Yes, the packaging can be reused provided that hygiene principles are followed. Before each new filling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the bottle and the dispenser and then disinfecting them with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. This reduces the risk of microbial contamination and extends the stability of the newly filled product.

The bottle is suitable primarily for liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products where comfortable and controlled dispensing is important – for example facial and body emulsions, light creams, fluids, lotions, treatment products for hands, hair and body care products, or more concentrated blends intended for external use. We always recommend testing the dispensing with the specific formulation before filling the entire series.

After the packaging has been emptied, it is advisable to rinse the dispenser with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning agent and then pump clean water through the mechanism several times to remove residues of the original product. After mechanical cleaning, we recommend disinfecting the surfaces that come into contact with the contents with an alcohol-based preparation and allowing them to dry completely. Aggressive chemical cleaners and very hot water may negatively affect the sealing and service life of the dispenser, so it is advisable to use a gentle cleaning procedure.

If you decide not to reuse the bottle, we recommend, after emptying and basic rinsing, placing it in sorted waste collection according to the recommendations given in the parameter table at the product on the Handymade website. The aluminium container usually belongs in the bin for metal packaging; the plastic parts of the dispenser and the cap should be separated from the body and sorted according to local waste collection rules. In this way you support efficient material recycling and reduce the amount of mixed waste.

When choosing a suitable bottle, jar or pot, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging material category. The filter allows you to conveniently sort the offer by neck type, size, colour and material, so you can quickly find packaging that matches your formulation, design and dispensing method. We recommend that you think in advance about the required volume, type of application and the character of the product so that the filtering is as effective as possible.

Before filling, it is advisable to verify the compatibility of the specific formulation with the packaging – especially for preparations with a higher content of acids, bases or solvents. It is recommended to fill a small test amount and observe over time the behaviour of the container material, the dispenser and the seals. During storage, protect the finished products from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight and always follow the storage recommendations for the cosmetic formulation itself. Carefully closing the bottle and using the cap helps extend the shelf life of the product and keep the dispensing functional.
