The glass bottle with dropper is suitable for most oil-based and water-based formulations, typically serums, oil elixirs and drop blends. Before series filling we recommend carrying out your own compatibility test – verifying composition stability, dropper sealing and dosing during longer-term storage, so that you can be sure the specific formula will perform optimally in the packaging.

Yes, the glass bottle can be reused provided hygienic principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured vegetable. After cleaning and drying, we recommend checking the condition of the dropper and sealing components; if visible wear is present, it is advisable to replace them with new ones.

Before the first filling, we recommend rinsing the bottle with a suitable cleaning agent, rinsing thoroughly with water and allowing it to dry completely. It is then advisable to disinfect the inner and outer surfaces with alcohol, for example with IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or 96 % vegetable ethanol. For the dropper, it is important to allow all parts to air out and dry thoroughly after disinfection, so that the product is not diluted by residual alcohol.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it responsibly according to the material composition stated in the product parameters. The glass body of the bottle is usually placed in the glass container according to local waste-sorting rules. The dropper consists of a combination of materials (plastic, rubber and possibly metal parts), so it is advisable to separate it from the bottle and follow the instructions of your local waste collection system. Before recycling, it is advisable to remove product residues from the bottle and the dropper by rinsing.

Store the products in the bottle in a dry place, at a stable room temperature and away from direct sunlight or strong heat sources. Although the transparent glass allows visual control of the contents, long-term light exposure may affect more sensitive components of the formulations. Always close the bottle carefully with the dropper after use in order to minimize contact with air and contamination of the contents.

The easiest way is to use the advanced filter in the packaging category on Handymade.sk. After clicking on the selected category (for example bottles, vials, jars or dispensers), you will find the filter at the top of the page. You can adapt the selection there according to several parameters – in particular according to the neck type, size, colour and material of the packaging. This way you will quickly find a suitable combination of packaging and closure that will correspond to your specific formulation and the visual style of your brand.
