Clear tall plastic bottle, black pump with smoky cap, 100 ml

The clear PET bottle with a black pump dispenser is a ready-to-use set for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products dispensed in small doses: face and body lotions, serums, light emulsions, cleansing gels, and hair preparations. One pump stroke delivers approximately 0.2 ml, making it suitable for products where a small amount is sufficient and precise application matters.

The bottle is made of PET, which is lightweight and shatter-resistant. The packaging is therefore suitable for the bathroom, travel, and shipments where glass would be an unnecessary risk. The clear material reveals the colour and texture of the contents, and the remaining product is visible at a glance. The dust cap protects the pump head against accidental activation and dust.

Why choose a pump bottle

• Hygienic dispensing – the contents are never touched by fingers and the bottle stays closed during use, reducing the risk of contamination.
• Consistent dosing – each press delivers a similar amount, which makes using concentrated products such as serums easier.
• Low weight and durability – PET does not crack on impact and reduces shipment weight compared to glass.
• Visible contents – the clear wall suits coloured, two-phase, or otherwise visually distinctive products.

Which products is this set suitable for

The small-dose pump works best with liquid to medium-viscosity textures: lotions, thin creams, gels, serums, and liquid cleansers. Very thick creams, butters, and balms will not draw reliably through the pump; a jar is more appropriate for those. Very thin aqueous solutions such as tonics and hydrolates are more conveniently applied with a spray bottle.

The clear packaging does not protect the contents from light. Products containing light-sensitive ingredients — such as certain vegetable oils, extracts, or vitamins — should therefore be stored away from direct sunlight or in an opaque container.

Nominal and total volume

The volume stated in the product name is the nominal volume — the quantity the bottle is designed to hold under normal filling conditions. The total volume to the neck rim is slightly larger. This difference serves as a buffer: the pump with its dip tube takes up some space once screwed in, and the product expands slightly with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents may overflow during closing or be forced into the thread.

What to know before filling

Both the bottle and the pump should be washed, sanitised with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and allowed to dry completely before first use. For the pump, run the sanitising solution through the mechanism with several strokes and allow it to evaporate.

For products with a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol, or other solvents, the behaviour of the plastic should be verified on a test sample over several weeks. Check whether the bottle deforms or becomes cloudy and whether the pump seals properly.

Suitability for contact with cosmetic products is declared for the bottle; a declaration of conformity is available on the product page. The smooth cylindrical wall makes label application straightforward, and the dimensions needed for label design are listed in the specifications.

Additional closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations are available from Handymade. When assembling your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dispensing performance, and compatibility of the packaging with your specific formulation.
