Is the sprayer plastic? and how does it withstand the essential oils?

Yes the sprayer is plastic and it has held up fine. I thought about the exact question and tried to figure out what it could be made of so it would still work. I have not seen anything except plastic!!

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

It's made out of aluminum. The sprayer part inside is plastic. It's well made and pretty strong.

The nozzle is plastic. It functioned pretty well with adults serving themselves. But once younger kids started using it, it got tweaked and dripped nonstop. It's permanently damaged because the kids couldn't figure out you have to push the lever side to side (rather than up and down, which would be more typical).

The water tank is Polypropylene. Which is generally considered a very good chemical resistant material. It is certainly not cheap plastic. The instruction manual says the following for material: Cap; Porcelain; Base; ABS; Sink; PP; O-Ring; Silicone; Lens; PC. I don't know what essential oils you will be using but I suspect it will be fine with most normal essential oils. Some experts will say that citrus essential oils such as lemon and orange should not be used in a plastic container. But as I said, polypropylene is a tough, chemical resistant material and should be able to easily stand up to dilute citrus oils.

Nope... just the sprayer. It is a GREAT unit... I use it to wash my car mostly. It's plastic, and I will probably break it eventually, but if I am careful... it might last. I would buy it again. Heck... I probably WILL buy one again when it drops too hard on the ground...

Yes. Rather sturdy but still plastic. Be sure to use spray oil for easier clean up.

The part where the water comes out -- the "face" of the sprayer -- is not metal, it is hard plastic.

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.

The container is hard plastic. I would have recommended it until last night -it cracked and will no longer hold the pressure to spray. I would now recommend you find another product.

The sprayer is stainless on the outside, plastic on the inside. Works great.

The sprayer head is made of a plastic. I thought this was going to be a problem for me but I have to say that I don't even notice it. It is very well made. The button locks in place. Love this faucet. I have had it for almost a year and I get many compliments. Good Luck!

The sprayer on the side is mostly plastic, but the faucet and handles are metal and the fittings inside are ceramic and steel.

Yes, it is plastic. The plastic is quite sturdy though. I use it mostly for pasta, spices and dressing bottles and it holds up well.

Plastic. It is a very nice diffuser. Works like a champ. Not goofy looking like so many are.

The pump is plastic. It seems to be of somewhat better quality than plastic pumps on sprayers costing much less. I am pleased with the purchase and it is much more dependable than the many "throw away" sprayers that I have previously passed.

Sadly, the spray head is plastic. It seems that ALL of these on the market are plastic. It has a good quality plating job, however; and it is shiny and without pits or other issues after at least two years of daily use. And the rest of the faucet is really good - weighty brass castings and tubing. It has worked for us without any problems.Best~!George Beker
