White Plastic Bottle, Silver Pump, 100 ml

The white plastic bottle with pump, 100 ml, is designed for liquid and cream cosmetic products that are dispensed by pressing: body lotions and face lotions, lighter creams, liquid soaps and conditioners in smaller packs. The bottle is made of PET, is lightweight and does not break when dropped, so it suits both the bathroom and travel. The white wall limits the amount of light reaching the contents and hides their colour, so you can also fill it with a formulation that does not look presentable. The pump with a clear head and a glossy silver collar is supplied together with the bottle as a set.

What it is suitable for

The pump dispenses approximately 0.65 ml per press. This amount corresponds to one application of hand cream, face lotion or a more fluid serum. During dispensing the contents do not come into contact with your fingers and the bottle stays closed, so the formulation is less exposed to air and impurities than in a jar.

• Body lotions and face lotions – liquid O/W emulsions pass through the pump without problems.
• Liquid soaps and hand cleansing gels – the 100 ml volume suits a work desk, a handbag or a sample pack.
• Conditioners and light creams – with a thicker texture, test whether the pump draws it up.
• Massage oils and body oils – the pump handles thin vegetable oils without problems.

How to use the set

Fill the bottle up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The total volume up to the neck is larger, and the difference provides room for the pump dip tube and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. If you overfill the bottle, the contents will leak out through the neck once the pump is screwed on.

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the pump, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Disinfect the pump on the inside as well: press the head several times with the dip tube immersed in ethanol, then leave the emptied pump to dry.

A thick emulsion or a cream with a higher proportion of waxes may get stuck in the dip tube or flow back after pressing. If you plan to fill a thicker formulation, check how the pump behaves with a small amount before filling the whole batch.

Good to know

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and the declaration of conformity is available with the product. The bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact, while the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

The bottle withstands repeated filling. The pump can be reused if, after emptying, you rinse it with warm water and ethanol and leave it to dry. When changing the formulation, we recommend a new pump instead, as residues of the previous contents in the mechanism cannot be removed completely.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. If you want to replace the pump with a different closure, choose a closure with the same neck type from the Handymade range and, for your own combination, check the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.

The bottle is made of PET with material code 1 and, once emptied and rinsed, belongs in sorted plastic waste. The pump combines plastic with an aluminium collar, so unscrew it before recycling and dispose of it separately from the bottle.
