Yes, the bottle can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and subsequently disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Only after the inner surface has completely dried is the bottle ready for further safe use.

The simplest way is to use the extended filter in the relevant packaging category. After clicking on the category of bottles, vials or other packaging material, you will find the extended filter at the top of the page. In it, you can combine several criteria at once – for example the type and diameter of the neck, the size of the packaging, the color and the material used. In this way you will quickly choose the packaging that best corresponds to the specific formulation and the intended dispensing method.

Before first use, we recommend mechanically cleaning the glass bottle, rinsing it with drinking water and subsequently rinsing it with demineralized water or a suitable solvent according to the type of formulation. After the inner space has dried, it is appropriate to disinfect the packaging with alcohol (for example with products available on Handymade) and let the residual alcohol evaporate completely. Only then is the bottle ready for filling, which reduces the risk of microbial contamination.

The glossy dispenser is ideal especially for liquid and slightly viscous formulations such as serums, oil blends, fluid facial concentrates or care drops. Thanks to the precise stroke, it allows application of smaller amounts of product and is well suited for targeted use, for example on facial skin, hair roots or nails. For very thick emulsions, we recommend performing a dispensing test before serial filling and adjusting the dispenser if necessary.

If you no longer wish to use the bottle, we recommend recycling it responsibly according to the material types stated in the product parameters. The glass body of the bottle, after being emptied and basically rinsed, is sorted into the container designated for glass. The dispenser and any plastic or metal parts should be separated and sorted according to local waste separation rules (usually into plastic or metal collection). Before handing over for recycling, it is advisable to remove product residues to facilitate further processing of the materials.

The bottle is suitable both for final products and for smaller test batches, for example when developing new serums or oil blends. The practical volume and the dispenser make it possible to realistically test the behavior of the formulation during longer-term use – stability, possible sedimentation or changes in viscosity. For development batches, however, we recommend always clearly labeling the packaging to prevent confusion with finished products intended for customers.
