Essential Oil Extras

The Caroma is a nifty little stainless steel vent diffuser for your car, a breeze to use and both cute and functional. Perfect to enjoy pure plant aromas in the car (or other small spaces). And perfect to combat the dreaded smellies in the tropics, doggie smells, or in hot times anywhere! 

There's no need to worry about spilling essential oil over your car. These beautiful Tree of Life diffusers are made to use with a highly absorbent pad that fits snugly inside. Simply open the magnetic diffuser lid, add about 10 drops of essential oil to the pad inside, close and clip onto the vent. The car fan blows air through the diffuser holes.  

Included in box: 1 x tree of life Caroma and 6 interchangeable absorbent pads (blue, pink, black, green, white & grey).

What essential oil to choose? We suggest citrus based aromas that are fresh, energizing or uplifting. Ali's favourite is the fresh Honey Myrtle & Lime or perhaps other fresh ones After the Rain or Light Heart. Choose Bush Breathe or Kimberley Blue if there are colds & flu about. You could also choose singles such as Blood orange, Grapefruit, May Chang, Lemon Myrtle, or Lemon. For those wanting something to calm the kids, perhaps Welcome Home, or Peace. For something a little more floral, what about Radiance, Welcome Home or Cable Beach Sunset? And the latter evokes that tropical holiday feel of Broome, for those who miss it terribly. It is our alltime most popular blend and we are honoured to hear it referred to so often as "the smell of Broome"!

Happy driving! 

We sell polysorbate 20, a solubuliser for mists, room & linen sprays and dissolving essential oils in water. This is an innocuous product which makes sprays really easy to make for yourself.

For Room Sprays:

Choose your essential oil or essential oil blend and find a spray bottle (eg. from Bunnings, we also sell one here) mix well with equal quantities of solubuliser, then add water. For example, for a 5% room spray in 100ml spray container, add 5mls (100 drops or 1 teaspoon) essential oil plus 5mls solubuliser, mix really well, then top up with filtered water.

For Reed Diffusers:

No separations and gives a gorgeous milky colour no matter the essential oils used. This is how you make 100ml (and a little more) of diffuser liquid using this combination:

1. Add in a minimum total of 30 drops of your choice of essential oils to your container.
2. Add in the equivalent amount of drops of Polysorbate-20 to the container.
   *Note: A 1:1 ratio is recommended for Polysorbate-20 to fragrance oil/essential oil.
3. Add in 100ml of  water.
   *Note:
   a) Room temperature or hot water is fine. Cold water can also be used but the Polysorbate-20 + Essential Oils mixture won’t blend as thoroughly with it. 

    b) Distilled, tap or filtered water is fine. If you’re concerned about bacteria growth, you can change the liquid once every few days.

4. Your diffuser liquid is now ready to be used!

*Note: Once the aroma of the essential oil has faded, you can just add more but there will be a separation between the new essential oil and the diffuser liquid.

Cleaner's Joy is D'Limonene, sometimes known as Spirits of Orange, an entirely natural biodegradable product made from citrus rinds. It's a clear concentrated fluid. Think of it as orange essential oil with the orange colour and any bits taken out.  

Hidden Valley is keen to limit the use of toxic chemicals in the home, and recommends the use of simple old fashioned cleaners such as vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, beeswax and D'limonene.

Used neat it is a fabulous solvent for anything sticky such as glues and gums, and is a direct safer substitute for other organic solvents. We like to add a few drops to the water used to clean tile floors and various surfaces. It is non-reactive on metal surfaces. And it smells wonderful! Just like oranges.

These are the ultimate for pure essential oil dispersion in the atmosphere. The ultrasonic method of vaporising pure essential oils or blends ensures that they retain their therapeutic properties and qualities. The cool fine mist produced by the diffuser disperses tiny molecules of pure essential oils into the atmosphere. They do not use heat.

These have independent LED light and mist operation. You can set any colour, light, or scroll through the rainbow. They offer humidifier characteristics too, so are ideal for dry areas such as airconditioned spaces. They have an automatic shut off at low water level and include a small jug for water filling.
