Clear Glass Bottle, Oil Pump, 15 ml

The clear glass bottle with a treatment pump, in a volume of 15 ml, is intended for filling and dispensing oil products that are applied in small doses. One press of the pump always releases the same amount, so the set is particularly suitable for facial oils, oil serums and cuticle oils. The clear glass shows the colour of the contents and the fill level, so you can see how much product is left.

The set consists of three parts: a glass bottle with an 18/410 neck finish, a black plastic treatment pump with a dip tube, and a clear plastic overcap that protects the pump from dirt and accidental pressing. All three parts are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The set is not approved for contact with food.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial oils and oil serums – the pump measures out a small dose without a dropper.
• Cuticle and nail oils – dispense directly onto your finger or the area around the nail.
• Beard oils and oils for hair ends – 15 ml is enough for a test batch or a travel-size pack.
• Samples and test batches – when you need to hand out or try a new recipe in a smaller quantity.

The pump is intended for liquid oil formulations. For thicker oils, oil-based gel textures or products with a higher proportion of wax, we recommend checking in advance that the product dispenses smoothly through the pump.

Dispensing and filling

One press releases approximately 0.18 ml. A constant dose makes it easier for customers to estimate usage and allows the manufacturer to state the number of doses per pack.

The bottle is filled to the nominal volume of 15 ml, not to the brim. The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The brimful volume is the physical capacity up to the neck. The difference leaves room for the dip tube and the pump body, which take up part of the space once fitted. If you fill it further, the contents will overflow through the neck when you screw on the pump.

After fitting the pump, press it several times until the dip tube and the piston fill with oil. Only then does it release a full dose.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Residual water in an oil product promotes the growth of microorganisms and makes the contents cloudy. It is enough to rinse the pump with alcohol and let it drain. Do not immerse the whole pump in water, so that no moisture is left in the mechanism.

Clear glass does not protect the contents from light. Store oils that are sensitive to oxidation, for example those with a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids or those containing essential oils, away from direct light, or choose a bottle made of amber or blue glass.

Glass and temperature. Allow hot mixtures, for example oil with melted wax or a macerated oil straight after heating, to cool before filling. A sudden change in temperature can crack the glass, and hot contents can damage the plastic parts of the pump.

After washing and disinfection, the set can be reused as long as the pump dispenses evenly and the thread seals. When changing the contents, thoroughly remove any residue of the previous oil from the dip tube, otherwise the fragrances and ingredients will mix. For recycling, the glass part goes into glass waste; the plastic parts are unscrewed and sorted separately.

Closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made combinations of the bottle with other caps, can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
