This pack of 70 amber 100 ml bottles fitted with childproof caps is designed for households where larger volumes of concentrated essential oils, tinctures, or other skin-irritating preparations are stored in the presence of children or pets. The press-and-turn mechanism makes it harder for a small child to open the bottle by accident.
What the pack of 70 contains
The pack contains 70 amber UV-blocking glass bottles with a nominal fill capacity of 100 ml each, plus 70 childproof caps. Each bottle is approximately 130 mm tall and 52 mm in diameter. The neck is a GL18 standard thread. The cap consists of two parts: an inner permanent closure and a freely-rotating outer sleeve that engages with the inner part only when pressed. The estimated gross weight is ~8.1 kg, supplied in a shipping carton with breakage protection.
Amber glass and UV protection
Amber glass filters the UV spectrum and the shorter wavelengths of visible light — these photocatalysts trigger oxidation of volatile compounds. Stored in amber glass, concentrated essential oils and tinctures retain their original scent profile and active ingredient content significantly longer. Glass is chemically inert, does not react with oils, and contains no migratable plasticisers.
About the childproof cap
The press-and-turn mechanism works on the CR (child-resistant) principle: to open, the cap must be firmly pressed down and turned at the same time. The outer sleeve rotates freely, so a small child generally cannot open the bottle in a single motion. With the 100 ml size, the larger diameter provides a slightly easier grip — helpful for adults — but the CR mechanism is equally effective. The cap is made of BPA-free plastic and is chemically inert.
Areas of use
- Safe storage of larger volumes of concentrated essential oils in households with children
- Bottling tinctures, herbal extracts, and botanical drops in larger sizes
- Skin-irritating DIY cosmetics (acid toners, retinol serums) in larger volumes
- Secure closure of aromatherapy blends and massage oil concentrates
- Home-made household fragrance concentrates and diffuser refills
Cleaning and refilling
Clean the bottle by soaking in warm water with a neutral detergent. For stubborn scent residues, rinse with 70% isopropyl alcohol. The childproof cap is in two parts but generally does not need to be disassembled; wiping the outside and rinsing the inside is sufficient. Avoid the dishwasher, as high heat and alkaline detergents can damage the plastic. After full drying, the bottle can be refilled immediately.
