When choosing a suitable bottle, the most important thing is to take into account the neck type and the recommended compatibility in the product parameters. We recommend choosing vials and bottles directly from the category in which the dropper is listed and following the packaging and closure combinations specified on Handymade. Before final use, always carry out a trial filling to check sealing and smooth dripping.

The dropper can be reused as long as it is mechanically intact and hygienic principles are followed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, ideally using isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, for example with products such as IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based. In this way you reduce the risk of microbial contamination and the risk that residues of the previous product will affect the stability of the new formulation.

The dropper is optimised for dosing low- to medium-viscosity liquids. Thin aqueous solutions, hydrolats and light oils flow smoothly and precisely. With very viscous oils or gel-like blends, dripping may be slowed down or irregular, so we recommend first trying a small test amount and, if necessary, choosing a different type of dispensing, such as a pump or another applicator part.

For cleaning the dropper, we recommend first mechanically removing any product residues and then using a suitable cleaning and disinfecting medium compatible with the plastic material and with your formulation. In practice, rinsing with a suitable solvent and disinfecting using preparations such as IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based has often proved effective. After cleaning, allow all parts to dry thoroughly at room temperature and avoid exposure to extremely high temperatures that could deform the plastic.

If you decide not to use the dropper any further, we recommend that, after emptying and basic cleaning, you hand it over for sorted waste collection according to the plastic type specified in the parameter table for the product. The information about the material will indicate into which plastic container the dropper belongs. If you are not sure about local sorting rules, follow the recommendations of your collection yard or municipal services. By recycling the packaging, you contribute to reducing the amount of waste and to more efficient use of resources.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the extended filter located in the upper part of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the extended filter you can conveniently choose parameters such as neck type, size, colour or packaging material and display only those options that match your product. Thanks to this, you will quickly find a suitable bottle, vial or other packaging with which this dropper will match both functionally and visually.
