Yes, the glass bottle can be used repeatedly if handled correctly and if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling it is necessary to clean the packaging thoroughly and disinfect it, ideally using a suitable alcohol, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For this purpose, you can use the products IPA 99% – isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based, which help to ensure microbiological cleanliness before reusing the container.

First we recommend emptying the bottle and rinsing it with warm water and a suitable mild cleaning agent. After thoroughly rinsing with clean water, allow the glass to dry completely. Then disinfect the inner surface and the thread with alcohol, for example using isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol. With the dispenser, proceed carefully – a short rinse with a suitable medium (for example alcohol) and subsequent complete drying is recommended, so that the seals or mechanism are not damaged.

Glass packaging is generally a suitable choice for products containing essential oils, since glass is stable and resistant to common aromatherapeutic components. Black matte glass also helps to limit the penetration of light to light-sensitive substances. However, for formulations with a high proportion of essential oils we recommend carrying out your own compatibility test, in order to check the behaviour of the specific blend in contact with the dispenser and seals and at the same time to verify the long-term stability of the product in this type of packaging.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local waste separation rules. After emptying and basic cleaning, place the glass part of the bottle as standard with glass waste in the appropriate collection container. The dispenser, which may contain plastic and metal components, is sorted according to the material specified in the product parameters on the website, or you can hand it in at a collection yard. When recycling, always follow the information in the parameter table of the specific packaging and the recommendations of your municipality or town.

For a quick and precise search of suitable packaging you can use the advanced filter in the packaging material categories. This filter is located at the top of the page after clicking on the chosen category (for example bottles, jars or sprayers). It allows you to filter according to several parameters, such as type of neck, size, colour or packaging material. Thanks to this you can easily choose packaging that best matches your formulation, brand design and the method of application of the final product.
