pump with several presses and let both parts dry completely. When changing the contents, rinse the pump with warm water so that no residues of the previous product remain in the tube.

The bottle is made of PET and belongs in sorted plastic waste. The pump contains plastic and aluminium parts; separate it from the bottle before disposal.

You will find closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made combinations of this bottle with other closures, in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
