Dropper Essential Oil Bottles are containers designed for the storage and use of essential oils. They usually come in small, delicate glass bottles equipped with an eyedropper with precise control of the number of drops. This design is not only convenient for users to accurately measure the amount of essential oil used, but also the sealing performance of the dropper is good, helping to maintain the purity and concentration of essential oil, preventing volatilization and oxidation. In addition, these bottles are often equipped with leak-proof rubber or glass drips to ensure that no drips occur during use, providing a safer and more hygienic experience with essential oils.
