Yes, this type of glass bottle can be used repeatedly if hygiene rules are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to clean the packaging thoroughly and then disinfect it. For disinfection, we recommend using suitable alcoholic preparations, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol in cosmetic grade. On Handymade you will find the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol and ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based, which are intended for disinfection of packaging before filling. Only after the inner surface has completely dried is the bottle ready for further use.

The bottle with spray pump is most suitable for aqueous and low-viscosity preparations that need to be applied as a fine mist. These are mainly face and body sprays, hydrating mists, hair sprays, light leave-in conditioners, perfume and eau de toilette, air fresheners or aromatherapeutic sprays. With thicker emulsions or oil blends, the dispersion may be less even, so for your own formulations we recommend carrying out a test filling and checking the quality of spraying.

Before repeated use, it is advisable to disassemble the bottle into the glass container and the plastic parts of the spray pump. The glass can be rinsed with warm water and a mild cleansing agent, rinsed thoroughly and left to dry. We then recommend disinfecting the inner surface with alcohol, for example with the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based, and again allowing it to air out completely and dry. For the spray pump, it is advisable to press the mechanism several times with clean water and then with the disinfectant solution so that the inner dip tube and nozzle are also flushed through. Only after both parts have completely dried is the packaging ready for new filling.

If you decide not to use the bottle with spray pump repeatedly, recycling according to the material composition stated in the parameter table for the product is recommended. The glass body of the bottle can usually be placed in a container intended for glass after thoroughly emptying and rinsing off product residues. The plastic parts of the spray pump (cap, spray head, dip tube) belong in plastic collection or mixed waste, according to local sorting rules. Before disposal, it is advisable to remove any remaining contents from the packaging to facilitate recycling and reduce the burden on the environment. Always check the specific sorting method according to the material designation in the product parameters and the local waste collection system.

On Handymade you can use the advanced filter when choosing suitable packaging, which is located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the advanced filter you can easily select a combination of parameters such as neck type, size and volume, colour and material of the packaging. In this way you quickly filter only those bottles, dropper bottles, jars or pots that correspond to your formulation and visual concept. We also recommend checking the details in the product parameters and, if necessary, first ordering a smaller quantity to test compatibility with the specific composition.
