White Glass Bottle, Silver Black Dropper, 10 ml

A white glass medicine bottle with a volume of 10 ml and a black and silver dropper is intended for cosmetic preparations that are dispensed by the drop. Opaque white glass protects the contents from light, so it is suitable for facial serums, oil serums and essential oil blends in a carrier oil, where protecting sensitive ingredients matters. With the dropper you take only as much as you are applying at that moment, and the rest stays closed. The whole set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics.

How the set works

The bottle has an 18/410 neck finish, and the length of the dropper is matched to this particular bottle, so it reaches the contents even at a lower level. The dropper consists of an aluminium cap in a black and silver finish, a glass tube, a silicone bulb and a plastic seal. The glass tube does not take on the scent of the contents and does not discolour from oils with a stronger colour. Squeezing the bulb draws up a small amount, and releasing it dispenses the contents drop by drop straight onto the skin or into the palm.

Two volumes are given for the bottle. The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is intended for with normal filling. The brimful capacity is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the dropper tube, which pushes the level upwards once screwed in, and for expansion of the contents in warmth. For this reason, fill the bottle up to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

What it is suitable for

• Facial and eye serums – small doses without fingers touching the whole volume, with the contents protected from light.
• Oil serums and facial blends – oils prone to oxidation need a dark or opaque container, and white glass fulfils this role.
• Essential oil blends in a carrier oil – a small volume for blends that are mixed in smaller quantities and used up quickly.
• Oils for cuticles, beards or hair ends – dispensing onto a small area.
• Samples and test batches – when fine-tuning a formulation a small amount is enough, and the opaque container protects the contents just as the future retail packaging does.

The set is not designed for thicker products. The dropper will not draw up creams, thicker gels or preparations containing particles, or the tube may become blocked.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the dropper, disinfect them with alcohol and let them dry completely. Residual water in the tube would introduce moisture into an anhydrous oil-based product, and with it the risk of microbial growth.

Let the preparation cool to room temperature before filling, as hot contents do not belong in the bottle. With concentrated essential oils and alcohol solutions, we recommend checking beforehand that the silicone bulb does not soften during prolonged contact with the contents.

The set can be used repeatedly. After it is emptied, the bottle is washed and disinfected in the same way as before the first filling, and the dropper is rinsed with alcohol and left to dry with the bulb facing upwards. If the bulb loses its elasticity or stops sealing, it is enough to replace the dropper alone. You will find closures with the same neck type, as well as ready-made combinations of this bottle with other closures, in the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and the dispensing with your specific formulation. For recycling, the bottle belongs in glass, while the dropper is made of several materials and is separated from the bottle before disposal.
