Tips & Warnings

• Certain essential oils, generally citrus oils, present a clouded product when mixed with DPG. While not aesthetically pleasing, the clouding will not effect the scent or its throw.

• Oils that contain the aromachemical vanilla will become brown the longer they are exposed to air. This will not effect the scent or its throw.
