Is this made from hospital-grade plastic -- so the oils don't cause the plastic to breakdown and release toxins into the air?

I believe it is. I have one from Young Living and this one. I have used both the same and see no difference. I like this one because you can turn the light off. You cannot the Young Living.

Yes it is. It is made out of the same plastic that is used in food safe containers. I'm not sure about hospital-grade but it is made of very resilient plastic to guard against break down.

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 :/

Plastic. Mine did work but not very well using an oil. I mixed thieves oil with fractionated coconut oil and it didn't work as well as i hoped.

Geez, guys. Just tell him it's a glass bottle. ALL of Carlson's liquid fish oils are in glass bottles for freshness and so any plastic taste or chems don't leach into the oil. Nordic Naturals puts theirs in dark glass as well. Hope that helps!

Not that I see. I have been using them consistently for air fresheners and never had any kind of issue (essential oils and water, etc.)

Tom, I'm afraid I could only guess-supposing you are concerned with any oil base products in your growing-understood. I know these things do dissipate between the oil and water mixtures sometimes used as adhesive...but, again, have no idea how those units were contained. I do know I'd prefer buying them locally in future as they are much cheaper over-the-counter...hope this helps a wee bit... R

This would not be one I would take internally - not at this price! It's probably got other carrier oils that shouldn't be ingested, and may even be toxic.

Plastic. Don't let that be your decision maker though, I have a glass bottle of cold pressed organic almond oil that I can only use on hands and feet because it clogs pores everywhere else. This oil absorbs cleanly and I will by it again when I run out!

I try not to use herbs in plastic bottles. That's what I was impressed with this black seed oil. The fact it came in glass & the amber colored bottles. If you decide to use plastic make sure it BP free. Not sure if this answered your question, I hope it helped you.

i don't know - however - given its used for babies - it must be made from a 100 % safe & non toxic material for a regular use - and from the picture it does appear that the material used maybe safe plastic / polythene that is quite durable & it is obvious that it has been made after after the quality assurances from the makers have been APPROVED BY LICENSING AUTHOURITIES in the country of origin - moreover i do not wish to put my baby in a trauma from shampoo going in her eyes - so it is imperative for me to buy this great innovative product a s a p - isaac kazi

I have used Orange and lemon oil in this and haven't seen any problems, but I would be careful using Cinnamon or cloves in anything plastic.

I haven't had any problems-----unless maybe you are dyeing clothes or changing your oil in it. This is plastic. You do need to clean it periodically like you would with a plastic garbage can

No problem with the plastic. Are you using pure oil? A lot of the cheap oils are cut with chemicals.

I have no idea about Non-toxic? I presume so since this is aimed at very young children! Companies can be ruthless so I would recommend you double check. My kids were past the chewing stage when I purchased this. The insert are plastic sleeves but very durable. Mine are still in very good shape.

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.

This is made using phthalate free, non-toxic materials - a PVC shaft and an ABS plastic base. Thank you for shopping with GW Corp!

Yes. It comes with a small plastic bottle which is to be filled with your oil, and placed at the bottom of the unit. It is a bear to reach beneath the unit (make sure it's empty of water...) and it's even worse to fill up this plastic bottle with your choice of oil, as the unit's bottle is small as is all essential oil bottles. We've been using the oil, after slowly dropping in the essential oil, and it does work fine. But what a headache!
