Green Glass Bottle, White Lotion Pump, 30 ml

The green glass bottle with a 30 ml volume and a white lotion pump is intended for facial serums, fluids, light creams and gels that are applied in small doses. The pump dispenses the same amount every time, the contents do not touch your fingers, and the bottle stays closed during use. The green glass also filters out some of the light, which helps with formulations containing light-sensitive active ingredients.

Both the bottle and the pump are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set is not intended for food.

What the set is suitable for

The 30 ml volume corresponds to a common pack size for facial products that are used up within a few weeks. The lotion pump handles consistencies from a liquid serum to a medium-thick cream.

• Serums and facial fluids – a small dose per press corresponds to the amount normally applied to the face.
• Eye creams and contour creams – dispensing in small amounts prevents waste and unnecessary contact with the contents.
• Light to medium-thick creams and gels – they pass through the dip tube and nozzle without problems.
• Formulations with sensitive active ingredients – vitamin C, retinol or plant extracts have less contact with light and fingers in tinted glass and a closed system.

Thick body butters, balms or products with a higher proportion of solid ingredients are not suitable for the lotion pump. The dip tube will not draw them up and the pump will jam.

How the pump works

One press dispenses approximately 0.14 ml of the contents. When making your products, you can easily calculate how many doses correspond to the recommended amount for a single application and state this in the instructions for your customer. The first presses after filling serve to draw the contents into the dip tube until the product appears in the nozzle. The dip tube should reach the bottom of the bottle so that the pump also draws up the last remnants.

The pump simply screws onto the 18 mm neck. Before shipping the finished product, we recommend checking that the connection is tight and how your particular formulation behaves in the pump, especially with very liquid serums, which may leak through the nozzle during transport. You can find other closures with the same neck type and ready-made combinations in the Handymade range.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and can be found in the parameters. The difference between them provides a reserve for the pump’s dip tube and the headspace above the liquid. Fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If you fill it up to the neck, the contents will overflow when the pump is screwed on.

Fill emulsions cooled to room temperature. A hot product in a cold bottle may crack the glass. A syringe without a needle or a small funnel is suitable for filling the small neck.

Good to know

• Preparation before the first filling – wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the pump and let it dry as well, as moisture in the dip tube would get into the product.
• Reuse – the glass can be washed and refilled. Before reusing the pump, pump warm water with a small amount of cleaning product through it, then clean water, and leave it to dry.
• Anhydrous oil-based products – the pump is made of polypropylene. For oils with a high proportion of essential oils or for solvents, we recommend checking whether the plastic changes its properties after longer contact.
• Green glass and light – it filters out some of the light but does not replace storage in the dark. Keep light-sensitive products away from direct sunlight even in this packaging.
• Recycling – take the set apart before disposal and sort the glass and the plastic pump separately.
