White Glass Bottle, Black Tamper Evident Safety Cap & Dropper 15 ml

White glass medicine bottle, black safety cap, 15 ml

A set for dispensing drop by drop that protects the contents from light: white glass medicine bottle, 15 ml, a plastic dropper insert for the neck and a black safety cap. White glass does not let light through and hides the contents, so it is suitable for blends that are harmed by light, especially essential oils, oil serums and aromatherapy blends.

All three components of the set are declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. The set as a whole is intended for cosmetic and aromatherapy products.

What it is suitable for

• Essential oils and their blends – the dropper insert dispenses single drops and the glass does not absorb fragrance, so, after washing, the medicine bottle can also be used for a different blend.
• Oil serums and facial oils – the 15 ml volume corresponds to a common pack size of face oil, where only a few drops are dispensed per use.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – the glass withstands alcohol-based contents and a thin liquid drips smoothly through the dropper insert.
• Dilution blends and samples – the small volume is suitable for trial batches, blends for dilution in a carrier oil or samples for customers.

How the set works

After filling, the dropper insert is pressed into the neck of the medicine bottle all the way down. It narrows the outlet, so when the bottle is turned over the contents come out drop by drop instead of in a continuous stream. The cap with an 18/410 neck finish is screwed on over the dropper insert and closes the whole set.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume of 15 ml is the volume the medicine bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper insert and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Therefore, fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If overfilled, pressing in the dropper insert pushes the excess out and the bottle stays greasy on the outside.

Good to know

Before the first filling, we recommend washing and disinfecting the medicine bottle and the dropper insert and letting them dry completely. Residual water in the neck shortens the shelf life of oil-based products.

Do not fill the glass with hot contents and do not expose it to sudden temperature changes. The dropper insert and the cap are made of plastic. For undiluted essential oils and blends with a high proportion of solvents, check how the plastic parts withstand longer contact with the given formulation.

The dropper insert can be prised out of the neck and the medicine bottle refilled. With repeated use, check that the dropper insert sits firmly and the cap seals. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.

After use, the glass bottle belongs in glass recycling, the cap and the dropper insert in plastics. Separate the parts before disposal.
