Yes, the glass bottle with a dropper is suitable for most oil-based and watery cosmetic formulations such as serums, oils, light emulsions or liquid concentrates. However, before the final filling we recommend testing the behaviour of the specific recipe in a smaller trial batch – checking the smoothness of dripping, the compatibility of the rubber parts of the dropper with the active substances, and the stability of the product under normal use.

The bottle can be reused if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling it is necessary to clean the packaging thoroughly and then disinfect it with a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. In this way you minimise the risk of microbial contamination and the transfer of residues of the previous product into the new formulation. When changing the type of product (e.g. from an aromatherapeutic oil to a facial serum) we recommend paying exceptional attention to cleaning and disinfecting the packaging.

First, it is appropriate to rinse the glass part of the packaging thoroughly with warm water and a mild cleaning agent, then rinse well with clean water and let it dry completely. After drying, we recommend disinfecting the inside of the bottle with alcohol, for example using the products IPA 99 % or ethanol 96 % plant-based. Proceed gently with the dropper: do not expose the rubber part to very hot water, use lukewarm water, a mild cleaning agent and finally a short disinfection with alcohol. Before refilling, make sure that all parts are dry and free of residues of cleaning agents.

If you decide not to use the bottle any further, we recommend recycling it according to the types of materials listed in the product parameters. The glass body of the packaging can usually be placed in glass collection after emptying and basic rinsing, while the plastic and rubber parts of the dropper (cap, pipette, rubber part) should be separated and sorted according to local rules for plastic or mixed waste collection. When recycling, follow the specific recycling symbols and recommendations given in the parameter table for the product on the Handymade.sk website to ensure correct sorting of the materials.

To select a suitable packaging, you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. Thanks to this, you can quickly narrow down the offer according to several parameters – especially according to the type of neck, size, colour and material. Just tick the corresponding filters and only the packaging that meets your requirements will be displayed. In this way you can easily compare several options and find a bottle, medicine bottle, jar or pot that best suits your product and the intended method of dosing.
