The 100 ml amber apothecary bottle is one of the classic sizes for larger cosmetic formats — for body oils, bath oils, hydrosols, and massage bases. The vintage apothecary form gives a timeless appearance — this pack of 48 is designed for small-business makers who wish to work with their own cap system.
What this pack of 48 contains
48 amber glass bottles with a nominal 100 ml fill capacity, supplied without caps. Each bottle is approximately 130 mm tall, 52 mm in diameter, and weighs around 109 g empty. The pack's total weight is approximately 5.23 kg. The neck has a standard finish, making it compatible with the majority of aluminium caps, pipette droppers, childproof closures, spray heads, and pump heads available on the market — sized for 100 ml bottles.
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 of volatile compounds. The 100 ml format particularly suits body oils, bath oils, and hydrosols that are consumed within a few weeks to months — during which the UV protection preserves the active content. The glass is chemically inert.
Vintage apothecary form
The bottle's silhouette evokes the aesthetics of old pharmacy and apothecary glass: an understated, timeless look for self-labelled, natural-inspired products. The standard neck allows flexible closure choice — you decide what cap, pipette, spray head, or pump head you offer the finished product with. The larger 100 ml size particularly suits pump or spray head closure systems.

Cleaning and reuse
Before filling, wash each bottle with warm water and mild soap, then rinse with alcohol to neutralise residual aromatic substances, and allow to dry completely. Avoid the dishwasher, as high temperatures can damage labelling. Once empty, the amber glass can be reused or placed in municipal glass recycling.
