Before the first filling, we recommend visually checking the packaging and removing dust or minor impurities. It is then advisable to thoroughly clean and disinfect both the bottle and the dropper. For disinfection, you can use, for example, isopropyl alcohol or ethanol suitable for technical surface disinfection, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. After applying the disinfectant, let the packaging air out thoroughly and dry at room temperature so that no residues of alcohol or moisture remain inside.

The glass packaging can be used repeatedly if hygienic principles are observed. Between individual fillings, it is necessary to thoroughly empty the bottle and the dropper, clean them mechanically and then disinfect them, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Before the next filling, make sure that the internal surfaces are completely dry and free of residues from the previous formulation. When switching to another type of product (e.g. from an oil-based to a water-based one), we recommend carrying out a trial filling so that the fragrance, colour or stability of the new product is not unintentionally affected.

If you decide not to use the packaging any further, we recommend recycling it according to the type of material specified in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle, after emptying and basic cleaning, is usually placed in the container intended for glass. The dropper is usually made from a combination of several materials (plastic, rubber, possibly glass), so it is advisable to disassemble it into separate parts before disposal and sort them according to local waste collection rules. Always follow local recommendations for packaging sorting and take into account the material information given for the specific product on the Handymade.sk website.

The dropper bottle is ideal for low- to medium-viscosity liquids that need to be dosed drop by drop or in a small volume. Typical uses include facial and body oils, serums, active concentrates, aromatherapeutic blends or hair treatments. For thick balm-like or gel products, dosing with a dropper may be limited, so we recommend carrying out trial dosing before the final filling and, if necessary, choosing a more suitable type of closure or pump.

On Handymade.sk, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after entering a specific packaging category. Thanks to the filter, you can easily select packaging according to the parameters that are most important for your product – you can filter by neck type, size, colour and material. In this way, you can quickly narrow down the offer to only those bottles, jars or pots that match your formulation and the intended method of application.
