• Amyris essential oil is used in cosmetic aromatherapy to scent your recipes. 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 sign of quality. So patience is necessary. HOW TO LIQUEFY A THICK ESSENTIAL OIL - Warm the bottle in your hand. Sometimes warming the bottle won't help, so please tap the bottom of the bottle as this may help release the oil. If this doesn't work: - Place the bottle in a small ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible (to protect the label and prevent the bag from floating), then place the bag in a larger container of hot water (not boiling) to gently warm it for about 5 to 10 minutes. And voilà, it comes out of the dropper! - This procedure will need to be repeated each time before use as the oil will thicken again. - Avoid using a microwave as the oil could overheat and degrade. - 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.
