Yes, the packaging can be reused provided that proper hygiene rules are followed. Before refilling, the bottle and the dropper must always be thoroughly mechanically cleaned, rinsed and disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based disinfectant, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured, plant-based. This reduces the risk of microbial contamination and of affecting the stability of your formulation.

First remove the remains of the original product using warm water and a mild cleaning agent that is suitable for contact with cosmetics. After thoroughly rinsing, allow the packaging to dry and then apply disinfection – we recommend rinsing through the inside of the bottle and, for the parts in contact with the dropper, using alcohol solutions such as IPA 99 % or plant-based ethanol 96 %. After disinfection, allow all parts to dry completely at room temperature before refilling.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend recycling it according to the material composition specified in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle can, after removing product residues and rinsing, be placed in a container intended for sorted glass waste. The dropper consists of a combination of several materials (plastic, rubber, and possibly glass), so according to local sorting rules you should usually separate it from the bottle and discard it into mixed waste or the appropriate sorted waste stream. Always follow local recommendations for the recycling of packaging materials.

The dropper bottle is ideal for formulations where precise drop-by-drop dosing is required – for example facial and eye serums, oil elixirs, concentrated active ingredients, perfumed oils or aromatherapeutic blends for external use. It is also suitable for small test batches or samples where you need to have good control over the amount of product applied.

The glass material of the bottle is generally suitable for oil-based and water-based solutions as well as for many emulsion and alcohol-based formulations. For very acidic, alkaline or otherwise atypical compositions, we always recommend carrying out your own compatibility test – fill a smaller amount of product, observe any changes in the appearance of the packaging, the dropper seal and any odour or change in viscosity. In this way you can verify that the packaging is suitable in the long term for the specific formula.

To make selection easier, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. In the advanced filter you can conveniently choose the required parameters, such as type and size of neck, overall size of the packaging, colour and material. This way you will quickly find bottles, dropper bottles, jars or pumps that best meet the needs of your formula and the planned dosing method.
