Blue Glass Bottle, Lotion Pump, 10 ml

This blue glass bottle with a capacity of 10 ml and a black lotion pump is designed for filling with small amounts of creams, gels and thicker serums. The contents are released in a measured dose when the pump is pressed, so you do not touch the rest of the product during application and no dirt from your fingers gets into the bottle.

Thanks to its small volume, it is particularly suitable for eye creams, lip creams and products for the décolleté area, test batches of new formulations, travel packs or samples for customers. Both the bottle and the pump are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set is intended for cosmetics, not for food.

What it is suitable for

• Eye creams and lip creams – the small volume matches the amount of such a product that is actually used before it starts to lose quality.
• Thicker serums and gel creams – the lotion pump handles more viscous contents that would be difficult to dispense from a dropper or fine mist sprayer.
• Samples and test batches – when developing a formulation, you fill only as much as you need for testing, and you have the finished product in packaging ready to hand over.
• Travel pack – the glass protects the contents, the pump prevents spills and there is no need to scoop cream out of a jar with your finger.

How the set works

The lotion pump screws onto the neck of the bottle and draws the contents up through a tube that reaches the bottom. One press releases approximately 0.12 ml of product, which is an amount suitable for the eye area or lips. With thicker creams, the first few presses only fill the tube and the body of the pump, and only then does the product start to come out.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made packaging + closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 10 ml is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and can be found in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the tube and the lower part of the pump, which take up space in the bottle once screwed on.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely. Treat the tube and the body of the pump in the same way. The internal mechanism of the pump is harder to clean, so for repeated use it is better to replace the whole pump with a new one.

The lotion pump is designed for creams and gels. With very fluid contents, for example pure oils or thin toners, check that it dispenses accurately and that the contents do not leak from the pump head. For such formulations, a dropper or fine mist sprayer is usually more suitable.

Let a warm emulsion cool to approximately room temperature before filling. For disposal, separate the glass from the pump. The glass belongs with glass, and the pump made of polypropylene (PP) belongs with plastics.
