Gloss Black Glass Bottle, Glossy Gold Black Pump With Clear Overcap, 50 ml

The glossy black glass bottle with a capacity of 50 ml and a black and gold pump is ready-to-use packaging for serums, facial oils and light emulsions. The opaque black glass protects the contents from light, the pump dispenses the same dose with every press, and the contents do not come into contact with your fingers during use. The bottle and the pump fit together, so nothing else needs to be bought separately.

The bottle has a medicine bottle shape with straight walls and stands stably even on a small bathroom shelf. The clear overcap of the pump protects the nozzle from dust. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial serums – both water-based and oil-based serums are dispensed in small amounts, the pump measures out the dose without leaking, and the dark glass protects sensitive active ingredients from light.
• Facial and body oils – vegetable oils prone to oxidation benefit from both the opaque glass and the closed system, which lets in less air during dispensing than an open neck does.
• Light emulsions and fluids – liquid creams, day emulsions or fluids with a lower viscosity are dispensed conveniently and hygienically.
• Hair oils and beard oils – the 50 ml volume matches the usual size of hair and beard care products, and one dose is enough for one application.
• Samples and gift packs – the set in contrasting black and gold suits smaller batches and the presentation of your own brand without additional decoration.

How to fill and dispense

The nominal volume of 50 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful capacity is larger and you can find it in the parameters. The difference is a reserve for the tube and the body of the pump, which take up part of the inner space once screwed in. The bottle is therefore filled up to the nominal volume and the neck stays free.

One press of the pump dispenses approximately 0.3 ml of product. For a serum or an oil, this corresponds to a dose for one application to the face; for a body product, press the pump several times. When using it for the first time, prime the pump by pressing it several times until the tube and the chamber fill and the product starts to come out.

The pump works with liquid to medium-thick products. It will not draw up thick creams, butters or balms that do not flow at room temperature. For emulsions with a higher viscosity, it is worth testing the dispensing on a sample before filling the whole batch.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely. It is enough to rinse the pump with clean water or alcohol and also let it dry, so that no water gets into the product. When reusing the pump, clean it by pumping warm water with a little washing-up liquid through it, then clean water and finally alcohol.

Glass does not tolerate thermal shock well. The product is filled only after it has cooled to room temperature. A hot filling may damage the bottle and, once the pump is screwed on, creates an overpressure that then pushes the product up the tube.

The pump is made of polypropylene and aluminium. Polypropylene tolerates common cosmetic oils and emulsions. For products with a high proportion of essential oils or alcohol, we recommend checking the tightness and the behaviour of the seal on a single piece before filling the whole batch.

For recycling, the pump is unscrewed and sorted separately from the glass. After cleaning, the empty bottle can be reused, and so can the pump after thorough cleaning. Other closures in the Handymade range fit the same neck type; when making your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and the dispensing with your specific formulation.
