Yes, the bottle can be reused provided that hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the packaging, including the spray mechanism, and then disinfect it, for example using isopropyl alcohol ALK001 – IPA 99 % or plant-based ethanol ALK002 – Ethanol 96 %. Only after it has completely dried is it appropriate to refill the bottle in order to minimize the risk of microbial contamination and any effect on the stability of your formulation.

The pharmaceutical bottle with spray applicator is optimal for low-viscosity, liquid formulations that need to be applied in a thin layer – for example facial and body waters, hydrolats, refreshers, hair tonics or aromatic sprays. For more viscous emulsions, higher-viscosity oils or preparations containing particles, we recommend performing a dosing test to check whether the mechanism provides sufficiently smooth spraying without clogging.

Before the first filling, we recommend mechanically cleaning the bottle, rinsing it with a suitable cleaning solution and clean water, and then disinfecting it. For final disinfection, it is advisable to use alcohol-based solutions such as isopropyl alcohol or plant-based ethanol, which you can find in our range as IPA 99 % and Ethanol 96 %. After treatment, allow the packaging and spray applicator to dry thoroughly at room temperature so that no residual moisture remains that could affect the stability of the product.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it responsibly according to the material type specified in the product parameters. The glass body of the bottle is usually placed in the container designated for glass. The spray applicator and any plastic parts should be separated and sorted according to local rules for plastic waste. Before disposal, empty the packaging as thoroughly as possible and remove any remaining refill in order to facilitate the recycling process and reduce the environmental burden.

To make it easier to choose a suitable bottle, pharmaceutical bottle, jar or closure, you can use the advanced filter located 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, pack size, colour and material, and display only those products that meet your requirements. In this way you can quickly find a combination of packaging and dosing that will best suit the specific formulation and method of use.

The spray applicator is designed so that when it is correctly screwed onto the neck of the bottle it seals reliably and reduces the risk of unintended leakage of liquid. If you plan to carry the bottle in a handbag or luggage, we recommend always tightening the mechanism firmly and, if available, using an additional protective cap. Before travelling, it is advisable to perform a short test – fill the bottle, close it, turn it upside down and check whether any leakage occurs at the joints or around the nozzle.
