Packaging Tip

Blue and Green Frosted Roll On Bottles

Use blue and green frosted roll on bottles for a striking appearance when packaging perfumes, essential oils, lip gloss, liquid cosmetics, and more! Dark colored glass roll on bottles provide UV protection for aromatherapy blends. Essential oils can be susceptible to light, oxygen, and moisture, which makes these blue and green colored glass containers a top choice to help protect ingredients from degrading. These roll on bottles utilize a PE plastic fitment and ball for a soft rolling motion when applying essential oils and fragrances. The frosted glass roll on bottles come in a convenient .35 oz size with several polypropylene cap options, including black, white, gold, and silver.
