Very Nice Amber Spray Bottles For Your Homemade Cleaning Products

One of the neatest things I have seen over the past few years (or maybe a little longer) is the desire of many families and crafters to start making their own skin care, cleaning, and gardening care products. This is something I grew up with and learned from one of my grandmothers who loved plants and all they could do. I learned a long time ago how easy it is to make a salve out of comfrey, calming tea from sassafras, and more.

One thing that is very important is making sure that these home made remedies and products are stored in proper containers and labeled carefully! I can't emphasize either of them enough. If these products are not stored in the proper container too much ultra violet light can get in and can actually changed the product making it useless or even worse dangerous. Labels are just as important! You need to know exactly what is in each bottle clearly to protect yourself and you family!


That's where Amber Glass Spray Bottles with Chalkboard Labels from Firefly Crafts come in! These are wonderful bottles that can store a number of things. They are 16 ounce bottles with a spray attachment that you can fill with a number of things, from cleaning formulas, air fresheners, hair and skin care products, natural pet sprays, and more. The number of things you can put in the bottles is vast, and the good thing is that they are refillable and ready to be used over and over again saving you a lot of money and helping keep a lot of plastic out of the landfills!


I really like the chalkboard labels they come with. You can write on them with a special white chalkboard pen that is readily available in lots of stores, and if you need to change the label it is super easy, making them useful for a long time!

The sprayer with the bottles is adjustable so you can have a nice stream of liquid coming out or a nice spray of liquid. The plastic hose attached inside is long enough to reach well to the bottom of the bottle making it possible to get all the liquid sprayed out as needed.


These are great bottles sold in a set of two at a really good price! I know I plan on using mine for a long time!

Why Do People Use Amber Colored Glass?



Have you ever wondered why some things come in amber colored glass and other things don't? All kinds of products are stored in bottles of varied sizes and shapes. But why are some in amber and some not? What difference does that really make.

All kinds of products are put in amber, syrups, essential oils, flavorings, skin care products, beer, and wine to name a few. There must be a specific reason why they do and it is not just because it looks better.

Amber is is the preferred choice of producers of essential oils and food flavorings and pharmaceutical companies for several reasons.

1. It protects the product inside from photo damage. Sunlight contains UV rays that can actually change the components of different products. Things can actually spoil if exposed to too much light even if sealed in a bottle.

2. Amber gives better protection against UV rays and therefore protects the contents in the bottle for a longer period of time. Although other colored glass does help protect the contents some, they still let in more light and different spectrum's of light. Also, other colors are more expensive to produce than amber.

3. Why glass instead of plastic? For one reason, glass is much easier to recycle than plastic and it is much less expensive. It keeps the cost of the product down. But even more important, the chemicals from plastic can actually leach into the contents of the product and make it unhealthy for you to use.


These are all very good reasons for using amber when producing or storing specific products, even the ones you may make and mix up at home. Some of those might be homemade cleaning or skincare products, homegrown herbs and more. Emmi's Essentials has a fantastic Amber Glass Spray Bottle to help out when you do make your own products or want to divide a larger sized product into smaller components.


The bottle comes with one of the best sprayers I have tried. It has an ergonomic grip that helps your hand from slipping around on it while you are spraying. The trigger is textured, making it more comfortable to squeeze and prevents your fingers from slipping. With an adjustable nozzle, you can control the amount and pressure of the spray. One thing I really like is the strainer on the end of the tube that prevents it from clogging.

If you want to make your own skincare products or homemade cleaning products, knowing about the use of amber glass is important. Emmi's Essentials can help you with that!
