Is the insert, where you put the oils, made from glass or plastic?

It's all plastic and read the reviews as mine quit after a few months. Seller doesn't pay or return calls. Buyer beware. There are others cheaper that have better reviews. I bought a Mony and it's still working fine. Use distilled water and clean often. I love mine when it works for colds and just relieving stress.

I'm not sure about the kind of plastic, however I have found that these inserts do not keep produce fresher any longer than using a rubbermaid container without them. Don't waste your money.

Truly feel bamboozled: This turns out to be a glass bottle with a PLASTIC Dropper so all the oil I purchased has been "stewing" in plastic. What a waste!

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

The bottle is plastic. It is also a great avocado oil. I use it in cosmetics.

It is in glass. It is almost as good as the fresh oil I made while in the Philippines. The price is right but the shipping cost almost doubles the total price paid. Would buy it as a regular item but for the shipping costs.

The insert is stoneware and the lid is glass. The only things plastic are the handles and temperature knob.

All of the oils are in a brown glass container and are either Steam distilled or cold pressed. If this doesn't help you visit their website at www.fabulousfrannie.com

There is an insert that fits into the bottom of each shelf. I don't think they are plastic inserts though. It makes the shelf a little more sturdy and helps the shelves fit into the organizer better/easier.

It is a plastic insert. You can see the black plastic on top that is part of the insert in the picture. The lid screws on. My only complaint is the gasket on one of these I have did not last long, and I see no way to get a new gasket for the lid.

No, I have not tried plastic. I would think if you use this...and oil gets on the bottle...it would become slippery and not easy to use.

The dark glass bottle and clear glass dropper keeps the natural oil as pure as it can - plastics can impact the organic nature. : )

I'm not sure about the exact type of plastic used in this diffuser. But here is some information from the DoTerra website: Plastics designed specifically for use with essential oils (caps, diffusers, orifices, etc.) are made of a very high quality plastic that have stronger bonds and longer chain lengths that are not broken up by essential oils called HDPE. HDPE plastics will not be affected by essential oils.

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!

No no no. The essential oils are powerful and will melt the plastic. Oils do not dilute in water and when the droplets of oil make contact with the plastic, it will melt and pit the plastic.

Have had mine for 6 weeks, and so far no problems with the plastic oil bottle. It's just a nuisance refilling it when empty.

I'm not sure the material, either stainless or aluminum. There are no stains after using it for a year for olive oil. There is no plastic, just the metal and rubber stopper.
