Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly if hygiene rules are observed. Before each new filling we recommend thoroughly cleaning the bottle and dropper, checking their condition and then disinfecting them with a suitable alcoholic solution, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured vegetable. Only then is the packaging ready for further safe use.

The dropper is most suitable for liquid and rather less viscous formulations where precise drop-by-drop dosing is important. These are mainly facial and body oils, concentrated serums, active solutions, aromatic oils and special additives that are added in small amounts to final products. For thicker preparations we recommend testing before final filling whether the flow through the dropper is sufficient.

Before repeated use it is appropriate to mechanically clean the bottle, remove residues of the previous product and rinse it thoroughly. We then recommend disinfection using a suitable alcohol, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured vegetable. After disinfection, let the packaging dry completely at room temperature so that no moisture remains that could affect the stability of the next filling.

The simplest solution is to use the advanced filter in the packaging category. After clicking on the relevant category on Handymade.sk, you will find a filter in the upper part of the page where you can sort the offer according to parameters such as neck, size, colour or material. By combining these criteria you will quickly choose a bottle, jar or other container that will be most suitable for your formulation and method of dosing.

We recommend storing the glass bottle in a dry, clean and dust-free environment, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ideally, the packaging should be kept in its protective wrapping until the moment of filling, in order to minimize the risk of contamination. For longer-term storage, regularly check also the condition of the dropper and the rubber or plastic parts.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend first emptying it completely and removing any product residues. The glass part of the bottle is normally placed in the container designated for glass according to local waste-sorting rules; the closure and dropper must be sorted according to the material specified in the product parameters. Always follow the specific instructions in your municipality and the information on material composition in the parameter table for the given product on Handymade.sk.
