White Plastic Bottle, 18/410, Black Fine Mist Sprayer, Smoky Overcap, 100 ml

A white plastic bottle with a black fine mist sprayer and smoky overcap is ready-to-use packaging for spray cosmetics. The set with a nominal volume of 100 ml is filled with facial toners, hydrolates, refreshing body or hair sprays and other thin preparations that are applied to the skin or hair by spraying. The white wall of the bottle hides the contents from view and limits the access of light, which you will appreciate with preparations that do not benefit from light.

The PET bottle is lightweight and does not break when dropped. The black PP sprayer is complemented by a smoky overcap, which covers the nozzle and protects it from dust and from being pressed accidentally in a bag. The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What it is suitable for

• Facial toners and hydrolates – water-based and thin preparations that, once sprayed, spread evenly over the skin without touching it with your hands.
• Hair sprays – volumising and refreshing sprays, leave-in conditioners in a thin consistency or protective sprays with low viscosity.
• Body and refreshing sprays – liquid body mists, after-sun sprays or travel packs of preparations that you use at home in a larger volume.
• Working solutions in production – alcohol-based solutions for removing bubbles from the surface of soap or for disinfecting tools, provided you check that the components of the solution do not damage the packaging material.

Sprayer and dispensing

One press releases approximately 0.12 ml of the product in the form of a mist, so the amount is easily controlled by the number of presses. Such a small dose suits toners and facial sprays, where excessively wet skin is not desirable. The mechanism is designed for thin water-based and alcohol-based liquids. Thick emulsions, gels or plain vegetable oils are harder to draw up and spray, the nozzle may become blocked and a jet may form instead of a mist. For a formulation with higher viscosity, we recommend testing the behaviour of the sprayer on one piece before you fill the whole batch.

Nominal volume and filling

The nominal volume of 100 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The volume of the bottle up to the neck is larger, and the difference serves as a reserve for the sprayer tube, for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes and for the air that gets inside during spraying. Therefore, fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle may leak after the sprayer is screwed on, because the tube and the mechanism displace part of the space.

Good to know

Before the first filling, rinse the bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them if needed with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol and let them dry completely. Residual water would dilute the cosmetic preparation and could put a strain on its preservation.

PET withstands common water-based and alcohol-based preparations. For formulations with a high proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend checking compatibility with the bottle material and the sprayer seal on one piece. Watch for a change in shape, clouding of the wall or stiffening of the mechanism. Do not expose the packaging to aggressive chemicals or heat, and let a hot preparation cool down before filling.

After thorough cleaning, the bottle can be used repeatedly; whether the sprayer can be reused depends on the condition of its tube and nozzle. Replace a worn sprayer with a new one with the same neck type. When sorting waste, empty the packaging and separate the sprayer from the bottle; both parts belong with plastics.
