amber glass

Tinted pharmacy containers

Amber glass is glass tinted brown or golden-yellow, typically used for bottles that protect contents from light degradation.

Medicine bottles, beer bottles, and essential oil containers commonly use amber glass because the coloring filters out ultraviolet rays: Store the tincture in an amber glass bottle away from direct sunlight.
