White Glass Bottle, Glossy Silver White Pump, 15 ml

The glass pharmaceutical bottle with pump is used for filling facial serums, oil blends and concentrated preparations that are dispensed in small amounts. White glass is opaque and protects the contents from light, which is useful for preparations with sensitive active ingredients. The 15 ml volume is enough for samples, a travel size, or a serum that is used up within a few weeks. The set consists of the bottle and a glossy white and silver plastic pump with a dip tube, which dispenses the contents when the pump head is pressed.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial serums and toning preparations – liquid and slightly viscous water-based formulations that are applied drop by drop.
• Oil serums and vegetable oil blends – the pump always dispenses the same amount, which makes application to the face and décolleté easier.
• Eye area preparations and concentrates – the small dose per press corresponds to the amount normally applied with such products.
• Samples and test batches – the volume allows you to check the stability and behaviour of a formulation before producing a larger quantity.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Neither the bottle nor the pump is approved for contact with food, so the set should not be used for oils, syrups or infusions intended for consumption.

How the pump works

When pressed, the pump head draws the contents up through the dip tube and pushes them out through the nozzle. One dose is approximately 0.14 ml. When using it for the first time, prime the pump by pressing the pump head several times until the tube fills and the pump starts to dispense evenly.

The pump dip tube is supplied longer than the height of the bottle. Before fitting, it is shortened with an angled cut so that it reaches just above the bottom. The angled cut prevents the end of the tube from sticking to the bottom, which would stop it drawing up the contents.

Nominal volume and brimful volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the product parameters. The difference between them forms a reserve for the dip tube and the lower part of the pump, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill up to the nominal volume, never to the brim. An overfilled bottle overflows when the pump is screwed on and the contents get into the thread.

Good to know

The pump combines polypropylene, other plastics and aluminium. For preparations with a higher proportion of essential oils or alcohol, we recommend leaving a sample in the set for several weeks and checking whether the seal and the pump head remain functional and whether the scent or colour of the contents changes.

Glass withstands repeated filling and can be disinfected again. The pump is harder to rinse, so when you change the formulation we recommend fitting a new one, especially when switching from an oil-based to a water-based filling. The bottle is recycled as glass; before disposal, the pump is unscrewed and sorted separately.

You will find other closures with the same neck finish (stated in the parameters) and other ready-made bottle and closure combinations in the Handymade range. If you combine parts yourself, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.
