Amber Glass Bottle with Roll-On, 30 ml

The amber glass medicine bottle with a roller ball applicator is designed for preparations applied in small amounts directly to the skin: perfume oils, diluted essential oil blends for the temples and wrists, oil serums for the eye area, or spot treatments for blemishes. Amber glass filters light and helps protect contents that are sensitive to oxidation, especially essential oils and unrefined vegetable oils. The kit has three parts – the bottle, the roller ball with its housing and the cap – so you only need to fill it and assemble it.

What the kit contains

• Glass medicine bottle, 30 ml – amber glass of European origin, 18/410 neck finish.
• Roller ball – a steel ball in a clear polypropylene (PP) housing. The housing is pressed into the neck of the bottle, and as the ball rolls over the skin it transfers the contents in a thin layer.
• Plastic cap – a black PP cap that screws on over the ball and closes the bottle between uses.

What it is suitable for

The roller ball applicator dispenses the preparation without contact with your fingers and applies it exactly where it is needed. Thin to medium-viscosity liquids pass through the ball best.

• Perfume oils – a fragrance composition diluted in jojoba oil (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil) or in fractionated coconut oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride).
• Aromatherapy blends – essential oils in a carrier oil for the temples, neck or wrists.
• Oil serum for the eye area – while applying, the ball also gently massages the area under the eyes.
• Spot treatments – cuticle oil or treatment of individual blemishes.

The ball does not spread thick gels and creams evenly and may get stuck. For very thin water-based or alcohol-based preparations, we recommend testing on a sample first to check that the contents do not leak around the ball.

Filling and assembly

Before the first filling, wash all three parts, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Pour the contents into the bottle once they have cooled to room temperature.

Fill up to the nominal volume of 30 ml, not to the brim. The nominal volume is the volume the packaging is designed for in normal filling. The brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between them forms a reserve for the ball housing, which takes up part of the neck when pressed in and pushes the liquid level upwards.

Good to know

The kit is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The glass medicine bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact; the plastic cap and the ball do not. The kit as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetics.

We recommend testing the compatibility of the plastic housing and cap with undiluted essential oils or with preparations containing a high proportion of alcohol on a sample before you fill an entire batch.

The roll-on can be refilled repeatedly. Carefully pry out the housing with the ball using a thin blunt tool and wash all parts separately. Pay attention to the ball, which retains residues of the previous contents in the housing. Then rinse the parts with alcohol and let them dry. If the ball stops rotating freely, it is usually caused by dried oil residues, which warm water with washing-up liquid will loosen.

If you want to use the bottle without the ball, you will find closures with the same neck type and ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For a custom combination, we recommend checking the seal and the dispensing with your specific formulation. An empty, washed bottle goes into glass recycling; the cap and the ball housing go into plastics.
