When choosing a suitable bottle or other packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on the selected category (for example cosmetic packaging or plastic bottles). In the advanced filter you can easily filter packaging according to neck type, size, colour and material, which allows you to quickly find the combination of packaging and closure that best matches your product and technological requirements.

The packaging can be reused if strict hygiene principles are observed and a suitable type of formulation is used. Before each new filling, the bottle and dispenser must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to minimize the risk of microbial contamination. For disinfection we recommend, for example, the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured vegetable, which you can find on the pages /ipa-99-isopropyl-alkohol-1-l/ and /etanol-96-denaturovany-rastlinny-1-l/. After disinfection, let the packaging dry thoroughly and only then fill the new product.

We recommend first rinsing the PET bottle with a suitable residual solvent (for example water or a diluted cleaning solution, depending on the original contents), then gently washing it by hand using a mild dishwashing detergent, rinsing thoroughly with clean water and allowing it to dry completely. PET material should not be exposed to high temperatures, therefore do not expose the bottle or dispenser to boiling water, do not boil them and do not wash them in a dishwasher, where there is a risk of deformation or deterioration of sealing. After washing we recommend disinfecting the packaging before filling with a suitable alcohol-based product and again drying it thoroughly.

If you decide not to continue using the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the type of material given in the product parameters. The body of the bottle is made of PET material, which is normally sorted into the container intended for plastic waste. Before handing over for recycling, it is advisable to empty the packaging and, if necessary, rinse off coarse product residues. The dispenser may contain a combination of several materials (plastic, metal spring), so sort it according to local waste sorting rules – usually into the plastic container, unless otherwise stated in the material description. Always adapt recycling recommendations to the information in the parameter table of the specific packaging on the Handymade website.

This bottle with dispenser is particularly suitable for liquid and slightly viscous cosmetic products, such as facial waters, tonics, light emulsions, body and hair fluids or hydrating milks. In the case of thicker creams or gels, we always recommend carrying out a trial filling and a practical dosing test to verify whether the pump ensures smooth and even dosing without clogging. The suitability of the packaging must always be assessed in the context of the specific formula and its viscosity.

We recommend storing filled bottles in a dry, clean and shaded place at normal room temperature, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Higher temperatures can negatively affect the stability of the cosmetic product and, in the case of long-term exposure, also the packaging material. Do not expose the bottle to frost or extreme temperature fluctuations. It is also important to close the bottle properly with the dispenser to minimize contact of the product with air and impurities throughout the period of use.
