Glass roll-on, clear, silver cap, plastic ball, 10 ml

A complete glass roll-on bottle with a nominal volume of 10 ml for liquid oil-based preparations that are applied directly to the skin by rolling the ball. The clear glass shows the colour of the contents, and the plastic roller ball spreads a thin layer, so you do not have to drip the product onto your fingers. It is suitable for perfume oils, essential oil blends in a carrier oil, an oil-based eye area serum or lip oil.

The pack includes a glass bottle, a polypropylene roller ball and a silver cap that covers the ball and protects it from dirt. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Perfume oils – alcohol-free fragrances in a carrier oil are applied to the wrists and neck with the roll-on, and the small size fits easily into a handbag.
• Essential oil blends – aromatherapy blends diluted in jojoba or sweet almond oil are applied precisely and in small amounts with the roller ball.
• Eye area oil – the roller ball applies a thin layer around the orbital bone without pressure from the fingers.
• Lip oil or cuticle oil – targeted application to a small area without waste.
• Samples and test batches – 10 ml is enough to try out a new fragrance composition before you mix it in a larger quantity.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the amount the container is intended to hold under normal filling. The brimful capacity given in the parameters is the physical volume of the bottle up to the top of the neck. The difference between the two leaves room for the roller ball, which takes up part of the space in the neck once fitted, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill only up to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

The roll-on works only with liquid contents. Thin oils and oil blends wet the roller ball well and are applied smoothly. Thicker oils, butters dissolved in oil or gel textures are transferred poorly or not at all by the roller ball, so for these we recommend testing the behaviour on a small sample. Water-based and alcohol-based solutions can be applied, but test the tightness of the seal with your specific formulation before filling a larger number of units.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, roller ball and cap, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Drops of water left in the neck do not dissolve in oil-based contents.

Clear glass does not provide protection from light. For oils that are sensitive to oxidation and for essential oils whose fragrance changes with exposure to light, store the roll-on in the dark or in a box. If you need to protect the contents from light, choose amber glass instead.

The roller ball is made of polypropylene, and the cap combines polypropylene with aluminium. For undiluted essential oils or solvents, we recommend checking whether the roller ball changes shape or surface over time.

Once empty, the bottle and cap can be washed and reused. When you change the contents, we recommend replacing the roller ball, as traces of the previous fragrance are difficult to remove from it.
