Amber Glass Bottle, White Spray, 10 ml

A small bottle of amber glass with a white spray pump is designed for liquid cosmetic preparations that need to be protected from light and dispensed as a fine mist. The dark glass reduces light transmission, making the set particularly suitable for liquids whose components lose efficacy or change scent when exposed to light. The spray pump disperses the contents into a fine mist, making it easy to dose water- and alcohol-based liquids – hydrolats, facial tonics, hair and body mists, perfume waters and refreshing sprays. The small volume is practical for samples, travel packaging and testing new formulations in smaller quantities.

The set as a whole is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics.

Key features

• Light protection – amber glass reduces light transmission, which helps preserve the stability of essential oils, plant extracts and fragrance components in water- and alcohol-based preparations.
• Fine spraying – the spray pump dispenses a small amount with each press; the contents are evenly distributed over the skin or hair and nothing is wasted.
• Odour-free glass – glass does not absorb scent or react with the contents; the bottle can be refilled with a different preparation after washing.
• Practical format – the low, narrow vial shape fits in a handbag or travel bag and is also suitable as a gift or sample.

How to use the set

The spray pump screws onto the bottle neck and draws the contents from the bottom through a dip tube. The dip tube is longer than the bottle, so before first use trim it at an angle so it reaches the bottom without bending. After filling, press the pump several times until the tube fills and the spray begins to dispense evenly.

The spray pump is intended for liquids with low viscosity – water, hydrolats, tonics, alcohol solutions, light two-phase sprays after shaking. Vegetable oils, thick serums and emulsions will not atomise through this spray pump; the mechanism becomes clogged and dispensing is uneven. For oily contents, a dropper bottle or pump bottle is more suitable.

Good to know

Nominal and total volume. The nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for during normal filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is larger. The difference forms a reserve for the dip tube and spray mechanism and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim – otherwise the contents will be pushed out when the spray pump is screwed on.

Preparation before filling. Before first use, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. The same applies for repeated use; rinse the spray pump with clean water and press it several times empty to clean the tube and nozzle as well.

Preserving the contents. Water-based preparations in a spray need adequate preservation just as in any other packaging. Although the spray pump limits contact between the contents and fingers, air is drawn into the bottle during dispensing, so an unpreserved hydrolat does not become more durable here either.

Glass and heat. Glass withstands normal temperatures during filling, but do not expose a filled bottle to sudden temperature changes and do not leave it in direct sunlight – even amber glass only partially protects the contents.

Labelling. The straight cylindrical body of the bottle allows a narrow label to be applied.

Recycling. Glass goes into glass waste; the spray pump is made of polypropylene – separate the two parts before disposal.
