Yes, the packaging is designed for dispensing creamy and emulsion products with the usual viscosity of face and body creams. For very thick balms, we recommend performing a trial filling and observing whether the dispenser ensures smooth and even extrusion without clogging. If necessary, the formulation can be slightly adjusted (for example by adding a small water or oil phase) so that it better matches the dispensing type.

Before the first filling, we recommend mechanically cleaning the packaging from dust, rinsing it with a suitable cleaning agent and, after thorough drying, disinfecting it. For disinfection in home and professional production, the use of alcohol-based preparations, such as isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, has proved effective. In the Handymade range, you can use the products IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based. After applying the disinfectant, allow the surface to dry completely in order to minimise the transfer of moisture into the finished product.

The packaging can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. After the contents have been used up, we recommend thoroughly disassembling the bottle and all parts of the dispenser, mechanically cleaning and rinsing them. Subsequently, before each refilling, the packaging must always be cleaned and disinfected, ideally using alcohol-based preparations such as IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based. With repeated use, monitor whether the dispenser still seals and doses correctly, and in the event of mechanical wear or visible damage, consider replacing it.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend placing it in sorted waste collection according to the material stated in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle should, after rinsing off product residues, be placed in a container designated for glass. Plastic or metal components of the dispenser are sorted according to the type of material used, which you can find in the technical parameters and in the Packaging quality certificate. Before placing into sorted collection, remove product residues so that the packaging is not heavily soiled. By recycling, you conserve raw materials and reduce the amount of packaging waste.

To choose suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant category (for example bottles, jars or dispensers). In the advanced filter it is possible to combine several parameters at once – especially the type and neck diameter, total size, colour and packaging material. Thanks to this, you will quickly find packaging that is compatible with specific closures or dispensers and at the same time meets your design and functional requirements.

When filling, it is advisable to use clean tools (e.g. spatulas, funnels) to minimise direct contact of the skin with the product and the inner surface of the packaging. Fill the cream into a completely dry and disinfected package, trying to leave sufficient space below the neck for the proper function of the dispenser. Store finished products in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations, in order to preserve the stability of the formulation as well as the integrity of the packaging. For each new formulation, we recommend testing the behaviour of the cream in the packaging over several days (e.g. changes in viscosity, colour or fragrance).
