it's natural, and it can show up in 500ml refills and other products too.
where you might see it
- reed diffusers: in the 100ml and 200ml vessels
- traditional refills: 100ml and 500ml, in the bottle or once poured into reed, car, wood or volcanic rock diffusers
- room sprays: often near the bottom of the bottle
- other products: fragrance oils and anything else from our range
why it happens
- nature changes each year: essential oils come from real crops, so colour and clarity shift from harvest to harvest
- bondi is a good example: the colour of its mandarin essential oil changes with each year's crop, so one batch can look different to the last
- cooler weather: cold can thicken some natural notes and leave a soft haze
- settling and mixing: natural materials can settle over time, or look murky for a day or two after topping up
is it still good to use?
yes. it's a natural trait of the materials, not a fault, so use it as normal.
keep it looking its best
- warm it up: a cloudy bottle often clears after 24 to 48 hours at room temperature
- swirl or shake: with the cap on, tip it gently, or give a room spray a light shake
- keep water out: never add water, and use dry reeds, wood and stones
- store it well: cap on, upright, away from sun and heaters
