Whenever we explain to a customer why we carry certain items, we tend to get a response similar to these:

• “That’s a great idea!”
• “Wow, that would make it easy!”
• “I never would have thought of that!”

Because of these reactions, we thought we would write a few small posts and give some pointers on how some of our “random” items can be used with essential oils to make your life easier. Of course, these tools could have even more possibilities than the ones we list, so please let us know how you would use them!

So, today, let’s talk about funnels.

Have you ever wasted oil when you try to transfer it from your regular oil bottle to a sample vial? We offer a funnel that has a small opening (about 1/4″) at the bottom—small enough to fit in a 1/4 dram or 5/8 dram sample vial. So next time you are filling sample vials, use a funnel and be worry free.

Do you hate cleaning up the big mess you make when you try to transfer your liquified lip balm creation to the lip balm dispensers? Try a funnel for a mess-free transfer.

Are you tired of cleaning off the sides of your carrier oil (like olive oil, jojoba oil, or fractionated coconut oil) when you are filling a roll-on bottle? A funnel gives you a wider opening to pour into so you don’t have to be as careful when pouring.

A funnel can make many essential oil DIY projects like lotion, candlewick aromatherapy diffuser, hair detangler spray, garden spray, and lavender bubble bath a breeze to make.

What are some ways you would use this mini funnel?
