Yes, the glass bottle can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based product, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For disinfection you can use the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný, which help ensure microbiological cleanliness of the inner surface of the packaging as well as the dropper.

First remove any residue of the original product by mechanically rinsing with warm water and a suitable cleaning agent that is compatible with the type of the original formulation. Then thoroughly rinse the bottle with clean water, allow it to dry and disinfect the interior using an alcohol solution (e.g. IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný). For the dropper it is advisable to rinse both the glass pipette and the rubber part according to the recommendations for the specific material, and then allow all components to dry thoroughly before reuse.

This type of glass vial is most suitable for products that require precise dosing in small quantities. These include in particular facial and eye serums, concentrated oils, booster blends, intensive hair treatments or aromatherapy compositions. The dropper allows you to dose the product drop by drop directly into the palm of the hand, onto the skin or into a mixing container, which minimises waste and helps maintain the hygiene of the contents throughout the entire period of use.

If you are unsure, follow the recommendations of your local collection and recycling system so that the packaging is recovered as efficiently as possible.
