Understanding the Various Types of Essential Oil Bottles
Before we discuss how to get the oils out, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of the different types of essential oil bottles available in the market. Some of the most commonly used ones include:
1. Euro Dropper Bottle
These bottles come with a specialized stopper that allows consistent and controlled drops to be dispensed. The stopper is made of a special plastic called orifice reducer, and it’s ideal for oils with a relatively normal viscosity.
2. Glass Pipette Dropper Bottle
For thicker or more expensive oils, they often come in glass dropper bottles. These bottles typically have a glass pipette with a rubber bulb that allows you to control the amount of oil you want to dispense in each drop carefully.
Techniques for Getting Essential Oils Out of the Bottle
Now that you are familiar with the different types of bottles let’s explore the various methods to extract the oil without hassle:
1. Tapping Technique
- Hold the essential oil bottle between your thumb and index finger.
- Turn the bottle upside-down, allowing the oil to flow towards the opening.
- With your free hand, gently tap on the bottom of the bottle to release the exact number of drops you need.
- Make sure to tap lightly and patiently, especially for thicker oils that take longer to flow.
2. Using a Glass Dropper
- If you’re dealing with a bottle that doesn’t come with an in-built dropper, invest in a set of separate glass droppers.
- Squeeze the rubber bulb to release any air and insert the glass pipette into the essential oil bottle.
- Release the bulb slowly to allow the oil to be sucked into the pipette.
- Extract the desired number of drops by gently squeezing the rubber bulb again.
- Make sure to clean the dropper with rubbing alcohol between uses to avoid cross-contamination of oils.
3. Plastic Pipettes or Syringes
- For thicker or resinous oils, consider using disposable plastic pipettes or syringes for efficient extraction.
- Similarly, as with glass droppers, insert the pipette or syringe into the bottle and draw the desired amount of oil.
- Dispose of the plastic pipette or syringe after use, especially when dealing with different oils.
