Clear Plastic Bottle, Silver Aluminium Cap, 10 ml

The 10 ml plastic medicine bottle with an aluminium cap is a ready-made set for samples and travel packs of serums, facial and body oils, toners, make-up removers or liquid soaps. The clear PET bottle has an 18 mm neck and a screw-on aluminium cap. Clear plastic shows the colour and clarity of the contents, so it is also suitable for presenting samples to customers or for testing new formulations. The bottle is lightweight and unbreakable, which you will appreciate when sending samples by post or packing them in a cosmetic bag.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The bottle itself also has a certificate for direct food contact, but the aluminium cap does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

How the set works

• Bottle – medicine bottle shape with a wide neck, which makes filling without a funnel easier and allows dispensing by pouring or tipping the contents onto your palm.
• Aluminium cap – a screw-on closure with a foamed polyethylene (EPE) liner that sits on the neck and seals the contents. You can tighten it comfortably by hand.
• No dropper – the set includes neither a dropper nor a pump. For serums and oils where you need precise dispensing by the drop, expect to pour, or choose a different closure.

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

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The bottle is physically slightly larger and can be filled right up to the neck, but this space serves as a reserve for the closure and for slight expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If the bottle is overfilled, the contents are pushed onto the thread when closing, and the cap then does not seal as it should.

What it is suitable for

It works best where small quantities and simple dispensing are needed: samples of serums and oils for customers, travel packs of facial care, trial batches when developing a formulation, and small amounts of toner or micellar water for a handbag. The wide neck also copes with thicker liquids, such as body oils with added butters or light fluid creams that could not be dispensed through a dropper.

Clear plastic does not protect the contents from light. Store oils with a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, formulations with vitamin C, or those with essential oils in the dark, or choose dark glass for long-term packaging. For samples and short-term use, the clear bottle is fine.

Good to know

Do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals. For concentrated essential oils, fragrance compositions and solvents, check compatibility in advance on a single piece, or use glass. Protect the bottle from heat and do not fill it with hot contents: let emulsions and oils cool to room temperature first.

The bottle can be reused if, after emptying, you wash and disinfect it in the same way as before first filling. Check the liner in the cap for any soaking from the previous contents. For recycling, the bottle belongs with plastic (PET) and the cap with metals, so separate them before disposal.
