The 10 ml amber apothecary bottle echoes the form of classic vintage chemist glass — providing the same reliable UV protection with modern processing. This pack of 140 is designed for small-business makers and crafters who work with their own cap system, or who wish to choose the cap type flexibly to match each filling.
What this pack of 140 contains
140 amber glass bottles with a nominal 10 ml fill capacity, supplied without caps. Each bottle is approximately 57 mm tall, 24 mm in diameter, and weighs around 32 g empty. The total pack weight is approximately 4.48 kg. The neck has a standard finish, making it compatible with widely available aluminium caps, pipette droppers, and childproof closures on the market.
Amber glass and UV protection
Amber-coloured glass effectively filters the shorter wavelengths of visible light and the ultraviolet range — precisely those photocatalysts that trigger the oxidation and breakdown of volatile compounds. Stored in amber glass, essential oils, perfume concentrates, and botanical tinctures retain their original scent profile and active content significantly longer. Glass is chemically inert: it does not react with the contents, and contains no plasticisers or migratable additives.
Vintage apothecary form
The bottle's silhouette evokes the aesthetics of old pharmacy and apothecary glass: an understated, timeless look that displays well in self-labelled product ranges. The neck has a standard closure surface, so any standard GL18 cap or dropper pipette can be fitted — you decide what closure system to offer your finished product with.
Areas of use
- Precise drop-by-drop dispensing and bottling of your own essential oil blends
- Filling perfume compositions and scent bases into sample bottles
- Storing natural facial serums, skin oils, and resinous extracts
- Bottling botanical tinctures, hydrosols, and flower essences
- As a base for DIY projects and gift-ready scented roller recipes
Cleaning and reuse
Before filling, wash each bottle with warm water and mild soap, then rinse with alcohol to neutralise any residual aromatic substances, and allow to dry completely. Avoid the dishwasher, as high temperatures and harsh chemicals can damage labelling or cause minor scratching of the rim. Once empty, the amber glass can be reused or placed in municipal glass recycling.
