Yes, the glass bottle is suitable for repeated use if properly cared for. For each new filling, however, it is necessary to observe strict hygiene rules – first mechanically clean the packaging from residues of the original product, wash it thoroughly and then disinfect the inner and outer surface. For disinfection we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol available in our range: IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96% denatured plant-based. Only after thorough drying is the packaging ready for safe reuse.

If you decide not to reuse the bottle, we recommend first emptying it and removing any product residues. The glass is then sorted according to general rules: a clean glass container should be placed in the container intended for glass according to local waste sorting. Information about the material of the cap and the recommended method of recycling can be found in the parameter table at the product on the Handymade.sk website. In the case of a combined package (glass + metal closure) it is ideal to separate the individual parts and sort them according to the type of material in line with local waste collection rules.

The bottle is ideal for packaging concentrated facial serums, oil elixirs, dry oils, hair treatments, boosters, active solutions and various oil or hydro-alcoholic blends intended for external use. Thanks to the transparent glass, it is also suitable for products where it is important to visually check colour and clarity (for example in the case of limited editions, macerates or decorative serums where colouring or shimmering particles are used).

When selecting a closure, it is important to follow the neck parameters given for the product. In the Handymade.sk range you will find screw caps, droppers, dropper inserts and fine applicators adapted to specific bottle types. We recommend choosing a type of closure that matches the consistency of the product and the desired dosing method (drops, thin stream, larger amount). All combinations of packaging and closures created within a single product on the e-shop are tested, but you should always carry out your own test of sealing and functionality with your specific formulation.

To make it easier to navigate the packaging offer, there is an extended filter which you will find at the top of the page after clicking on a specific category (for example bottles, medicine bottles or jars). Using the filter, you can sort the packaging according to several criteria – in particular by neck type, overall size and volume, colour and material used. This allows you to quickly filter out only the packaging that meets your technological requirements and the visual concept of your brand.

Empty bottles should be stored clean, dry and closed, protected from dust and direct sunlight. We recommend storing filled packages in a dry place, at a stable room temperature and away from heat sources or significant temperature fluctuations. For more sensitive formulations, storage in closed cupboards or boxes has proven effective, in order to minimise contact with light and air during frequent use. Adhering to these principles helps maintain the sensory properties, stability and safety of the product throughout the entire declared shelf life.
