Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly if proper hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and disinfect both the bottle and the dropper in order to minimize the risk of microbial contamination of the new product. For disinfection we recommend using technical alcohol, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol at the appropriate concentration, which you can find in the category of disinfection raw materials on Handymade.sk, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. After disinfection, allow the packaging to dry completely and only then fill it again.

The bottle with dropper is most suitable for products where precise drop-by-drop dosing is important – for example intensive facial serum, oil elixirs, hair toners, concentrated active blends or aromatherapeutic preparations. Thanks to the dropper, it is possible to conveniently regulate the amount of product applied and minimize waste, which you will appreciate in the case of more expensive or highly concentrated raw materials.

Before the first filling we recommend mechanically cleaning the packaging from any possible impurities, then washing it with a suitable cleaning agent and rinsing thoroughly with water. After drying, disinfect the bottle and dropper with alcohol (for example using the products IPA 99 % or Ethanol 96 % available on Handymade.sk) and let them air dry. Only after the alcohol has completely evaporated and all parts of the packaging have dried is the bottle ready to be filled with the final product.

Always store and transport the bottle with the dropper tightened firmly in order to minimize the risk of leakage of the contents. It is recommended to protect it from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and strong impacts. When transporting a larger quantity of packaging or finished products, it is advisable to use the original or another reinforced outer packaging that prevents the glass containers from bumping against each other. For formulations sensitive to light or heat, choose storage in a cooler and dry environment according to the recommendations for the specific product.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local waste sorting rules and the information stated in the product parameters for this packaging on Handymade.sk. The glass bottle is usually classified in the category of sorted glass, while the dropper may contain a combination of plastic, rubber or silicone sealing and possibly metal parts, which should be separated as far as possible before disposal. Before handing it over for recycling, empty and rinse the packaging so that no product residues remain in it, and then discard it in the appropriate container according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and local recycling rules.

To select the right packaging you can use the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category on Handymade.sk. In the advanced filter you can conveniently choose the required parameters, such as neck type, size, colour or packaging material. Thanks to this, you will quickly select bottles, pharmaceutical bottles, jars or other containers that best meet the requirements of your formula and the planned method of dosing.
