Amber Glass Bottle, White Nasal Spray, 50 ml

Introduction

Glass bottle, vial, nasal spray, 50 ml is a ready-made set consisting of an amber glass bottle fitted with a dispenser that releases a small, always identical dose of the contents in a fine mist with each press. It is suitable for water-based preparations in small volumes where precise dosing and protection from light matter: hydrosols, refreshing toners, aromatic mists, herbal infusions or other thin formulations applied drop by drop.

The amber glass dampens light and thus protects the sensitive contents. The dispenser with a narrow applicator head is shaped so that the contents can be applied in a targeted way without spilling.

Why choose this set

• Protection from light – amber glass lets through considerably less light than clear glass, which helps maintain the stability of the colour, scent and active substances of the contents.
• Measured dose – the dispenser mechanism releases the same amount with each press, so dosing is repeatable and the contents are not used up at random.
• Fine mist – the contents are dispersed into tiny droplets, which is an advantage for refreshing and moisturising preparations applied to a small area.
• Odour-free glass – glass does not absorb scents or dyes and can be washed and disinfected repeatedly.
• Closed system – the tube reaches to the bottom of the bottle and the contents come out only through the head, so you do not touch the refill with your fingers during use.

Nominal and total volume

For every container we state two volumes. The nominal volume is the amount the container is intended for under normal filling, and it is precisely by this that the bottle is labelled as a fifty-millilitre one. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume all the way up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the tube and the immersed part of the dispenser and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. It is therefore filled to the nominal volume, never to the brim, otherwise the contents will overflow when the dispenser is fitted.

Filling and assembly

Fill the bottle to the nominal volume and screw the dispenser onto the neck. The tube is intentionally longer than the height of the bottle so that it reaches all the way to the bottom; when fitted it bends slightly at the bottom, which is fine. If the bend interferes with suction, you can trim the tube so that it only just touches the bottom.

Before first use, press the dispenser empty several times until the tube fills and the mechanism starts to dispense. After the last dose, a small residue of the contents remains in the tube and at the bottom of the bottle, which the dispenser can no longer draw up. Take this into account when calculating the number of doses per refill.

Suitable for contents such as

• Hydrosols and floral waters – refreshing and moisturising mists for sensitive areas, where a fine mist is an advantage.
• Water-based toners and infusions – low-viscosity solutions without particles that pass easily through the narrow tube and nozzle.
• Aromatic and scented mists – water-alcohol preparations in small volumes, where glass holds the scent without any foreign odour.
• Samples and travel packs – a small volume and measured dosing are ideal for testing a formulation or for packing for travel.

The dispenser is intended for thin, water-based contents. Thick serums, emulsions and oils will not pass through the narrow nozzle or will clog it. For contents with a higher proportion of alcohol, essential oils or solvents, we recommend verifying in advance how the plastic and metal parts of the dispenser behave directly with your formulation. Closures with the same type of neck and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range; with your own combination, verify the tightness, dosing and behaviour of the container with the specific contents.

Good to know

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Certification for direct contact with food is held by the glass bottle on its own; the dispenser does not have such certification, which is why the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics. The relevant declarations of conformity and documents are attached to the product.

Glass is sensitive to sudden changes in temperature; do not pour hot contents into a cold bottle or vice versa. The bottle can be reused; before each new filling, clean it in the same way as before first use. The dispenser contains a spring and several plastic parts and is harder to clean thoroughly, so it is better to replace it with a new one when changing the contents. A flat cylindrical bottle wall makes it easier to apply a label. At the end of its life, glass belongs with glass, the dispenser is made up of several materials and is sorted separately.
