Yes, the glass medicine bottle is also suitable for thicker oil-based or slightly viscous formulations, as long as you choose the correct type of closure or dispenser. For oils, serums and nourishing concentrates, droppers or precise applicators are commonly used, which facilitate dosing and reduce the risk of contaminating the neck. Before final bottling we recommend performing a trial filling to verify the smoothness of dosing and the comfort of use for the specific product.

The glass packaging can be reused if hygiene principles are followed. Before each new filling, the bottle must be thoroughly cleaned, any residues of the original product removed, and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example with products such as IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. This minimises the risk of microbial contamination and unwanted changes in the fragrance or texture of the new preparation. When changing the type of product (for example from an oil-based to a water-based product), we recommend paying extra attention to cleaning and disinfection, or using new packaging.

We recommend storing filled glass medicine bottles in a dry and cooler place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It is important that the closure is always tightly screwed on, which reduces the contact of the contents with air and moisture. For more sensitive cosmetic formulations or extracts, storage in closed cabinets or drawers has proved effective, where the packaging is also protected from temperature fluctuations. Always follow the recommended storage conditions of the specific recipe or raw materials you are using.

If you decide not to use the bottle any further, we recommend recycling it according to local waste-sorting rules. The glass parts of the packaging (the bottle body) usually belong in the container designated for glass. Before placing it in the container, it is advisable to remove any remaining contents, possible plastic or metal components of the closure, and paper labels if possible. Information about the material used for the specific product can be found in the parameter table on the product page on Handymade and, based on this, you can choose the correct method of sorting. In this way you support the recycling process and reduce the amount of unnecessary waste.

To choose a suitable bottle, medicine bottle or other type of packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging category. After clicking on the relevant category on Handymade, you will find the filter in the upper part of the page, where you can refine your selection in detail according to several parameters. You can filter, for example, by type of neck, desired size, colour of the packaging or the material used. By combining filters, you will quickly narrow down the offer to packaging that best matches your formulation, dosing method and the visual style of your brand.
