Can I use any essential oil?
Yes — you can use any pure essential oil or blend. We recommend starting with 3–5 drops. Avoid synthetic fragrance oils as they can leave residue and some are not safe when heated. Look for oils that are labelled as therapeutic-grade or 100% pure.
How long does the fragrance last per session?
This varies by oil and warmer temperature, but most oils diffuse actively for 2–4 hours per session. Once the scent fades, simply clean the dish and add a fresh blend.
Is it safe around pets?
Some essential oils are harmful to cats, dogs, and other pets — particularly tea tree, eucalyptus, citrus oils, and peppermint. We recommend researching pet-safe oils before use in rooms where animals spend time. Our ceramic and resin materials are inert and pet-safe when not heated.
Do I need water in the dish?
Not necessarily. Many oil burners work with neat essential oil in the dish; some people prefer to dilute with a small amount of water to extend the session. Electric warmers typically work best with neat oil — check your warmer's instructions.
