- Liquid by the drop
- Repackage larger bottles
- Take only what you need
- Color-coded contents
- Ideal for Aquamira, soap, insect repellent, even hot sauce
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 Funnel to make pouring easy. Once full, replace the dropper tip and cap.

Mini Dropper Bottles
These dropper bottles are the best! Easy to fill (and refill), easy to use and hold enough for a four day hiking trip.
-
Dropper bottle
The smallest is the perfect size for the small amount of soap needed for a one or two night trip. Being able to drip it out was a huge win compared with pouring from a screw top bottle.

mini dropper bottles
I've purchased and used several for detergent, alcohol and lotion. Nice selection and fast shipping.
-
Great find!
Love the selection of small containers that Litesmith has!
-
Great little bottles
These bottles worked perfect to put contact solution and some Dr. Bronner’s soap in. Take up much less space, and save unnecessary weight.
-
Great idea
These are great little bottles for your kit. Easy to use and fill. So far, no leaks. *Note - the dropper orifice is tiny so you may have to cut/drill to the diameter you want for the liquid you install.
-
Great way to carry just what you need
I have a few dropper bottles for soap and hot sauce. They're easy to refill with a funnel, easy distinguish with the colored bands and you can feel good about lowering your pack weight ;)
-
Handy little bottle
Got the 0.5 oz bottle with the streamer tips for my contact solution. They hold over 4 days worth of solution (probably 4.5). I use the Walmart contact cases that come in the 6 pack for reference. Much more suited for shorter trips than my 2oz Nalgene dropper bottle, and much better flow rate with the stream tips
-
Love these!
I love theses tiny dropper bottles. The smallest of them allows me to take things I would normally kiss on longer backpacking trips. Things like night oil for my aging face. (I know, I shouldn’t need this kind of thing. But, people who tell me that are usually 15 to 20 years younger than I am, so how could they possibly understand!!) I only wish they had the expanded tips for the smallest of the bottles.
-
Very Convenient
Got 3 6ml droppers for Dr. Bronner's, hand sanitizer, and contact solution. Each works perfectly. I made a slightly larger hole with a needle for the contact solution so it flows more like the big bottles they typically come in. No leaks, dropper cap pops off easily for filling but stays on tight when in use. Colored collars are essential for me so I don't use hand sanitizer for my contact solution....
-
perfect for backpacking!
Love these. I love them so much that I turned around and bought my best friend some
-
great light weight products
Excellent product and shipping is so fast!
-
Great for eye drops
Saved a good chunk of grams by repackaging my rhotos into a 3ml dropper. Should be plenty for a while on trail. A full bottle of eye drops comes in at 4 grams
-
great for hiking
I bought these to carry oil & hot sauce on a backpacking trip. No drips or spills. I like the colored bands, in case I carry 2 liquids that are similar color.

Litesmith rocks
This company has nailed every little itty bitty dag nabbin piece of gear I've ever bought from them. I don't bother shopping anywhere else for these kinds of things because Litesmith has already done the meticulous and seemingly never ending research for you, and they don't offer items that are anything less than stellar, know matter what you're buying from them. I use mostly the smallest size of these dropper bottles for biodegradable soap, face oil for my chronically dry forehead, and for sriracha. Color coded of course! I've also bought extra for my partner and a friend who are trying to head towards UL, both of whom seem [almost] equally as fascinated with these tiny, amazing, totally bombproof and leak proof dropper bottles. Who knew a tiny dropper bottle could be so cool. Heck yeah, Litesmith, and thank you!!!
-
Didn't leak oil!
This is tiny and doesn't leak the jojoba oil I packed for facial cleansing and moisturizing. The oil usually finds a way out of the bottle regardless of what I put it in, but this performed well. Was perfect to stash in my ditty bag. I like that litesmith let's you specify what color you want... So if I needed to pack multiple liquids, I would be able to identify them easily. Litesmith was great to purchase from and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
-
Works!!
Used the 0.35 oz. for eye drops. Filled up easy. Light and saves space. Clear and easy to see how much is in it.
-
just right
I had to cut a bigger opening but this little bottle is the perfect thing to tote my tooth powder while on trail. A step up from the little jar because I can better control thr amount & I no longer lose powder on each opening.
-
Can't say anything bad about it
conform to description. Have tried it yet on the field
-
soap container
Perfect for taking soap on section hikes. No leaks, light, compact.
-
Excellent. Don't leak. Good sizes. Clear easy to see contents. Easy to fill
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
-
Great for items that just need a smaller container
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.

Perfect for Aquamira, Benzoin Tincture and Dr. Bronners
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.

Great for cutting weight for travel and backpacking
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.
-
Perfect for soap
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!
-
Ever have your backpack supply of liquids go too fast?
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.
-
something for everything
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.
-
Excellent dropper to lubricate my electric razor.
I discovered Litesmith site that offers lots of very practical objects. The droppers are not only beautiful they are also very useful.
-
Exactly the Right Size
I got one of these droppers for hand sanitizer, and it works like a charm. The orange color band helps me distinguish it from my other bottles. Arrived quickly and was well-packaged, too.
-
So Useful
Love these, perfect for my eye drops (6 ml) and contact lens solution (10 ml). I suffer from dry eyes and rarely bring contact lenses on camping trips because of that. With a lightweight, portable option to exercise proper contact lens care and keep my eyes from drying out, I can happily hike with my contacts now. The material is a nice soft, flexible plastic, so I can squeeze the tubes without worrying about them cracking. I did try filling another 10 ml dropper bottle with hand sanitizer, but that was a little difficult. I'll probably try the LDPE cylinder bottles for that instead.
-
Perfect dispenser for liquid sweetener
I purchased several of these bottles for liquid sweetener (sucralose). I wanted something small and portable that would dispense less than the dropper that comes with the original sweetener bottle. These work perfectly. They're tiny, easy to fill, and dispense a smaller drop than the original packaging. The service from Litesmith was prompt, too. A good experience all around.
-
Simply works
I bought a couple small dropper bottles for backpacking. I store CampSuds & my castile soap face wash in them. They have been great–no leaking, which is really important. They're easy to refill and clean since the tip pops off. I really like how this website allows such versatility in choosing different shaped bottles with different types of lids, and colored o-rings for labeling, if necessary. Shipping was fast too.

Shave wight
I'm adding one half full of eye drops to my camping and travel stuff to save a little more weight.
-
As small as you want it
These shipped immediately and I had them in hand in days. The smallest size is tiny. I'm going to repackage aqua mira. Only take what you need.
