What is an amber glass bottle?
Amber glass bottles are brown or amber in color and are favored for products that need to be protected from UV light when stored. Amber glass is created by adding iron, sulfur and carbon to molten glass. These additions create the amber hue and the protective qualities, making them particularly useful for beer, some medications and essential oils.
