Before the first filling we recommend mechanically rinsing the bottle with a suitable cleaning agent, then thoroughly rinsing it with drinking water and letting it dry completely. To ensure hygienic cleanliness it is advisable to disinfect the packaging before use with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example using IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. When cleaning the dropper, proceed gently so as not to damage the rubber and plastic parts.

Yes, the glass bottle can be used repeatedly if hygienic practices are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dropper must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, for example using isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol. Make sure that all parts of the packaging are completely dry after cleaning and free from residues of the previous product. For significantly different formulations or after long-term use, consider replacing the dropper or the entire packaging with a new one.

The bottle with dropper is particularly suitable for products where precise dosing in drops or in small quantities is important. In practice it is used for facial and eye serums, oil elixirs, concentrated active ingredients, facial boosters, hair and beard oils, aromatherapeutic blends intended for external use, and special treatments for nails and skin. When using it with other types of formulations, always check the viscosity and the behaviour of the product when dosing through the dropper.

We recommend storing filled bottles in a dry place, at a stable room temperature and away from direct sunlight or sources of heat. The dark glass does help protect the contents from light, but to preserve quality it is also important to screw the dropper on tightly and to minimise contact with air and moisture. For products with a higher content of volatile or sensitive substances, follow the recommendations of the raw material manufacturers and regularly check the appearance, scent and texture of the product.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it in accordance with local waste-sorting regulations. The glass part of the bottle can usually be placed in the container designated for glass after removing product residues, while the dropper (plastic and rubber parts, and any metal components) belongs in the appropriate collection stream according to the type of material. Always adapt specific recommendations for sorting and recycling to the material information given in the parameter table on the product page on Handymade.sk and to the rules of your municipal waste collection system.

To choose the right packaging you can use the advanced filter, which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging material category. In the advanced filter you can clearly set parameters such as neck type, size, colour and material of the packaging, as well as other properties according to the options available in the given category. In this way you can easily narrow down the offer to packaging solutions that will best suit your specific product and the desired method of dosing.
