When storing essential
oils, whether a single oil or a blend, it is so
important to take proper care and attention! If
oils are stored improperly and are exposed to light or
heat, they will quickly lose some of their potency and effectiveness.
We have many sizes of
essential oil dropper bottles available, including 5ml,
10ml, 15ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes. Our
Essential Oil dropper bottles are available in amber or
blue colored
glass, and come with either black or white dropper caps
which include tamper evident lids with the orifice
reducer / dropper. When the lids are sealed
tightly, the oils are not exposed to air, which means
they won't evaporate as quickly. The coloured
glass also prevents excess light from shining onto and
breaking down the oils.
Some tips on Essential
Oil storage:
- Always store
essential oils in tightly closed, dark colored glass bottles.
- Always store
essential oils in a cool dark place, away from
bright light exposure
- Be most careful
with the storage of Citrus oils, such as Orange, or
Lemon as they are most volatile - they evaporate
rapidly - and can spoil very quickly in sunlight.
- Always store
essential oils away from children and pets as they
are very potent and need to be treated with respect.
The benefits of having
empty essential oil bottles in your aromatherapy cabinet
are endless. Not only can these bottles be used
for storing essential oils, but are also suitable for
herbal extracts and tinctures, aromatherapy recipe
blends, carrier oils or any other liquid that may be
used in small quantities.
Many people will take
advantage of the savings involved in buying larger
bottles of essential oils and then split the oils into
smaller quantities and share with friends or family.
Another idea gaining
popularity is the giving of personal essential oil
blends for gifts around the holidays or at Birthday
celebrations. People love to get something so
personal and thoughtful as a perfume or diffuser blend
that was created specifically with them in mind.
Whatever your
aromatherapy level, it is always handy to have a few
empty essential oil bottles in your collection for
whatever need that arises.
