The glass bottle is also suitable for formulations containing essential oils and aromatic components, since glass is a stable and chemically resistant material. However, we always recommend performing your own compatibility test of the specific blend with the packaging and dropper used, especially in the case of high oil concentrations or non-standard ingredients.

The packaging can be reused if strict hygiene principles are followed. Before each new filling, the bottle must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol, for example using products such as IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. When changing the type of product (for example from an aromatherapeutic blend to a facial serum), we recommend cleaning the packaging even more thoroughly to prevent transfer of fragrance or residues of the original formulation.

Before filling, we recommend removing mechanical impurities from the bottle, then washing it with a suitable cleaning agent and rinsing it thoroughly. After drying, disinfect the packaging with an alcohol-based preparation, for example with IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Only after the alcohol has completely evaporated is the packaging ready for safe filling with the final product.

If you decide not to reuse the bottle, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local waste sorting rules. After emptying and basic rinsing, the glass part of the packaging should as standard be placed in the container intended for glass. The plastic components of the dropper and cap, and any rubber parts, must be separated and sorted according to the instructions in your municipality. Specific recycling recommendations are based on the material composition specified in the product parameters on the Handymade.sk website.

You can find the most suitable packaging for your product using the advanced filter in the packaging categories. After clicking on the relevant category (for example bottles, jars or pharmaceutical bottles), the advanced filter is located at the top of the page. You can use it to filter packaging according to several parameters – especially according to the type and size of the neck, total volume, colour of the material and type of material. Thanks to this, you can easily narrow down the offer to packaging that best suits your concept and the technical requirements of the product.

The dropper is primarily designed for drop-by-drop dosing of normally viscous oils, serums and liquids. For very thick oil-based or gel-like formulations, the flow rate may be slower. In such a case, we recommend testing the dosing on a small sample, or considering the use of another type of dosing system from among the packaging options available on Handymade.sk.
