Glass Dropper, Matte Black With Shiny Strip, 71 mm

The black matte dropper with a glossy stripe is a dosing closure for bottles with an 18/415 thread. The contents are dispensed drop by drop, making it particularly suitable for facial serums, oil blends, tinctures and concentrated active ingredients where small, repeatable amounts matter. The matte black collar with a glossy stripe complements black and dark bottles into a coherent whole.

The dropper consists of a glass tube, a collar made of polypropylene (PP) and a silicone bulb used to draw up the contents. The glass tube is resistant to oils, essential oils and alcohol bases, making it suitable for a wider range of contents than droppers with a plastic tube.

Key properties

• Precise dosing – contents are dispensed drop by drop, which is valuable for serums, concentrates and essential oil blends.
• Glass tube – will not absorb the scent or colour of the product and can be thoroughly cleaned.
• Silicone bulb – remains flexible even with frequent use and draws up liquid evenly.
• Matte black surface with a glossy stripe – a uniform look with matte black bottles without any additional decoration.

Which bottles does it fit

The dropper is designed for bottles with an 18/415 thread neck. In the Handymade range you will find them together with ready-made bottle and dropper combinations. In addition to the thread, the length of the glass tube (stated in the parameters) must also match. The tube should end just above the bottom of the bottle so that the remaining contents can also be drawn up, but it should not rest against the bottom. For your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal and dosing with the specific formula.

Suitable for products such as

• facial and hair serums with lower viscosity that are applied drop by drop;
• oil serums and blends of vegetable oils for the face, beard or nail cuticle;
• tinctures and alcohol extracts, for which the glass tube does not react with alcohol;
• diluted essential oil blends and perfume oils for spot application;
• concentrated active ingredients that are added to cosmetics drop by drop.

The dropper is not suitable for thick creams, gels or emulsions with higher viscosity. Such contents will not be drawn into the tube or will not flow out in drops. A pump or jar is more suitable for these products.

Good to know

Before first use, we recommend washing the dropper, rinsing the tube with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leaving it to dry completely. Do not soak the silicone bulb in solvents for extended periods; simply rinse and dry it.

Draw the contents only into the tube, not into the bulb. Liquid in the bulb is difficult to rinse out, may alter its elasticity and when pressed again will be pushed back into the bottle uncontrollably.

The dropper is for dispensing, not for transport. When sending or travelling, check whether it seals on the specific bottle, or transport the bottle upright. With contents sensitive to air, bear in mind that the bulb pushes a small amount of air into the bottle with each press.

After washing and drying, the dropper can be reused as long as the bulb remains flexible and the tube is undamaged. For contents with a strong scent, it is preferable to have a separate dropper for each product. The packaging is suitable for contact with cosmetic products; a declaration of conformity is available with the product.

The dropper is composed of three materials – glass, polypropylene and silicone. Before recycling, it is advisable to separate the individual parts.
