Clear Glass Bottle, Glossy Silver White Dropper, 100 ml

A glass bottle with a dropper is a ready-made set for filling and dispensing liquid cosmetic preparations that are applied drop by drop. The transparent glass reveals the colour and clarity of the contents, while the dropper measures out a precise amount without spillage. It is particularly suitable for facial serums, facial and hair oils, oil blends with essential oils, and tinctures in a volume of 100 ml — that is, for preparations where the customer uses only a few drops at a time and appreciates being able to see how much remains.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. The glass bottle alone holds a certificate for direct food contact; the dropper does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetic use.

Why choose this set

• Precise dosing – the dropper measures individual drops, which is practical for serums with active ingredients, concentrated oils or blends where the amount matters. The contents do not need to be poured through the neck and are less likely to become contaminated.
• Glass does not affect the contents – glass is chemically stable, releases nothing into the fill, and does not absorb scent. It is therefore also suitable for essential oils and alcohol-based tinctures, which plastic packaging could gradually damage.
• Transparent glass shows the contents – the customer can see the colour, clarity, and remaining quantity. For preparations where colour is part of the impression (tinted oils, herbal macerates), this is an advantage.
• Silver appearance of the dropper – the glossy silver cap complements the clear glass and looks clean and cohesive without any additional finishing, which is appreciated for small batches without custom packaging design.

For which preparations is the set suitable

The set is intended for liquid and low-viscosity fills that the dropper can draw up and release drop by drop: facial serums on both water and oil bases, facial, hair and nail oils, oil blends with essential oils, herbal macerates and tinctures. It is also suitable for dispensing active ingredients and concentrates in small batches.

Less suitable for thick serums with a higher content of thickeners, gels and emulsions that the dropper cannot draw up or release. For such textures, packaging with a pump or a jar is more appropriate.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for during standard filling, and this is the volume that belongs on the label. Total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference between them allows for the dropper tube, which extends into the bottle and displaces some of the fill, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. The exact values of both volumes are listed in the product parameters.

How the dropper works and what to watch out for

The dropper consists of a glass tube, a silicone bulb, and a threaded collar that screws onto the bottle neck. Squeezing the bulb draws the fill into the tube; squeezing again releases it drop by drop. The length of the dropper matches the height of this bottle, so the remaining contents can also be dispensed.

For fills with a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend testing how the silicone bulb behaves in prolonged contact with the specific formulation before a larger batch. The glass part of the dropper and the bottle have no issue with this.

The set consists of a bottle with an 18/410 neck and a dropper with the same thread type. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range. When using a different closure, we recommend checking the tightness and behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.

What is good to know before filling

Before first use, we recommend washing and disinfecting the bottle and dropper with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allowing them to dry completely. Residual water in an oil serum or tincture can impair product stability. Thorough drying is important for the glass tube of the dropper as well.

After screwing the dropper on, check that the collar seats evenly and seals properly. Transport filled products in an upright position; the dropper is not designed for the filled packaging to be stored lying down for extended periods.

Glass can withstand normal filling temperatures, but not sudden temperature changes. Do not pour hot fill into a cold bottle, or vice versa.

The bottle is made of glass and can be reused — after washing and disinfecting, simply fill it again. When reusing the dropper, check it, especially the elasticity of the bulb. For recycling, the bottle goes into glass; the dropper, made of plastic, silicone and aluminium, should be separated from the bottle before disposal.
