Glass bottle, green, black-gold dropper, 10 ml

The green glass bottle with a black and gold dropper is a ready-made set for 10 ml of content, dispensed drop by drop. It is suitable for facial serums, essential oil blends, oil elixirs for the face or beard, and small quantities of tinctures. The dropper fits the bottle neck, so there is no need to look for a separate closure, and its length is matched to the height of the bottle, so you can draw up the content even when the level is low.

“Medicine bottle” describes the shape: a cylindrical bottle with a short neck and a flat base, which stands stably even at a small volume. The black and gold closure looks dark and understated, and suits both dark and simple packaging designs. The dropper tube is made of glass, the bulb of silicone, and the cap of plastic combined with aluminium.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial and hair serums – the dropper dispenses a small amount onto your fingers or palm, without your fingers touching the content in the bottle.
• Essential oil blends and aromatherapy concentrates – the glass tube withstands contact with essential oils.
• Oils for the beard, cuticles and eyelashes – a volume of 10 ml matches the amount that is used up within a reasonable time with this kind of use.
• Samples and test batches – when developing a formulation, the bottle holds just as much as you need to test on the skin.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts for cosmetic use in a small pack, where precise dispensing matters.

Filling and dispensing

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brim-full volume, given in the parameters, is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference leaves room for the dropper tube, which pushes part of the content upwards when screwed in, and for the expansion of the content when the temperature changes. Fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle overflows when closed and the content gets onto the thread, where it becomes sticky and makes opening difficult.

The dropper is intended for liquid content. Oils, thin serums, and alcohol-based and water-based solutions are drawn up and dispensed evenly with it. The tube cannot draw up thicker gels and emulsions, for which a different type of closure is more suitable.

The dropper matches the thread type of the bottle given in the parameters. If you later want to close the bottle differently, you will find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations 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.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the dropper, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. With the dropper, watch out for water residues in the tube, which could get into oil-based contents.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Let oil concentrates or tinctures that you have heated cool down before filling.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and the declaration of conformity is available with the product.

You can reuse the bottle after washing it. With the dropper, check that the bulb holds its shape and the tube is not cracked. Strong fragrances stay in silicone for a long time, so we advise against switching the dropper between different fragrance blends. The bottle belongs in glass recycling; the dropper combines several materials, so separate it from the bottle before recycling.
