Yes, the bottle can be reused if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected – for example using isopropyl alcohol or denatured ethanol. Disinfection is important to minimise the risk of microbial contamination and degradation of your formulation. When reusing, always also check the condition of the dropper and the closure seal.

Before the first filling, we recommend rinsing the bottle with a suitable cleaning solution, then with clean water and, after drying, disinfecting the inner surface and accessories. For disinfection you can use for example IPA 99 % or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. The dropper and the rubber part should be cleaned gently to avoid mechanical damage; after cleaning, let all parts dry thoroughly at room temperature.

This type of medicine bottle is suitable wherever you need precise, dropwise dosing. It is intended in particular for facial and eye serums, concentrated oil blends, active substances added to bases, intensive regenerating oils, aromatherapeutic blends or laboratory test samples. Thanks to the dropper, you can easily regulate the amount of product applied and ensure a consistent dose with each use.

Always store the filled bottle tightly closed, ideally in a dry, cooler and shaded place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Prevent long-term exposure to high temperatures and frequent temperature fluctuations, which can affect the stability of the formulation. When handling the dropper, try not to touch the rubber part with contaminated hands, in order to minimise the transfer of impurities into the container.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the material composition specified in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle can, after emptying and basic rinsing, be placed in a container intended for glass. The closure, dropper and small plastic or rubber components should be sorted according to local waste collection rules – most often into a container for plastics or mixed waste, if they cannot be separated according to common recycling categories. Before separation, always check the recycling recommendations in the parameter table of the specific product on the Handymade website.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the filter you can easily set the required parameters – for example the type and size of the neck, the size of the packaging, colour or material. In this way you can quickly narrow down the range to bottles, medicine bottles, jars or other containers that best match your formulation and the visual concept of your brand.
