Yes, the glass bottle with dropper is also suitable for oil serums and slightly thicker blends. However, for very viscous formulations we recommend carrying out a trial filling and testing whether the dropper provides a dosing rate that is comfortable for you. If necessary, within the same category you can choose another type of closure or applicator that will better match the consistency of the product.

The packaging can be reused provided that hygienic principles are followed, which is practical for small-scale production as well as for home production of cosmetics. Before each new filling, the bottle and the respective closures must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. For disinfection we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based product, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol of a grade intended for this purpose, which you can also find in the Handymade range (e.g. products available from categories listed under the codes ALK001 / ALK002). This will ensure minimisation of microbiological risk and optimal conditions for storing your formulations.

Before further use, we recommend first rinsing the bottle with the remaining carrier medium (for example oil or water, depending on the type of previous filling), then washing it with a suitable cleaning agent and rinsing thoroughly with clean water. After drying, it is advisable to disinfect the bottle and the closure components with alcohol of sufficient concentration (for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol intended for disinfection of work tools). Packaging prepared in this way is suitable for refilling and helps to prevent undesirable changes in the scent, colour or stability of formulations.

The matte surface of the glass pharmacy bottle is suitable for applying labels as well as for simple creative marking. We recommend using high-quality self-adhesive labels suitable for glass, which withstand normal handling and possible contact with oils or moisture. Before applying the label, clean and degrease the outer surface of the packaging to prevent it from peeling off. For professional branding, you can also use printing or special decorative elements, always with regard to preserving the legibility of the mandatory information on the product.

If you decide not to use the packaging any further, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local waste-sorting rules. The glass part can, after emptying and basic cleaning, be placed in the container intended for sorted glass waste, while the closure, dropper or other plastic or rubber components should be sorted according to the material specified in the product parameters. Before disposal, remove any remaining contents and, if possible, separate the individual material parts (glass, plastic, rubber) so that recycling is as effective as possible.

To select suitable packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging material category. Using the filter, you can easily sort the offer according to key parameters – for example by neck type, packaging size, colour or material. This narrows down the selection to packaging that best matches your specific formulation and the visual concept of your brand, and makes it easier to find the optimal bottle, pharmacy bottle or other packaging for your product.
