Tottles with Different Applicator Heads

A tottle is a squeezable bottle that ends in an applicator rather than a screw cap, so the formula goes straight from the body onto the skin. The body itself is standard. What changes from one version to the next is the head, and the head is what determines how the product actually performs.

The lip flock head is a soft, angled tip covered in fine fibres. Those fibres hold pigment and release it evenly along the lip line, which is why this head works well for liquid lip colours: an uneven first pass shows immediately with intense shades, and flock is built to avoid that.

The silicone brush uses moulded bristles instead of fibres, giving more directional control for short, precise strokes. That makes it the better fit for brow products, where placement matters more than the amount of product laid down.

The silicone tip is smooth and clear, designed for glosses and balms. Rather than holding product inside a pile of fibres, silicone carries it on the surface, so it wipes clean between uses and leaves no residue behind.

Choosing between them comes down to the formula. Pigmented liquids that need even, buildable coverage call for flock. Gels, balms, and glosses, where cleanability matters more than pigment load, call for silicone. Thin, runny formulas tend to run off flocked fibres before they've done any work, so silicone usually performs better here too.

The applicator seats into the body through a patented valve lock, and how well that seal closes is what actually keeps the product from leaking in a bag or during transit. There's no gap once it's locked, which matters most for the flocked and brush heads, since any gap lets air in and dries the tip out between uses. Every unit is vacuum tested individually rather than by sample, to -0.06 MPa with no leakage over five minutes.

Capacity across the current series runs from 7.8 to 14 ml, in PP, PE, TPO, or Surlyn depending on the version.

Send us your formula's viscosity and the area it's applied to, and we'll put together a sample round with the heads that make sense for it.
