To quickly find a suitable bottle, vial or dispenser, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging categories. After clicking on the relevant category, the option of detailed filtering appears at the top of the page, where you can select the neck type, size, colour and also the packaging material. Thanks to this, you can easily put together a compatible combination of container and closure or dispenser according to the needs of your product.

The dispenser can be reused for normal cosmetic use, provided that you follow basic hygiene principles. Before each new filling, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the bottle and the dispenser and disinfecting them with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol from the product IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or plant ethanol from the product Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. This will reduce the risk of microbial contamination and extend the safety of using your product.

The dispenser is most suitable for liquid and slightly viscous preparations, such as facial toners, body and hair emulsions, gentle wash gels and light oil blends. For very thick creams or gels, dosing may be limited, so for new formulations we always recommend making a trial filling to verify the smoothness and consistency of dosing.

After emptying the bottle, you can disassemble the dispenser to the extent allowed by its construction, rinse it with a suitable cleaning agent and then rinse with drinking water. Before the next use, we recommend disinfection with alcohol – for example using the preparations IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. After disinfection, let all parts dry completely at room temperature so that no water remains in the system which could dilute or affect the new formulation.

We recommend verifying compatibility by trial filling a smaller amount of product into the selected bottle with dispenser. Over the course of several days, observe whether there are any changes in the colour, odour or structure of the packaging and whether the dispenser doses smoothly and without leaking. For formulations with a higher content of oils, alcohols or active substances, it is advisable to extend the test and also observe longer-term behaviour – for example after several weeks of storage at room temperature.

If you decide not to reuse the dispenser and the corresponding bottle, we recommend emptying them and removing product residues before disposal. Adapt the method of recycling and sorting to the material indicated in the parameter table for the specific product on the Handymade.sk website. According to the type of plastic or other material, place the packaging in the appropriate sorted waste in accordance with local recycling rules. In this way, you will reduce the environmental burden and ensure the proper processing of the used packaging material.
