Yes, the container can be reused with a suitable type of filling, but always with strict adherence to hygiene principles. Before each new filling, the small bottle must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected, ideally using a suitable alcohol (for example IPA or ethanol). For disinfection you can use products available in the offer, such as isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol. After cleaning and disinfection, let the packaging dry completely in order to minimise the risk of microbial contamination and effects on the stability of the new filling.

First, rinse the small bottle mechanically with lukewarm water to remove residues of the original product and, depending on the type of filling, also with a mild detergent suitable for contact with cosmetic packaging. Then we recommend applying disinfection – for example with pure isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol, which help to reduce the microbial load of the inner surface. After disinfection, let the container drip freely and dry completely, ideally upside down on a clean, non-absorbent surface. Clean and disinfect the cap in the same way, paying attention to the thread and contact surfaces that ensure sealing.

If you decide not to use the container further, we recommend recycling it responsibly. Aluminium small bottles are sorted into the container intended for metal packaging, according to the locally applicable waste sorting rules. Before disposal, it is advisable to remove product residues, or rinse the small bottle, in order to minimise contamination of the sorted waste. Sort the plastic or other type of closure separately according to the material specified in the product parameters. In case of uncertainty, follow the recommendations of the local waste collection system to ensure that the packaging is correctly processed in the recycling process.

Yes, thanks to its practical volume and solid metal construction, the small bottle is suitable for trial series and testing new formulas. It allows convenient sampling for sensory and stability testing, while the container is sufficiently resistant for repeated handling. For new formulations, we always recommend carrying out a trial filling, monitoring the behaviour of the product over time (change in colour, odour, any deposits) and at the same time verifying compatibility with the closure or dispensing system used. On the basis of these tests, you can confirm whether the small bottle is also suitable for the final version of the product.

To make it easier to find suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter, which is available at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. With the help of the filter, you can clearly narrow down your selection by neck type, desired size, colour and packaging material. Thanks to this, you will quickly find small bottles, medicine bottles, jars or other containers that meet your technical and aesthetic requirements. We recommend combining several filters at once to obtain a list of packaging that most closely matches your product and the intended method of use.
