  　　The composition of a cosmetic sprayer involves many different parts. The design and name of the part may vary from one manufacturer. Nevertheless, all of them use the same principles.

  　　As a general guide, we can refer to this list to determine the different components that build this smart device. Let's try to see what these components are so that we can better understand how to clean them in the future.

  　　1. Dust cap

  　　The dust cap is the top of the bottle. This is a safety helmet that protects the actuator and nozzles from dust and other harmful substances. It also prevents accidental pressing of the actuator.

  　　The dust cover adopts different materials and surface treatments. Some people may think that it is an auxiliary function that is easy to lose. Nevertheless, its purpose is obviously also very important.

  　　We recommend that you do not reuse spray bottles without dust caps. If possible, look for replacement covers.

  　　2. Actuator or trigger

  　　The actuator is covered by a dust cap, you can press this part to dispense the contents of the bottle. It protrudes from the container like ahead.

  　　You may be familiar with lotion dispensers with desktop-shaped actuators, which have a thin neck and a flat top. However, the actuator in the Cosmetic sprayer is hollow to fix other components in it. In a Cosmetic sprayer, the actual spray hole can also be found on the surface of the actuator.

  　　3. Insert or nozzle

  　　The insert is actually the mouth of the Cosmetic sprayer. However, beyond that, it is actually the part that defines the spray bottle. This tiny part turns the liquid content into a mist. Its interior consists of multiple channels through which the liquid passes before leaving the container.

  　　The insert is installed inside the actuator and only appears as a small hole on its surface.

  　　4. Cover

  　　The cap wraps the spray bottle like a collar directly below the actuator. The cap secures all components to the actual bottle. The dust cap is also placed on top of the sealing cover and snaps firmly into place.

  　　The seal can be smooth, matte or satin. Sometimes it is even designed to connect seamlessly to the bottle.

  　　5. Gasket

  　　Although the gasket is one of the least obvious parts, it is actually crucial to the assembly of the spray bottle. The gasket is a thin flat material that can be used as a seal to prevent leakage of contents. It is located at the bottom of the area where the cap meets the actual bottle.

  　　The material used as the gasket may vary, depending on the substance to be leak-proof. It is tested to ensure its compatibility and reliability.

  　　6. Pump mechanism

  　　The heart of every cosmetic sprayer is a pump mechanism. Unlike other parts, the pump mechanism consists of several smaller parts, including the piston, housing cover, valve stem, spring, seal and female housing.

  　　The working principle of the pump has been explained in the previous part of this article. It is the reason that the liquid content is transferred from the container to the actuator. The alternate action of pushing the actuator down and making it rebound is the power of the pump. The release actuator allows the pump to draw liquid from the bottle and fill its chamber. Therefore, pushing the actuator down is the reason for driving the liquid from the chamber to the insert and expelling it from the bottle.

  　　Have you noticed that when the spray bottle is freshly bought from the store, it will not expel its contents during the first two presses? That's because of how the pump mechanism works. When the spray bottle is still not used, the pump chamber is still empty. It requires the bouncing motion of the actuator to make it fill its chamber first. Naturally, only after the chamber is full, the contents will come out the second or third time.

  　　7. Dip tube

  　　In order for the liquid contents to enter the pump from the bottom of the bottle, they must pass through a thin channel called a dip tube.

  　　The dip tube is connected to the bottom of the pump and extends to the bottom of the container. The bottom is usually cut into a "V" shape or diagonal to prevent the tube from clogging.

  　　8.Bottle/body

  　　The actual bottle or bottle body is the largest part of the entire spray bottle. It can basically hold the liquid content and can also keep the container upright.

  　　Although most distribution parts are made of plastic (except springs), the valve body can be made of a variety of materials, such as plastic, metal, and glass.

  　　In terms of the advantages of reuse, we recommend that you choose a glass spray bottle. Glass has unique adsorption properties, making it more effective than other materials to hold liquids. Learn more about the benefits of glass bottles here.
