Can these be used for essential oils mixed in a carrier oil (e.g. fractionated coconut oil), or must the base be more liquid (i.e., water) - thanks!

I'm not sure if this helps but I use lavender oil and water and it works great.

Hi there! Yes, I use them for essential oil blends and have had no problem at all. Like for "germ fighter" mixed with water and I've used it like a hand sanitizer spray and carried it around. I do put it in a zip lock Baggie, JUST IN CASE, but I've had no issues. I would recommend them. Hope that helps!

I be honest. I really don't know. I mix this oil with my hair and body butters that I make for fragrance. Essential oils are usually mixed with a carrier oil like jojoba, almond, coconut and then used on the body. I hope this helped.

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

I have used them in jojoba, sunflower and fractionated coconut oil and they are wonderful! But, these are mild almost scentless oils. I'm not sure about olive or castor oil since they are such a strong unusual smell on their own...especially castor oil. I'm not sure what you'd come up with! All you can do is try and see what happens. These are really great fragrances and the smell lasts FOREVER...I just love them! Good luck!

Essential oils in general need a carrier oil. Essential oils are concentrated and potent. Since this is a concentrated essential oil, it needs a carrier oil.

I believe you can use absolutely any essential oil you choose, it's a really large well of water and I usually put about 10-12 drops of oil in, I tend to stick to lavender as the others leave a sticky residue over time but yes, lemon or citrus blends would work, sounds like you have some lovely combinations, all of these fragrances are ok to use in my opinion! Thanks!

This can be used to massage when it used with a carrier oil. Please check with aromatherapy sites for concentration of number of drops to carrier oil or check into aromatherapy book.

Works fine with coconut oil, never tried with baby oil... just use once then wash and don't forget to use the laundry bag provided or you could ruin them.

I used them for a therapeutic oil. It works, but does not mist. A small moderately strong stream.

I'm pretty sure you cannot. May want to ask the manufacturer. I do like to use Louana pure coconut oil.

Essential oils are very concentrated and usually advised for use in bath, body oil, body mist, inhalantNOT advised for internal use. Very concentrated and usually diluted in a carrier oil before application to body. Can be used in bath water, body oil, body mists, etc.

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 use the pure oil in an atomizer bottle when I take it by mouth to help with chest congestion and coughing. When I applying the oil topically I use a carrier oil such as almond oil. I have not mixed this with water for the purposes I use it for.

I've always used them with something that has fat in it. However, they are made to use for making candy. A few of the oils have a small amount of alcohol. Being a chemist, I presume that these oils would not be soluble in water by themselves, but the addition of the alcohol makes them miscible in water.

Yes, you can. If you want to add a few drops of carrier oil such as mineral oil, almond oil or another carrier oil.
