White Glass Bottle, Black Spray, 15 ml

White glass medicine bottle, black fine mist sprayer, 15 ml

This small glass medicine bottle with a sprayer is intended for products applied as a fine mist: facial toners and hydrosols, refreshing sprays, hair tonics or alcohol-based eau de parfum. The 15 ml volume fits in a handbag or travel kit and suits samples that you want to hand out to customers or try before making a larger batch.

White glass is opaque, so you cannot see the contents or their colour through it. This helps with formulations containing light-sensitive ingredients, for example hydrosols, extracts or fragrances, and it also gives the whole product range the same appearance regardless of the shade of the filling. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products; you will find the declaration of conformity with the product.

How the set works

You fit the sprayer onto the neck of the medicine bottle by screwing it on. The dip tube draws liquid from the bottle and, when the head is pressed, the contents come out as a fine mist. One dose is approximately 0.14 ml, which with a full bottle corresponds to about a hundred presses. The bottle therefore lasts even with daily use, not just as a sample.

Low-viscosity liquids work best for spraying, that is water-based, alcohol-based and water-glycerine solutions. Thicker preparations, gels or emulsions with a higher proportion of oils do not pass through the nozzle evenly and the mechanism may become blocked.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume of the glass up to the neck and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between them forms a reserve for the sprayer dip tube, for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes, and for screwing on the sprayer without displacing the liquid.

Suitable for products such as

• Facial toners and hydrosols – water-based solutions without thickeners, applied to the face as a mist.
• Refreshing and thermal water sprays – light water-based preparations with humectants, where even spraying matters.
• Eau de parfum and alcohol-based fragrances – the small volume suits trial and travel packs.
• Hair tonics and scalp sprays – liquid formulations applied directly to the scalp.
• Hand sprays containing alcohol – with alcohol-based formulations, we recommend checking how the plastic of the sprayer behaves in your specific formulation.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash the medicine bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Rinse the dip tube so that no water remains in it.
• Dip tube length – the sprayer dip tube is longer than the bottle. Shorten it before fitting so that it reaches the bottom and does not kink in the neck.
• Glass and heat – do not pour hot phases into the medicine bottle; let the preparation cool first. Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes well.
• Plastic and filling – the head and the dip tube are made of plastic and come into contact with the contents. With a high proportion of essential oils, alcohol or solvents, we recommend testing on one piece to see whether the mechanism changes its behaviour over time.
• Reuse – after thorough washing and disinfection, the glass can be filled again. After the previous contents, spray clean water through the sprayer several times and let it dry. If dispensing gets worse, replace it.
• Closures – the sprayer is part of the set. You will find other closures with the same neck type and ready-made packaging and closure combinations in the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – glass belongs with glass, the polypropylene sprayer with plastics. Take the set apart before disposal.
