Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this oil in a Nebulizing DiffuserĀ®?
Yes. It is 100% pure essential oil with no carrier oil, water or fragrance added, which is exactly what a Nebulizing DiffuserĀ® needs. About 20 to 25 drops in the glass reservoir is enough in most cases, and 15 to 30 drops gives roughly 1 to 2 hours of diffusion on the low setting.
How long will a bottle last?
A 10ml bottle holds roughly 200 drops, which is about 8 to 10 fills of a Nebulizing DiffuserĀ® reservoir. If you diffuse every day, the 30ml and 50ml sizes mean fewer reorders.
How should I store it?
Keep the cap tightly closed and store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. This helps the oil keep its aroma for longer.
Can I use it on my skin?
Essential oils are highly concentrated. Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin, do a small patch test first, and keep oils away from eyes and out of reach of children and pets. Some citrus oils, such as bergamot and cold-pressed lemon, can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
What are the shipping and return terms?
US shipping is $22.99 and free on essential oil orders over $65. Essential oils cannot be returned.
