Clear Glass Bottle, Glossy Silver White Dropper, 50 ml

The glass bottle with dropper is a set for precise drop-by-drop dispensing of liquid cosmetic preparations. The clear glass lets you see the contents, so it is especially suitable for face serums, oils for the face and hair, nail blends or tinctures, where the colour and clear consistency are part of the result. The nominal volume of 50 ml corresponds to the usual size of a serum or oil that is used up within a few months.

The set includes a dropper with a glossy silver shell and a glass tube. The length of the dropper is matched to the height of the bottle, and it draws up the contents even at a lower level. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Only the glass bottle on its own has a certificate for direct contact with food; the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

What to use it for

• Face serums – water-based and oil-based, dispensed drop by drop onto clean skin.
• Oil blends – oils for the face, beard, hair ends or cuticles, where a few drops are enough.
• Tinctures and concentrates – alcohol extracts and fragrance blends that are added to a product in a small amount.
• Samples and test batches – a volume of 50 ml is enough to try out a formulation without wasting raw material.

Clear glass does not protect the contents from light. Oils with a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids or serums with vitamin C should therefore be stored in the dark, or you may consider amber or blue glass.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume is the volume the packaging is intended for under normal filling. The brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper tube, which displaces part of the contents once it is screwed in.

To dispense, squeeze the dropper bulb above the liquid level, immerse the tube and release. Thicker serums with a gel consistency fill the tube more slowly and form larger drops. Thin oils and tinctures are drawn up quickly.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the dropper, disinfect them and let them dry completely. Residual water in the tube would introduce moisture into an anhydrous oil. The glass withstands repeated washing, so the bottle can be used several times. For the dropper, check before each further use that the bulb is still springy and draws up liquid properly.

The bottle has an 18/410 neck finish. You will find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the tightness and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation. With concentrated essential oils and solvents, also check how the plastic and silicone parts of the dropper react to them.

An empty glass bottle belongs in glass recycling. The dropper is made of several materials, so before recycling separate the glass tube from the aluminium shell and the plastic parts.
