There is a Reed Oil offered by us that requires no chemicals or propellants to release the fragrance, so it can be a safe option for every home, as well as health facilities, education buildings, and shared workspaces. It provides temporary relief from pain and itching associated with minor skin irritations, insect bites, minor burns or sun burns. The base oil will also carry your essential oils up the diffuser reeds so that they can diffuse into the air. Without the base oil your homemade reed diffuser would be overpoweringly strong. The Reed Oil is very effective and useful.
