Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dropper must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable product, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For effective disinfection you can use the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. Only after all parts are completely dry is the packaging ready for refilling.

First remove the residues of the original product, then rinse the bottle and the dropper mechanically with warm water and a suitable cleaning agent. After thorough rinsing with clean water, it is advisable to disinfect all parts – we recommend rinsing and spraying with a disinfecting alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alkohol or Etanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. Finally, let the packaging dry naturally in a clean and dust-free place to prevent contamination of the new contents.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it responsibly in accordance with local sorting rules. The glass bottle can usually be placed, after emptying and basic rinsing, into the container intended for glass, while the dropper consisting of several materials (plastic, rubber, possibly metal) should, where possible, be separated by material type before disposal. Specific sorting recommendations are based on the material composition given in the parameter table at the product on the Handymade.sk website, where you will find information about which collection each part of the packaging belongs to.

The bottle with dropper is ideal for all formulations where precise, controlled dosing drop by drop is important. It is most often used for facial and hair serums, pure and blended oils, concentrated active substances, aromatherapeutic blends and products that are applied in small quantities. Thanks to the opaque white glass, it is also suitable for light-sensitive formulations that benefit from protection from light and stable storage.

When choosing packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter in the categories on Handymade.sk. After clicking on the relevant packaging category, the option to filter according to several parameters is displayed at the top of the page. You can easily choose packaging according to neck type, size, colour and material, which significantly simplifies the search for a suitable bottle, jar or medicine bottle for your specific product and the planned dosing method.
