Glass packaging is generally very stable even for formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils, which makes it a suitable choice for aromatherapeutic blends and concentrated oil serums. However, we recommend always preparing a trial batch and monitoring the behaviour of the product over time, especially in the case of atypical combinations of raw materials or very high concentrations of active ingredients.

The packaging can be reused if hygienic principles are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dropper must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol, for example IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96% denatured plant-based. Allow the disinfectant solution to act, let the packaging dry completely and only then fill it with the final product. For the dropper it is important to check the condition of the pipette and the seal to ensure reliable functionality and cleanliness of dosing.

The bottle is ideal for smaller product batches, test samples and final packaging of products for sale. For home production you can use it for dosing concentrated serums, boosters and active ingredients that are applied in small amounts. In professional practice it is suitable for sending samples to customers, archiving development batches and clearly labelling different concentrations of trial formulations, while the dark glass helps protect sensitive components during storage.

If you decide not to reuse the bottle, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local regulations. The glass body of the packaging can, after emptying and basic cleaning, be sorted into a container intended for glass. The dropper consists of several parts (for example plastic, metal, possibly rubber), so it is advisable to separate the individual materials as far as possible and sort them according to the recommendations in the parameter tables of similar packaging on the Handymade website. It is always necessary to follow the local waste sorting rules in your municipality or city.

To select suitable packaging you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. Thanks to the filter, you can quickly narrow the range according to parameters such as neck type, size, colour or packaging material. By combining several filters, you obtain an overview only of those bottles, vials, jars or dispensers that best match your formulation, the desired method of application and the visual style of the final product.
