Blue Glass Bottle, Glossy Silver Dropper, 30 ml

Glass bottle with dropper, blue, 30 ml combines a blue glass bottle with a dropper with a glossy silver collar into a ready-to-use pack for serums, face and body oils and concentrated active blends that are dispensed drop by drop. The 30 ml volume corresponds to a common pack size for a face serum or oil, so it is also suitable for samples and smaller batches.

The dropper lets you draw up a few drops without the contents coming into contact with your fingers, and the dose remains approximately the same with each use. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. It is not declared for food contact, so we recommend using it only for cosmetic products.

Suitable uses

• Face serums – water-based and oil-based serums of low to medium viscosity, applied drop by drop to the face or décolleté area.
• Face and body oils – pure vegetable oils as well as blends with essential oils.
• Nail and beard oils – the small volume and precise dispensing suit products that are used in small amounts.
• Active ingredient concentrates – diluted solutions that the customer adds drop by drop to a cream or mask.
• Samples and test batches – for verifying a formulation before production in a larger volume.

The dropper draws up liquids that flow freely. Thick gels, balms and emulsions of creamy consistency cannot be dispensed with it; a jar or a bottle with a pump is more suitable for such products.

Filling and handling the set

The bottle has a medicine bottle shape with a narrow neck, so it is filled with a funnel or a dispensing bottle. Fill it up to the nominal volume, that is, the volume the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The brim-full volume stated in the parameters is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck and is deliberately larger. The difference provides a reserve for the glass tube of the dropper, which takes up part of the space once screwed in, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Tighten the dropper by hand, without force. When drawing up the product for the first time, squeeze the bulb before immersing the tube in the contents so that the product does not get into the bulb. The dropper combines aluminium, polypropylene, silicone and glass.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash both the bottle and the dropper, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual water in the bottle can cause cloudiness or promote the growth of microorganisms in anhydrous products. Fill the glass bottle with contents that have cooled down; a sudden temperature difference between the hot liquid and the cold wall of the bottle can damage it.

After it is emptied, the bottle is washed in the usual way. The dropper is taken apart into the tube with the collar and the bulb, rinsed and left to dry separately. With water-based and alcohol-based contents, check the seal of the thread, especially if the bottle is carried in a bag. If you combine the bottle with another closure, check the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation. Closures with the same neck finish, which you will find in the parameters, as well as other ready-made bottle and closure combinations are available in the Handymade range.

For recycling, the bottle belongs in the glass bin. The dropper is made of mixed materials, so separate it from the bottle before disposal.
