How do reed diffusers work?

Reed diffusers are liquid air fresheners in a narrow-necked bottle with long "sticks" inserted in to the liquid. These sticks, or reeds, absorb scented liquid from the container and release fragrance into the surrounding air.

 

How often should I refill the diffuser/flip the reed sticks?

When your reed diffuser is fading or no longer sending its fragrance into the air, it's time to flip the diffuser reeds over, or, add more essential oils.

If you have topped up your diffuser with a refill and the reeds are completely saturated, or if they are no longer giving off scent, they may have become clogged with dust. Best thing to do is to replace them with new reeds to get the scent rolling again.

Can I leave the reed diffuser out all day?

Yes. The luxury of reed diffusers, is that they permeate your space 24/7.

 

 How many sticks should I put in the reed diffuser?

The more sticks that are saturated into the oil, the stronger the smell. I recommend putting 3 reed sticks into the diffuser first, then adding as desired.

 

What carrier oil is used in the reed diffuser?

Sweet Almond Oil.

 

What scent is the reed diffuser?

The reed diffuser omits no smell. The oil provided, acts as a carrier oil so you can choose your favourite essential oil/essential oil blends to diffuse.

 

How are the oils extracted?

They are extracted by a steam distillation or cold pressed process. Steam distillation releases the oil by applying gentle pressure with a heated compress. Cold pressed extractions puncture the cells to contain the oils. These techniques enable only the purest and highest quality of oil to be extracted.

 

Can I ingest or apply these essential oils to the skin?

Olio essential oils are not to be ingested or applied to the skin due to the high concentration of the oil. 

 

Are your essential oils 100% pure?

Yes! Our oils are made with no filters or unatural components of any kind.

 

Where are your oils sourced from?
