White Glass Bottle, Black Spray, 10 ml

White glass medicine bottle, black fine mist sprayer, 10 ml

A small glass bottle with a sprayer for dispensing thin liquids as a fine mist. The set consists of a white glass medicine bottle with a nominal volume of 10 ml and a black plastic fine mist sprayer that fits directly onto the neck of the bottle. It is suitable for perfume samples, travel-size face toner or hydrosol, alcohol-based hand sprays, aromatic fabric or room sprays, and test batches where you want to give a customer a few millilitres to try.

White glass conceals the contents and limits the amount of light reaching them. You will appreciate this with fragrance compositions and preparations whose scent or colour changes over time in light. The liquid level cannot be seen through the bottle, so it is better suited to cases where the customer dispenses the contents gradually and does not keep track of the quantity. The glass withstands both alcohol-based and water-based fills, and once empty it can be washed and refilled.

Based on the technical documentation, the set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. It is not approved for contact with food; the packaging is intended for cosmetics.

How the sprayer works

The sprayer has a mechanical pump with a dip tube that reaches the bottom of the bottle. Pressing the head draws up a small dose of the contents, which leaves the nozzle as a fine mist. One press releases approximately 0.14 ml, which means roughly 70 presses from a 10 ml fill.

The sprayer is intended for thin liquids: water-based solutions, hydrosols, toners, and alcohol-based and fragrance compositions. Thick serums, more viscous oils and emulsions are not atomised by the nozzle. They either drip or the pump jams. Oil fills also gradually clog the nozzle, so for pure oils we recommend a dropper or a treatment pump instead.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 10 ml is the quantity the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brim-full capacity is the physical volume of the glass up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between the two provides a reserve for the dip tube and the threaded part of the sprayer, and for slight expansion of the contents with changes in temperature. Fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle will push part of the contents out through the thread once the sprayer is screwed on, and it will not seal.

Suitable for

• Perfume samples – an alcohol-based composition in a 10 ml spray is a common format for trying a fragrance before buying a larger size.
• Toners and hydrosols for travel – a travel-size facial toner or refreshing spray that can go in hand luggage.
• Alcohol-based hand sprays – a thin alcohol fill is atomised evenly and the glass withstands it over the long term.
• Aromatic and pillow sprays – fragrance blends in alcohol or in water with a solubiliser, where white glass looks clean.
• Test and gift packs – a small quantity of a finished product for trying out a formulation or as an addition to an order.

Good to know

Before first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the sprayer with clean water or alcohol and spray it empty several times to remove any residual liquid from the dip tube and pump. Moisture in the bottle is an unnecessary risk with water-based fills, so fill only into dry packaging.

The polypropylene sprayer withstands water, alcohol and fragrance compositions at usual concentrations. For fills with a high proportion of essential oils or other strong solvents, we recommend checking how the pump and seal behave in your specific formulation. Water-based and hydrosol fills without a preservative have a short shelf life regardless of the packaging; glass does not extend shelf life.

For repeated use, the glass is washed and disinfected in the same way as before first filling. It only makes sense to reuse the sprayer with the same type of fill. Residues of perfume cannot be completely removed from the plastic dip tube and will carry over into the new fragrance. Closures with the same neck type as stated in the parameters, and ready-made bottle and closure combinations, are available in the Handymade range. If you combine your own, check the seal, the dispensing and how the packaging behaves with your specific formulation.

At the end of its life, the bottle goes into glass recycling and the sprayer into plastic, so separate the two parts before disposal.
