Yes, the packaging can be reused if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dispenser must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and subsequently disinfected with a suitable alcohol solution (for example with the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based). Only after complete drying and evaporation of the alcohol is the packaging ready for a new filling.

It is advisable to first disassemble the dispenser into individual parts, if its construction allows it. Rinse the internal parts with warm water and detergent, then with clean water and, as needed, pump clean water several times through the mechanism so that the internal channel is also flushed. After washing, it is appropriate to apply a disinfecting alcohol preparation and press several times again so that the alcohol passes through the entire pump. Before reuse, let all parts dry completely.

The glass bottle with cream dispenser is ideal for creams, emulsions and gel formulations of medium viscosity where hygienic and controlled dosing is required. It is especially suitable for face creams, emulsion-based serums, body milks, regenerating hand creams and specialised treatment products. For very dense buttery and balm textures, we recommend considering a jar or pot instead, which correspond better to their consistency.

Store filled glass bottles with cream in a dry and cooler place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The stability of the cosmetic product depends on the composition, therefore it is advisable to follow the recommendations of the formulation and to use preservative systems intended for the respective type of formulation. Always close the bottle carefully to minimise contact with air and any moisture from the environment.

For selecting a suitable packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which is located at the top of the page after clicking on the selected packaging material category. In the advanced filter, you can clearly sort products according to several parameters – for example according to neck type, size, colour or material. In this way, you can easily narrow down the offer to the packaging that is most suitable for the specific formulation and the intended dosing method.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local waste separation rules and according to the material type stated in the product parameters in the table on Handymade.sk. It is appropriate to empty the glass bottle, remove product residues and then place it in the appropriate glass container. The plastic parts of the dispenser (according to the material indicated in the parameters) can, after separation, be recycled in the appropriate plastic waste stream, if the separation system in your area allows it.
