Divine Essence Organic Patchouli Essential Oil

IMPORTANT: THIS ESSENTIAL OIL IS NATURALLY THICK (High viscosity)
You shake the bottle, it flows very slowly or nothing comes out of the dropper and you think: Something is wrong with my oil!
Don't worry, this is normal (can vary from batch to batch) and is a guarantee of quality. So patience is needed.

HOW TO LIQUEFY A THICK ESSENTIAL OIL
- Warm the bottle in your hand. Sometimes heating the bottle will not help, so please tap the bottom of the bottle as this can help release the oil.

If that doesn't work:
- Place the bottle in a small ziploc bag and empty the air as much as possible (to protect the label and to prevent the bag from floating), then put the bag in a larger container of hot water (not boiling) to warm it gently for about 5 to 10 minutes. And that's it, it comes out of the dropper!
- This procedure will have to be repeated each time before use because the oil will become thick again.
- Avoid using a microwave oven as it may overheat and deteriorate the oil.
- Tips and tricks: You can remove the dropper and use a pipette to extract drops or a toothpick, a needle to extract the desired amount from the bottle.

Patchouli is an aromatic herb native to Indonesia and Malaysia that is commonly used in perfumery. The essential oil is produced by distilling the leaves, which must be aged in barrels for months to lose their bitterness. Considered an expensive, high-end raw material, patchouli is used in men’s and women’s fragrances as a bottom note. Its powerful, woody and earthy fragrance can be found in woody, oriental perfumes.
