What Plastic to Use and What Not To Use with Your Essential Oils

2/24/2018

One of the first things you need to know about essential oils is there are many plastics that can NOT be used, even if diluted, when applying essential oils.

This is especially important when using Citrus Oils and some of the hot oils like Cinnamon, Thyme and Oregano. 

Glass and metal containers are always your best bet, but there are some plastics that can hold up the potency of doTERRA's pure essential oils. #1 and #2 plastics are okay, but the main one being:
HDPE plastic (High Density Polyethylene).
For example, the plastic reducers used in essential oils bottles, and the spray nozzles on the glass containers  we buy from our oil distributors are made of this hard thick plastic. They are acceptable when making your homemade recipes.

Do not ever use:

Plastic Drinking Straws
Plastic Kitchenware and Flatware
Styrofoam Cups and their equivalent
Disposable Water Bottles
Nalgene Bottles
Thin Plastic Containers
Solo Cups and their equivalent

Drinking water with my Lemon every day is a must for me. I not only drink more water, like we all should, but I get that daily detox dose from the doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil, too.

Contact me if you need a resource for finding a glass or stainless steel water bottle.

Hello,
I am trying to find good metal bottles to use with spray nozzles for use in essential oil cleaners. Do you have suggestions on websites that have these available? Especially to ship to Canada.
Thanks, Anna

Yes, OilLife.com. The shipping can get expensive, so try and order all your oil needs at once. Maybe ask some of others if they need anything. They do have free shipping on $50 orders that ends today if that works for you. https://www.aromatools.com/ is another one. Good luck.

What Our Customers Are Saying

"I love doTERRA oils. They have helped my family tremendously. Their quality is superior. I like the fact that they are always developing and researching new products. And if something isn't the best they can do, they just won't do it. Keep it up doTERRA."
