Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly for home cosmetics as well as small-scale production, provided it is kept in good technical condition and basic hygiene rules are followed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to clean the bottle and the dropper thoroughly and then disinfect them with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Only after the alcohol has completely dried and evaporated is the packaging ready for the next filling.

The bottle with built-in dropper is ideal for concentrated liquid formulations where precise drop-by-drop dosing is important. In practice, it is most often used for facial and body oils, serums with active ingredients, care oils for nails and cuticles, hair and scalp treatments or aromatherapeutic oil blends intended for external use. The dropper enables hygienic and controlled application even with a small volume of the final product.

Before first use we recommend mechanically cleaning the glass container and the dropper, rinsing them with a suitable detergent and clean water and then allowing them to dry thoroughly. After drying, it is advisable to disinfect the internal surfaces and parts that come into contact with the product with an alcohol-based preparation, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol 96 %. Allow the disinfectant solution to evaporate and only then fill the bottle with the prepared formulation.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the material type indicated in the product parameters. After emptying and basic cleaning, the glass bottle should be sorted into the appropriate glass recycling stream according to local collection rules. The cap with dropper consists of several components that may have different material compositions; therefore follow the recommendation in the parameter table for the product on the Handymade.sk website and the local waste sorting rules. Always minimise product residues in the packaging before disposal.

The simplest way to choose is to use the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category (for example bottles, dropper bottles, jars or pots). In the advanced filter you can sort the packaging by several parameters – specifically by neck type, size, colour and material. Thanks to this you can quickly display only those packaging options that match your formulation, preferred design and dosing method.

We recommend storing products in the bottle at a stable room temperature, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Always ensure that the dropper is firmly closed after use, which reduces the risk of contamination and evaporation of volatile components. For long-term storage of sensitive formulations, it is recommended to regularly check the clarity, scent and consistency of the product and, in case of any change, not to continue using the packaging or its contents.
