Yes, the glass vial can be used repeatedly if handled carefully. It is always necessary, however, to follow proper hygienic practices – before each refilling, clean the packaging thoroughly and then disinfect it with a suitable alcohol-based preparation. For disinfection you can use, for example, the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Only after it is completely dry is the bottle ready for reuse.

First, rinse the packaging thoroughly with warm water and a suitable cleaning agent to remove all residues of the previous contents. After rinsing with clean water, allow the vial to drain and dry. We then recommend disinfecting the inner surface with an alcohol solution, for example with the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. After the alcohol has evaporated and the vial has dried, the packaging is ready for safe filling with a new formulation.

The glass vial is ideal for smaller volumes of concentrated or high-value preparations where precise dosing is important. In practice it is used mainly for cosmetic serums, intensive facial treatments, oil blends, active aqueous or alcoholic solutions, pilot batches of formulas and aromatherapeutic preparations. You choose a suitable type of closure or dispenser according to the intended use – a dropper for precise dosing, an atomiser for toners, and so on.

We recommend storing empty as well as filled glass packaging in a dry, clean place without extreme temperatures and without direct exposure to sunlight. Before filling, the vial should be completely dry and protected from dust. Always close filled containers with a suitable closure to minimise the contact of the contents with air and contaminants. This supports the stability of the composition and a longer shelf life of the product.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, it is appropriate to recycle it according to the recommendations given for the specific product in the parameter table. In general, glass vials are sorted into the glass container after emptying and basic rinsing. Caps and any plastic or rubber parts must be sorted separately according to their material. By following these principles, you contribute to the efficient use of raw materials and to reducing the amount of waste.

When selecting a suitable bottle or other type of packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging category. After clicking on the relevant category, the filter is located at the top of the page and allows you to quickly narrow down the offer according to several parameters – you can filter by neck type, size, colour and material. This makes it easy to choose packaging that will best suit your specific product and the intended dosing method.
