Product description

Glass bottle, clear, with black glossy dropper, 10 ml is a complete set of a glass vial and dropper for everything dispensed drop by drop. Clear glass reveals the colour and clarity of the contents; the dropper draws exactly as much as the formula requires. It is a typical choice for facial serums, oil blends, fragrance composition samples or small amounts of active ingredients added to other preparations.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products; the declaration of conformity and technical documentation are included with the product. This set is not approved for contact with food; it is intended for cosmetic and technical purposes.

What the set is suitable for

Oil serums and plant oil blends – glass does not react with oils and the dropper can handle even thicker oils.
Diluted essential oils and fragrance compositions – glass is resistant to essential oils and alcohol, which would gradually degrade some plastics.
Concentrated active ingredients – for raw materials dosed in tenths of a percent, dropping is more precise than pouring.
Samples and test batches – the small volume allows a trial quantity to be made without wasting raw materials.
Tinctures and alcohol extracts – a glass bottle with a dropper is a common way of packaging alcohol-based preparations in small volumes.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount the container is designed for under normal filling. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is larger. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper, which after screwing in displaces some of the contents upward, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Otherwise the contents will overflow when the dropper is inserted and the neck will remain greasy. The exact values of both volumes are given in the parameters.

Before filling a larger batch, test on one bottle to see where the level reaches after inserting the dropper. With thicker oils and serums, the level settles more slowly, so wait a moment before assessing the fill height.

How the dropper works and dispenses

The dropper has a glass tube and a soft silicone bulb that is squeezed with the fingers. The glass tube does not bend even with thicker oils and does not absorb scent, so repeated use does not alter the character of the contents. Drop size depends on the viscosity and surface tension of the liquid; watery tonics form smaller drops than oils. If a formula requires a precise amount, it is more reliable to weigh the contents and determine the number of drops for that particular liquid once in advance.

The length of the dropper corresponds to the height of the vial; the tube reaches almost to the bottom, allowing the remaining contents to be drawn up too. The glossy black surface of the dropper complements the clear glass.

What is worth knowing

Clear glass does not protect the contents from light. It is best suited for preparations that are used up quickly, or for contents whose colour is part of the presentation. Store light-sensitive ingredients in the dark or choose amber or blue glass.

Preparation before first filling. Wash the bottle and dropper before use, and if needed disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave to dry completely. Residual water in the glass tube can introduce moisture into an anhydrous oil and reduce its stability.

Repeated use. Both the glass and the glass tube of the dropper can be washed and reused. Check the silicone bulb after washing. If it has hardened or lost its elasticity, the dropper will no longer dispense reliably.

Tightness during transport. The dropper is a dispensing closure, not a closure for long transport in luggage. When shipping filled bottles, seal them securely and store upright in protective packaging. During larger temperature fluctuations, the contents may rise into the tube.

Label. The cylindrical shape of the vial allows a label to be applied around the circumference; the dimensions of the vial are given in the packaging parameters.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Allow a hot mixture to cool to at least lukewarm before filling, and never fill the bottle immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range. For a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal and container behaviour with the specific formulation. Glass belongs in sorted glass recycling; the dropper should be separated before recycling.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 10 ml glass bottle with dropper suitable for essential oils?

Yes, both the clear glass and the glass tube of the dropper are resistant to undiluted and diluted essential oils. The silicone bulb should not be in permanent contact with the contents, so the bottle should be filled only to the nominal volume and stored upright. For light-sensitive essential oils, we recommend dark glass; the clear variant is suitable for samples and quickly consumed blends.

Does the clear vial protect the contents from light?

No, clear glass transmits light almost without restriction. Preparations sensitive to light, such as oils with a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids or serums containing vitamin C, should be stored in the dark or in a box when using this bottle. If the bottle is to be displayed on a shelf, amber or blue glass is the safer choice.

How much liquid fits in a bottle with a nominal volume of 10 ml?

The bottle is designed for filling with 10 ml of content, although its physical volume up to the neck is larger. The difference is a reserve for the dropper, which after screwing in displaces the level upward, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Filling to the brim will cause overflow when the dropper is inserted, so keep to the nominal volume.

Can the bottle with dropper be washed and reused?

Yes, both the glass and the glass tube of the dropper can be washed with warm water and detergent, rinsed and disinfected with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. The silicone bulb is washed separately and left to dry. If it has lost its elasticity or has absorbed the scent of the previous contents, replace it. Before refilling, the container must be completely dry.

Is this set suitable for watery tonics and hydrolats?

Yes, glass is inert to water-based preparations and the dropper allows even thin liquids to be dispensed. Watery contents form smaller drops than oils, so the number of drops per dose differs and it is worth determining this in advance for the specific preparation. The small volume of the bottle matches the amount that is used up quickly with water-based preparations.

Can this set be used for food, for example aromatic oils for cooking?

No, this set is not approved for contact with food. Both the bottle and the dropper carry a declaration of suitability for cosmetic products, but neither component holds a food contact certificate. For kitchen oils, syrups or herbal extracts, therefore choose a container that explicitly states suitability for contact with food in its parameters.
