Clear Glass Bottle, Black Spray, 50 ml

Clear glass medicine bottle, black fine mist sprayer, 50 ml

The glass medicine bottle with a black fine mist sprayer is designed for liquid preparations applied as a spray. The 50 ml volume is enough for facial toners, hydrosols, refreshing mists, perfumed waters, hair sprays or hand disinfectant sprays. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics, for both the bottle and the sprayer.

Clear glass shows the colour and purity of the contents, so it suits water-based solutions, coloured hydrosols or preparations where the liquid level should be visible. Glass does not react with the contents, even with alcohol bases, and is easy to clean. The black sprayer on clear glass creates a striking contrast that looks good on a counter and in a bathroom.

How the sprayer dispenses

The sprayer is mechanical, with no propellant. One press releases approximately 0.14 ml of the contents as a fine mist, a dose suitable for spraying on the face, hair or palm. A full bottle therefore gives about 350 presses.

Only a thin, water-like liquid forms a mist. Thicker preparations, gels or oils are not spread into a mist by the nozzle; they come out as a stream or clog the sprayer. This bottle is therefore intended for water-based and water-alcohol formulations, or very light oil sprays once tested in practice.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume of 50 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total volume to the brim is larger. The difference provides room for the sprayer tube and for the contents to expand when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume. A bottle filled to the neck would overflow when the sprayer is screwed on, or the contents would be pushed through the thread.

Water-based and water-alcohol preparations should be poured into the bottle once cooled. Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes, and a hot filling in a cold bottle may cause it to crack.

Good to know

• Light – clear glass does not protect the contents from light. Store preparations with essential oils or plant extracts in the dark, or choose amber or blue glass for them.
• Preparation before filling – wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the sprayer with clean water and let it drain; residual water would dilute the contents.
• Plastic parts of the sprayer – the mechanism is made of polypropylene. With a high proportion of essential oils or other solvents, check beforehand that the seal does not swell and that the pump keeps running smoothly.
• Reuse – after thorough washing and drying, the bottle and the sprayer can be used again. Spray clean water through the sprayer until a clear mist comes out of the nozzle.
• Food contact – only the glass bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact. The set with the sprayer is intended for cosmetics as a whole.
• Recycling – after use, sort the glass and the plastic sprayer separately.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations 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.
