Glass bottle, vial, nasal spray, 30 ml

Ready-to-use set for cosmetic preparations applied in small amounts as a fine mist: an amber glass vial with a nominal volume of 30 ml fitted with a white nasal spray pump with a narrow applicator. Amber glass protects the contents from light, making it suitable for blends with hydrolats, infusions, and other light-sensitive ingredients. The precise small dose makes this set ideal where a standard spray gives too much – for refreshing mists on small areas of skin, travel-size tonics, or samples where you need to control consumption.

What the set offers

• Light protection – amber glass filters UV and visible light, slowing the degradation of sensitive ingredients and fragrances.
• Small, repeatable dose – the pump dispenses approximately 0.12 ml of content as a fine mist with each press. Consumption is predictable and the preparation is applied exactly where needed.
• Closed system – once filled, the contents do not come into contact with hands or fingers, reducing the risk of contamination during use.
• Odour-neutral glass – glass does not react with the contents or absorb fragrances, so after washing it can be reused for a different preparation.
• Declaration of conformity – both components have their own EU declaration of conformity with the packaging regulation; documents are available with the product.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume for which the container is designed for standard filling. The total brim-full volume is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference provides a margin for the pump's dip tube, the air cushion above the liquid, and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. The bottle is filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim – otherwise, when the pump is fitted, some of the contents will be forced out and the thread will become soiled. Exact values for both volumes are listed in the product specifications.

How the set works and what it is suitable for

The pump screws onto the vial with an 18/410 thread. The dip tube is supplied longer than the height of the bottle and is trimmed before fitting so that it reaches the bottom – allowing virtually all the contents to be dispensed. Before first use, the mechanism must be pressed several times until the tube fills and the mist begins to dispense evenly. The pump is set for fine dispersion and a small volume, so it is not suitable for thick or viscous preparations – these would clog the nozzle or emerge as a stream rather than a mist.

Particularly suitable are aqueous and hydroalcoholic preparations with low viscosity:

• refreshing and soothing mists with hydrolats or plant infusions for small areas of skin,
• travel or sample-size facial tonics that are otherwise sold in larger containers,
• fine spray preparations where the dose should be small and precisely measured,
• fragrance or aromatic mists with a low proportion of oil, fully solubilised in water.

Oil-based preparations and blends with an undissolved oil phase are not suitable for this pump – the fine nozzle reliably disperses only thin liquids, and oil would gradually clog it.

Contact with food and cosmetics

The glass vial has a separate certificate for direct contact with food and with cosmetics. The pump is declared for cosmetics. The set as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetic preparations and is not suitable for packaging food.

What to know before filling

Before first filling, we recommend washing both components, rinsing the glass with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and allowing it to dry completely. The pump is disinfected by flushing with alcohol followed by clean water to ensure no residue remains in the mechanism. Components are assembled only onto dry glass – otherwise water droplets in the neck will enter the preparation.

The plastic parts of the pump and the steel spring come into contact with the contents. For preparations with a higher proportion of essential oils, alcohol, or solvents, we recommend filling one unit as a test and checking after a few weeks whether the mechanism still dispenses the same way and whether the scent or colour of the contents has changed. The glass itself is resistant to these ingredients.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes – a hot preparation must not be poured into the vial; it should be allowed to cool to room temperature first. The straight cylindrical section of the bottle is intended for the label.

At the end of use, the glass is sorted as glass packaging. The pump is a multi-component part made of plastics with a steel spring and belongs in plastic waste according to the rules in your region.
