Essential oil is an aromatic substance, generally an aromatic molecule extracted from plants. It is an important product in perfumes, seasonings, cosmetics and other industries, as well as the main raw material for aromatherapy. Essential oils are usually distilled using steam. Other methods include pressing, solvent extraction, resin extraction, and cold pressing. It is used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, household cleaning products and other products such as humidifiers, and can also be used to adjust the odor of food or drinks.
Essential oils can be extracted from various parts of plants, including roots, trunks, bark, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and other parts. Essential oils play an important role in plant growth. In addition to regulating temperature and preventing diseases, they can also protect plants from bacteria and pathogens. In addition, the essential oils in the petals can attract insects that are beneficial to them, and can also avoid insects that are harmful to them. Therefore, people use this characteristic of essential oils to expel pests in their lives and to protect their bodies. But specific smells can also attract specific pests.

Pure essential oils contain volatile organic compounds, which means they are flammable and sensitive to heat, light, oxygen, and moisture. These liquids are sold as pure essential oils, or “diluted” when mixed with a carrier oil or used as part of a lotion or other product formula. Plastic packaging is not recommended for storing pure essential oils in their pure (or undiluted) form, as some plastics may deteriorate due to the chemical composition of the essential oil and may degrade the essential oil itself.
Why should you store essential oils in glass bottles?
Because essential oils are active substances, they are easily absorbed by the body. It is easy to change color and deteriorate when exposed to sunlight, so use colored bottles. Dark blue glass has short wavelength absorption. Essential oils will have a long shelf life.
Sunlight, light, high heat, and humidity will destroy the components of essential oils, so essential oils must be stored in dark glass bottles.
At present, pure essential oils are mostly bottled in dark brown, amber, dark blue, and dark green glass bottles. Among them, dark blue and dark green glass bottles are more expensive because they can store essential oils for 6 months longer than dark brown and amber ones.
How to choose the right cap for your essential oil bottle?
The type of closure is also a key element of packaging. In addition to the threaded cap, essential oils should be dispensed in small doses. Dispensing small amounts of precise essential oil is easier with a dropper cap and orifice reducer.
Dropper caps feature a squeezable, flexible bulb that controls the amount of liquid dispensed. These closures help prevent spills and allow essential oils to be dispensed in droplets rather than by pouring. Dropper caps are also available in child-resistant versions, which are preferred as essential oils can be dangerous if swallowed.
