The dropper is designed for precise dosing of common cosmetic and oil-based formulations. For thicker serums or viscous oils, we recommend trying a trial filling and verifying the smoothness of drawing up and dispensing the drops. In the case of very thick textures, another type of applicator or pump may be more suitable, which is why it is always important to test the specific formulation in combination with the packaging.

The dropper can be used repeatedly if strict hygiene principles are observed and always in combination with a compatible bottle. Before each new filling, the packaging needs to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent microbial contamination and transfer of fragrances or colourants between different formulations. For disinfection, we recommend using alcohol-based products, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, which you can find in our range as IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol and Ethanol 96% denatured vegetable. After disinfection, it is important to let all parts dry completely before reuse.

If you decide not to reuse the dropper, we recommend that after emptying and basic cleaning you sort it appropriately according to the material composition given in the product parameters for the specific packaging. The individual parts of the dropper (plastic closure, pipette, possibly rubber elements) may belong in different collection containers. Follow the information about the material in the parameter table and the local waste sorting rules in your municipality. In this way you will support effective recycling and reduce the amount of mixed waste.

The compatibility of the dropper with a specific bottle is determined mainly by the neck parameters and the closure design. For products on Handymade, such packaging + dropper combinations are designed that are tested and functional. We recommend selecting the dropper directly from the recommended related products for the given bottle. For individual combinations, it is advisable to carry out a trial filling and verify the tightness of the closure, the dosing accuracy and the behaviour of the dropper in contact with your specific formulation.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the extended filter, which is located in the upper part of the page after clicking on the selected packaging category. In the extended filter you can clearly set parameters such as the type and size of the neck, the overall size of the packaging, the colour and the material. In this way you quickly narrow down the range to packaging that is suitable for your specific product and then you also choose compatible closures or dispensers, including droppers.
