Mini Dropper Bottles are for dispensing liquid by the drop. They are useful for repackaging so you take only what you need on your trip. No sense taking a large bottle of something and only using a little bit. The bottles are easy to squeeze and won’t leak in your pack.
Perfect for Aquamira, soap, hand sanitizer, contact solution, insect repellent, olive oil, lemon juice, hot sauce, or whatever you need in small quantity. They dispense one uniform, controlled drop per second and work best with lower viscosity liquids. The bottles are either natural (translucent) so you can see there’s something in it and how much is left or black to block UV light. Order with an optional color band to color-code the contents plus make it easy to find and hard to lose. Or mark the bottle with what’s inside using either a permanent marker, tape, or label.
Aquamira Part A and the mix of Part A and Part B are sensitive to UV light and heat so should be stored in black dropper bottles and kept out of prolonged sun. Part B is not sensitive to UV light or heat so can be stored in natural or black bottles.
To fill a bottle, remove the cap, then remove the dropper tip by pushing it sideways. Use a Micro Funnel to make pouring easy. Once full, replace the dropper tip and cap.

Perfect for taking soap on section hikes. No leaks, light, compact.

Initially bought for hiking and loved them. Now use for general travel as well and just bought more of several sizes.
As stated above rarely need even a travel size bottle of most things. Even for 2 week trip < half as much works. The savings in weight and volume are worth it every time.
I use tiny ones for e.g. steroid cream.
Color rings a nice touch. My recommendation is LABEL THEM (you think you know what's in them but 2 months later all white creams/lotions/shampoo looks alike and smell difference may not be so easy). Just buy several, fill, label and leave them in dedicated places (backpack, travel kit, purse, work, etc.).
Buy these. I've wasted a lot of money buying similar but would leak from e.g. "Container store, REI, etc.
Just another product that Litesmith found that you don’t have to. Good place to find many little “light” things that you didn’t know you needed that are good quality. By now I trust their judgement and great customer service!
Note for small volume thicker creams I like the mini jars more

I recently went on a trip and figured out I could probably downsize certain items into a smaller container to save space and weight. These fit the bill nicely. They are very easy to fill and squeeze.
I've purchased these before and actually used them to store cutting oil and chain oil for travel and I haven't had any leaks with those little bottles bouncing around in my tool bags. I think that's a pretty good test of those bottles since they go through quite a bit of abuse.

I carry a ULA circuit and my early spring base weight on the AT is higher due to the inclusion of warmer gear, so I was trying to cut down what I could (current base weight is 13). The dropper bottles are absolutely perfect. I used the 15ml for my aquamira and the 3ml to use as my premix bottle. I used the 3ml for my benzoine tincture in my blister kit. I ordered extra bottles for food, purell and soap. Based on the other options out there for bottles, I have to say this is a great deal. I wouldn't waste your time looking anywhere else since the color options are only available here. They have some other great stuff to bundle with the bottles and you can drop several ounces for twenty bucks.

Bought a few sizes of these bottles for a backpacking trip. I don't like bringing unnecessary amounts of things and these worked perfectly of various things.

This bottle is perfect for camp soap. No leaks so far and easy to dispense just a drop at a time. The colors are a nice touch!

Before I'd have too much squirt out using "travel bottles". With precisely metered drops my doctor brauner's soap lasts for an entire backpacking trip. + They don't leak. + They are super light and carry smaller portions than "travel bottles". I use them for soap, eye drops, hand sanitizer, arnica and more.

I've purchased these bottles for through hiking and loved them. Then I started using them for travel as well. You rarely need even a travel size bottle of most things, generally for a week or two vacation about half as much works for me. So now I use them for just about any travel or hiking opportunity. The savings in weight and volume are worth it every time.

I discovered Litesmith site that offers lots of very practical objects. The droppers are not only beautiful they are also very useful.
