amber bottle

Tinted glass vessel

An amber bottle is a container made of brown-tinted glass, used primarily for storing substances sensitive to light.

The dark color filters ultraviolet rays that would degrade medications, essential oils, or chemicals.

Beer often comes in amber bottles to prevent the "skunky" flavor caused by light exposure: The pharmacy dispensed the pills in a small amber bottle.
