The Mighty glass bottle and more

There is alot of good information out there about how best to store essential oils and essential oil-infused DIY products. Click here for doTerra's information on it.

I like to keep things simple and intuitive so here are my quick guides on the matter.
  • The glass bottle is the best.  When in doubt, go glass.  Water w/drops of lemon? Glass. DIY cleaning product? Glass. 
  • Stainless steel - works as well for your drink with oil drop. It's also the better option for roller balls-- ones with the steel ball.
  • The lesser option but still a viable and good choice for diluted DIY products: Plastic #1/PET or Plastic #2/HDPE (better). I use these for my all-purpose spray. In its diluted form, simply keep your cleanser in a cool, dry place. When I make DIY cleansers that I use less frequently, I'll choose glass. I don't worry about it with my all-purpose cleaner-- my everyday go-to! 

​Glass is impervious to essential oils and is the best way to keep DIY products fresh. It is also easy to clean with soap and water. With plastics, there's a possibility that the oils will leech onto/dissolve the plastic. The higher quality plastic -HDPE- has stronger bonds and longer chain lengths that are not broken up by essential oils. PET is also resistant but be wary of the dilution ratio.  To test if your plastic container is resistant, add a drop of the oil you want to use (different oils have different impact) to the outside of the container and make sure there is no change to the plastic after a few minutes.

​To be safe, again, glass is best.

    I am the Essential Soul Mama. I am a mama, a soulful-spiritual teacher, an intentional storyteller, and a lover of stories of all kinds, in all forms.  I write about emotions, parenting, natural health options, mind-body-soul connections, and anything that elevates our lives.
    I bring joy & health to my life and my family with the help of doTerra essential oils (EOs)- just one of the ways to bring elevating vibratory frequencies into our bodies. And I am all about elevating! 

    ​I call this journey: "Adventures in Life Yoga". Because Life IS Yoga (think: mindful living; a sense of wonder and awareness). And my hope is to share and inspire and serve so that more of us can feel that liberating sense of freedom which comes from walking in our Truth and in our Self-Authority.
