could I use these for essential oils? I want to make a few ahead of time but don't want them to dissolve before I can take them.

Hi....I have used these caspules for essential oils and have had no problem...however I think it would depend on what oils you use (how strong the ability would be to dissolve) and the duration of time....I only made mine for a few days ahead of time. Good Luck

Yes! I started out using it for placenta encapsulation and then I started using E.O.'s and I put E.O. in capsule and it lasted for more than a week without dissolving. Great product.

I used these primarily in a candle warmer. I just put some on my hands (full strength) & it seems to work ok. I would probably dilute them to last longer & to cut down on the oil feeling on the hands.

I used most o them right away, making my own vanilla extract. I wrapped the rest very well in plastic and froze them. I haven't used any since but I am sure they will be fine I left to thaw at room temp and kept tightly sealed.

In my honest opinion, I do not think so. Being as though these are high concentrated essential oils, I do not think it would be a good idea. These are more for doing bath salt blends or for making your own soaps and lotions. Also for using in an oil burner for aromatherapy. I would not recommend "vaping," these. Highly concentrated. Just working with them in the above listed applications can give you a head ache without proper ventilation or taking breaks. I hope this helps.

Yes, they will hold oils, but not other liquids. I have personally used this brand of veg-caps, as well as others, to fill with oils that I found unpalatable. I usually fill a 30-60 day supply at a time, and haven't had any problems with them softening or dissolving while being stored for that time period.

Anytime, but they dissolve by moisture so when your not using them keep them in the container and make sure that it is sealed shut don't forget to keep them away from moisture!

I don't see why not I have used lavender essential oil and am currently using oil of thieves in mine, just be sure to fill with water to the line and then how ever many drops of oil you wish without being overpowering

yes, but they are not ingestible. they are more scented oil instead of essential oil so they will be aromatic but not necessarily homeopathic

I dint know what you are using these for, I use them for flavoring cakes, frosting, and candies. And I drop them directly from the dropper without dilution. Taste after every few drops for satisfactory flavor, But I do nit dilute the oil before adding it to anything. Hope this helps.

I put mine directly to soak in vodka to make my own vanilla, so I can't help you on this one. I would hesitate to freeze them, though. My gut instinct just says it might not be the best thing. Looks like the other comments are split 50/50.

Unless the oil itself had undergone microencapsulation (to give it a powder-like consistency), I can't imagine they would be, as most oils are encapsulated in with something which is a mixture of cellulose, gum arabic, and gelatin, making them different from 'regular' gelatin capsules. That said, I'd contact the manufacturer, as they may say differently. Otherwise, I'd not recommend these be used for that purpose.

Yes. And yes. These are great for soaking! I use them to make my own body wash and scrub + cleaning products. I don't believe that you are supposed to ingest them orally in their concentrated form, but otherwise they are totally useful.

I use them for perfume, room sprays, mixed w/ h2o diffuser, flea/tick control for my pets, create potpouri & re-scent older potpouri, sachets for closets/drawers; some people use these as tinctures to drink or as flavoring in cooking/baking. If you have never used these oils, I suggest going to the local library for more info. Hope this helps...CeDe

Don't know about essential oil blends, but I use mine in cooking. I have olive oil in one, and canola oil in another with no issues.

Yes, these essential oils work great in a diffuser. I add approximately 8 to 10 drops to water in my diffuser and it creates a wonderful aroma! :o)

Yes you can, I am using lemon, wild orange and breath (a blend of oils). I have not seen a problem yet. And yes I have seen those that you cannot use citrus oils, but so far so good.

As long as you have solvent out they work fine for oil. If they melt, you need to rework your medicine as you have water or solvent left.
