The glass bottle is suitable for most common liquid and oil‑based formulations, such as facial and body oils, serums or aromatic blends. For very thick or gel‑type preparations, we recommend considering the type of closure and dispensing (for example a wider opening or a suitable applicator) and, before final filling, carrying out a trial test of filling and emptying to verify user comfort.

Yes, the glass bottle can be reused, provided that hygiene principles are followed. However, before each new filling it is essential to clean the packaging thoroughly and disinfect it with a suitable agent, for example a technical alcohol such as isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For this purpose you can use products available on Handymade, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant‑based. Only after thorough drying and airing is the bottle ready for further use.

If you decide not to use the bottle any further, we recommend first emptying it and disposing of any product residues in accordance with the nature of the substance used. Then separate the packaging into individual parts – the glass container and the plastic or composite cap. Place the glass part in the container designated for glass and sort the closure according to its material into the appropriate container for plastics or mixed waste, in line with local sorting rules. Always adapt recycling recommendations to the material information given for the specific product in the parameter table on the Handymade website.

When filling, we recommend working at a clean workstation, using suitable filling tools and not overfilling the packaging so that there is enough space for safe closure of the child‑resistant cap. After closing, it is advisable to perform a short leak test by turning the bottle over or shaking it gently. When storing, follow the requirements of the specific formulation – usually a dry and cooler environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources is ideal in order to maintain the stability of the contents and the quality of the packaging.

To select suitable packaging you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. With it you can conveniently narrow down the offer according to several parameters – for example by type and size of neck, total volume or size of the packaging, colour of the design and material. By combining these filters you will quickly find bottles, jars or medicine bottles that meet the technical requirements of your formulation as well as the visual style of your brand.
