Glass bottle, vial, type B, white fine mist sprayer, 100 ml

A glass bottle (type B vial) with a volume of 100 ml and a white spray pump is a ready-to-use container for thin cosmetic liquids applied by spraying. It is particularly suited for hydrosols, tonics and facial mists, body and hair sprays, or room fragrances. The bottle and closure are supplied together, so there is no need to source a spray pump with a matching neck.

Glass does not react with the contents and is compatible with aqueous, alcoholic, and oil-based formulations. The polypropylene spray pump dispenses the product in fine doses, allowing even and economical application. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What products is the set suited for

The spray pump works reliably with liquids whose consistency is close to water. The thicker the contents, the poorer the spray performance.

• Hydrosols and tonics – aqueous products free of solid particles spray evenly.
• Alcoholic and hydroalcoholic sprays – body mists, hair waters, or hand sanitising sprays; glass is resistant to alcohol.
• Low-viscosity hair and body sprays – for example light conditioning sprays or two-phase products that are shaken before use.
• Room and fabric fragrances – glass does not absorb the scent of the contents, so the bottle can be used for a different composition after washing.

Thick oils, gels, emulsions, and mixtures containing undissolved particles (clays, botanical powders, glitter) are not suitable for this container. They exit the spray pump as a stream rather than a mist or clog the nozzle.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the amount for which the bottle is intended under normal filling conditions. Total volume to the brim is the physical capacity up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference serves as a reserve for the spray pump body with its dip tube, which displaces some of the contents when fitted, and for the expansion of the liquid with changes in temperature. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Exact values are listed in the product specifications.

What to keep in mind when filling and using

Before first filling, the bottle is washed, rinsed, and sanitised with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and left to dry completely. The sprayer is not submerged in water: it is sufficient to spray a disinfecting solution through it and allow it to evaporate. Residual water in the container unnecessarily burdens the product's preservation. Water-based products still require effective preservation, just as in any other container.

Glass is poorly suited to sudden temperature changes, so hot mixtures should be allowed to cool before filling. When first used, the spray pump needs to be pressed several times until the dip tube fills and the product begins to dispense.

The bottle can be reused. However, traces of fragrance in the spray pump are difficult to remove when switching contents, so it is worth replacing the pump when moving to a new product. Closures with the same neck type (stated in the specifications) and further ready-to-use combinations are available from Handymade. With a custom combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dosing, and behaviour of the container with the specific formulation.

The cylindrical shape of the vial allows a wrap-around label to be applied. Glass is recyclable; the spray pump should be separated from the bottle before sorting.

A food-contact certificate for direct contact with foodstuffs applies to the glass bottle alone; the spray pump does not hold one. The set as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetic use.
