White Glass Bottle, Matte Silver White Dropper, 10 ml

The 10 ml glass bottle with dropper is designed for products that are dispensed drop by drop: face serums, oil blends for the face and nails, diluted essential oils, tinctures for cosmetic use or test batches of a new recipe. White glass conceals the contents and limits light exposure, so it also suits raw materials and active ingredients whose stability is reduced by light. The set consists of a white medicine bottle and a white and silver matte dropper, with a length adapted to the height of this bottle.

A small volume makes sense wherever only a few drops are used per day and a larger pack would be used up slowly. With concentrated serums and oils that have a shorter shelf life, the contents can be used up while they are still in good condition.

How the set works

The dropper has an aluminium shell in a matte silver shade, a white PP inner closure, a silicone bulb and a glass tube. When you squeeze the bulb, the contents are drawn into the tube and are then dispensed as individual drops. The glass of the tube and of the bottle body is non-reactive towards common cosmetic raw materials. During storage the contents come into contact almost exclusively with glass, meeting plastic only on the inner side of the closure.

Two volume values are distinguished. The nominal volume is the amount the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The total volume to the brim is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper, which takes up part of the space once screwed in, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill only up to the nominal volume.

What it is suitable for

• Face and eye serums – a small amount is applied directly to the fingers or skin, and the hand does not touch the rest of the contents.
• Oil blends and elixirs – the dropper also copes with thicker vegetable oils, and the dose is measured out drop by drop.
• Diluted essential oils and aromatherapy blends – white glass dampens light, which is harmful to fragrances and sensitive ingredients.
• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – glass resists alcohol and does not affect the scent of the contents.
• Samples and test batches – 10 ml is enough to verify a recipe or to make a sample for a customer.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the dropper, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Rinse the dropper tube by drawing in and squeezing out alcohol several times, otherwise water will remain in it.

Glass does not tolerate sudden changes of temperature. Let a hot oil phase or a freshly brewed infusion cool down before filling, and do not put the bottle straight from a cold environment into hot water.

The silicone bulb has a different resistance from glass. With undiluted essential oils, solvents or very acidic ingredients, we recommend checking how the dropper behaves with your formulation after several weeks. Store the bottle upright so that the contents are not in constant contact with the closure and the bulb.

The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and you will find the declaration of conformity with the product. After washing, the packaging can be used repeatedly; just check that the bulb has not hardened and the tube is not cracked. You will find closures with the same neck type, as well as other ready-made combinations of bottle and closure, in the Handymade range; if you make your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal and dispensing with your specific recipe. The glass bottle belongs in glass recycling. The dropper is made of several materials, so before discarding it separate the aluminium shell from the plastic and the glass tube.
