Plastic bottle, white, matte, 24/410, without cap, 250 ml

This white matte PET bottle with a volume of 250 ml and a 24/410 neck finish is designed for filling your own cosmetics in a larger pack. The white opaque wall limits the amount of light reaching the contents, which helps with oils, plant extracts and active ingredients that lose stability in light. PET is lightweight and does not break when dropped, so the bottle is suitable for the bathroom, the shower and for travel. It is supplied without closure; you can choose a closure according to the thickness and the dispensing method of your product.

The bottle is of cosmetic and technical grade. It is intended for contact with cosmetic products and can also be used outside cosmetics, for example for homemade cleaning mixtures.

What it is suitable for

The 250 ml volume corresponds to the usual pack size of products that are used every day and are used up quickly.

• Shower gels and shampoos – liquid and slightly thickened rinse-off products, where unbreakable packaging is appreciated in the shower.
• Body lotions and light creams – thinner emulsions that are dispensed with a pump or squeezed out through the cap.
• Massage and body oils – the white wall protects oils rich in unsaturated fatty acids from light, which speeds up their oxidation.
• Toners, hydrosols and hair tonics – water-based solutions for repeated spraying or for pouring onto a cotton pad.
• Household cleaning mixtures – vinegar and soap solutions or other technical liquids where the contents do not need to be visible.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume of 250 ml is the volume the bottle is designed to hold when filled normally. The total brimful volume is larger, because the bottle has a reserve above the liquid level for the closure, pump or sprayer and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not up to the neck. If it were filled to the brim, the contents would be pushed out when the closure is screwed on, and there would be no room to insert the pump.

Closures

The 24/410 neck finish is a common size. You will find closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made bottle + closure combinations, in the Handymade range. If you choose your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the bottle with your specific formulation, especially with thick creams or oils.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Residual water in the packaging shortens the shelf life of the finished product.

After thorough washing and disinfection, the bottle can be reused. For contents with a high proportion of alcohol or with undiluted essential oils, we recommend testing them in PET first, as some ingredients may soften or discolour the plastic over time. Common emulsions, water-based solutions and vegetable oils are filled into PET bottles as standard.

The matte white surface does not show the level of the contents; the weight of the bottle in your hand helps you estimate the remaining amount. PET is sorted as plastic; before disposal, it is enough to rinse the bottle and separate the closure.
