Always use the dropper on a vertically held bottle and dose the contents drop by drop so that you have the amount of preparation under control. After taking the required amount, gently wipe the dropper from excess product, carefully insert it back into the bottleneck and screw it on tightly. This minimizes the contact of the contents with the air and keeps the dosing consistent even during long-term use.

The dropper can be used repeatedly if strict hygiene rules are followed and only within one product line, so that fragrances or active substances do not mix. Before refilling, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and disinfect the dropper and the bottle. For disinfection we recommend using technical alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Always let all parts dry completely after disinfection before refilling the packaging.

The simplest way is to choose directly from the recommended combinations in the detail of bottles and medicine bottles on Handymade, where compatible closures and droppers are already prepared. When choosing separately, always pay attention to the type and size of neck given in the product parameters and combine only packaging with the same neck standard. This will ensure correct seating of the dropper, good sealing and trouble-free dosing without leaking.

In normal use of one specific product it is enough to ensure that the dropper does not come into direct contact with the skin or another surface. If residues of dried product appear on the surface, gently remove them with a clean cloth or paper towel moistened with a small amount of suitable disinfecting alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol. Always close the dropper carefully after use to limit the contact of the contents with air and impurities.

If you decide not to reuse the dropper, we recommend that after emptying and basic cleaning you put it into sorted waste according to the material given in the parameters of the specific product on Handymade. The recycling mark and material can be found in the parameter table and according to it you choose the appropriate container (for example plastic or metal, if relevant). If you are not sure about correct sorting, it is advisable to follow local waste management rules or hand over the packaging at a collection yard.

When choosing the ideal packaging and corresponding dropper, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging categories on Handymade. The advanced filter is located in the upper part of the page after clicking on the selected category and enables clear sorting according to parameters such as type and size of neck, packaging size, colour or material. Thanks to this you will quickly find a bottle, medicine bottle or another container that will be compatible with this dropper and at the same time will also meet your product’s visual and functional requirements.
