Yes, the packaging can be reused if hygiene rules are followed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dropper must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected in order to minimise the risk of microbial contamination. For disinfection we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol available in our range: IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. After disinfection, allow all parts to dry thoroughly at room temperature and only then refill.

The dropper bottle is ideal for products that require precise drop-by-drop dosing. It is most often used for facial and eye serums, intensive oil elixirs, concentrated active ingredients, essential oils, aromatherapeutic blends and perfume oils. It is also suitable for test samples and development formulations where it is important to monitor consumption and dosing precisely.

First remove the residues of the original product by mechanically rinsing with lukewarm water and a suitable mild cleaning agent. Then rinse the bottle thoroughly so that no detergent residues remain. After washing, the packaging and the dropper must be disinfected – you can use alcohol-based preparations, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. After applying the alcohol, allow all parts to dry naturally. Only after they are completely dry is the packaging ready for new filling.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend its environmentally friendly disposal according to the material types listed in the product parameters. The glass part of the bottle can normally be placed in a container intended for glass, while the dropper (plastic, rubber, possibly metal components) should be separated before disposal and sorted according to local rules for the collection of plastics and household waste. Before recycling, it is advisable to rinse the packaging to remove any product residues so that impurities are not transferred into the recycling process. Always follow the specific recommendations based on the information on material composition given in the parameter table for the product on the Handymade.sk website.

To make it easier to choose suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the filter you can combine several parameters at once – for example neck type, packaging size, colour or material. In this way you can quickly narrow down the selection to only those packaging options that meet the required properties of your product and easily find the ideal bottle, dropper bottle or other packaging material for your formulations.
