Is it made of medical grade plastic? I know true, pure citrus essential oils (Young Living) will pull toxins from plastic unless it is medical grade.

It doesn't say. I would call the company. I have been using the YL lemon oil and haven't had an issue but I did not know about this. It is really cool though I can tell you that for sure. Would love to know what you find out. If you need me to go look at the box for the number I can do that. Just let me know. Thanks!

No, it is a lubricant, there are no harsh chemicals that should be affected by plastic.

I use it with wild orange oil and others. I know citrus can be hard on plastics. I think because it is diluted with water that might be helpful. I have yet to see a diffuser that is not plastic where the oils go in. Hmmm... The inside container is getting slightly discolored but doesn't seem to affect the operation. I use mine everyday and plan to order another one because I diffuse in my classroom.

The container appears to be a metal can and no different than any other Olive Oil comes in...We are very happy with the flavor of this great Olive Oil. I could be wrong here but I believe BPA is only in Plastic. So the metal can should be free from BPA.

I have ingested Young Living's Thieves essential oil for such things as flu, colds, any congestion, etc. Young Living may be the only Thieves essential oil which could be ingested, so this may also point to "comparisons". The ingredients in Young Living's Thieves essential oil are all 100% pure (lemon, etc.) and these are things we commonly ingest.

The fine mist sprayer in white is made from polypropylene topped with a clear styrene hood. Fine mist sprayers are a great choice when looking to dispense products such as body sprays, toners, hair products, room fresheners, and more. I personally use this 4 oz. Blue Glass Boston Round and White Fine Mist Sprayer for my homemade products made with essential oils. Polypropylene is the one plastic that does hold up well with essential oils. Most caps on commercial essential oils are made with Polypropylene. If you would like more info on polypropylene with essential oils I do have articles and reference materials I would be more than happy to provide you, just send a message. ~ Thank You - Robin Woods owner The Mercantile Co. ~ The Sustainable General Store

Hi Judy, The cap and base are #5 food grade, polypropylene and are BPA free. We do have a lot of essential oil users that use the Glasstic bottle and love it. It is still a good idea to try and keep the bottle in an upright position as much as possible to reduce the amount of time the oil water will be in contact with the plastic. Always best to lean toward safety when essential oils are involved. I hope this was helpful! - Brandon

My understanding with diffusers being plastic and diffusing citrus oils is that it is okay. The plastic is a harder plastic and doesn't deteriorate like it would with other plastics. Even the doTERRA diffusers have a plastic interior.

As far as I can tell the product is plastic and has a citrus smell that cats do not like. I did NOT detect any odor myself. It is not toxic.

It is plastic. I would be curious what grade of plastic it is since when making mascara I use things like activated charcoal and coconut oil which are known for their ability to "pull" things out of the containers they're in. I would hope it is a non-toxic, non leaching plastic...but I doubt it :/

I didn't see anything about citrus oils in the manual, but it was a difficult manual to read. I've used lemon essential oil a couple of times without any issues.

Bottle is plastic but from what I have read a special plastic. All I know is it really works! I have my whole office taking it-wr are a Doctors office. Works for us! My family uses it for many things health wise and it is good stuff.

I've used these bottles for about 6 months now and have had no issues with my oils breaking down the plastic or causing them to clog. I believe the plastic is probably the same grade as the orifice diffusers in the essential oil bottles, which doesn't break down like other plastics do. I have distilled water and oils in several and they're all good!

From the now food site: "A lot of people ask if our essential oils are edible. The answer for most is "Yes, but..." Essential oils are typically labeled For External Use Only as a warning to use them very cautiously, even such pure edible oils as those from lemon or orange peels. Essential oils are very strong and even non-toxic ones may be irritating or uncomfortable if not used carefully and sparingly. If you use a recipe, a greater measure of both success and safety is more assured. The book Aromatherapy for Everyone is co-written by a NOW herbal specialist."

It doesn't have that plastic code. It's pretty thick and sturdy, but if you are thinking about using it for food products, I'm not sure if it's food grade plastic.

Yeah it's totally fine. I generally use lemons, which is the most acidic and its plastic-free-tasting. I bought the glass bottle strictly because I didn't want any plastic taste that you normally get. It's a durable infuser, difficult to break - which makes cleaning easy.

Is a glass bottle is not plastic. I use them with essential oils and they work good.
