What are amber bottles called?
1 Answer

Sometimes amber bottles are referred to as Boston Rounds or Boston Round bottles. You might also hear them called a Winchester bottle. Amber or brown bottles filter out UV light so they’re typically used for photosensitive products like cosmetic and pharmaceuticals.
