Glass bottle, green, silver matte dropper, 50 ml

The green glass bottle with a silver matte dropper is designed for cosmetic products that are dispensed drop by drop. At 50 ml, it is particularly suitable for facial and oil serums, beard, hair and nail oils, tinctures and diluted concentrates of active ingredients, where only a few drops are applied at a time. Green glass lets through less light than clear glass, so oils and serums with sensitive ingredients are better protected. The matte silver collar with a white head gives the finished product a coherent look without any further finishing. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics.

How the set works

The bottle has the shape of a medicine bottle, with a narrow neck and an 18/410 neck finish. The dropper screws onto the neck and the glass tube reaches almost to the bottom, so the remaining contents can also be used. Squeezing the silicone head draws the liquid in, and it is then released drop by drop. Dispensing is even with thin oils and with water-based and alcohol-based solutions. Thick gels or emulsions are difficult to draw into the tube, and the dropper is not a suitable closure for them.

The glass part of the dropper does not absorb odours and is easy to wash. The head is made of silicone, while the collar and the inner part of the closure are made of aluminium and plastic.

What it is suitable for

• Facial serums – both water-based and oil-based, where a few drops are dispensed into the palm or directly onto the skin.
• Oil blends – beard oils, nail and cuticle oils, massage and treatment oils in a smaller volume.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – the dropper allows precise measuring into a toner or a bath.
• Concentrates for dilution – solutions of active ingredients that the customer adds drop by drop to a finished cream or serum.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 50 ml is the amount the bottle is designed to hold when filled normally. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the product parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper tube, which displaces part of the contents when screwed in, and for the expansion of the liquid when the temperature changes.

Good to know

Before first filling, we recommend washing the bottle and the dropper, disinfecting them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and letting them dry completely. Moisture in the bottle shortens the shelf life of anhydrous oil-based preparations.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes well. Let the contents cool to room temperature before filling, and do not put the bottle straight from the cold into hot water.

The silicone head comes into contact with the vapours of the contents each time it draws liquid in. With concentrated essential oils, solvents and high-percentage alcohol, we recommend checking whether the head softens or changes shape over time. Also check the seal after several days in a tilted position.

After thorough washing and disinfection, the bottle can be reused. Rinse the dropper with warm water and a small amount of cleaning product, blow through the tube and let it dry. When changing the contents, especially after strongly scented oils, it is better to replace the dropper.

Closures with the same 18/410 neck finish and other ready-made bottle and closure combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you are making your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.

The glass bottle belongs in glass recycling. The dropper is made of several materials, so it is recycled separately from the bottle.
