How to use all the oil in the bottle

[aleza]

hi all
Please could someone tell me if there is a special knack of using the last bits of essential oil in the bottle? I bought a small quantity of orange from base formula to try out and love it so have used most of it in a month. The thing is, there is still about half an inch in the bottle but I can't get it out. When I turn the bottle upside down it seems to go straight past the dropper thing and sit around the neck and it seems silly to waste so much. There must be about 30 drops left there. The same has just happened to my Bergamot. They are both quite thin and easy to get out until now and it will be expensive if I buy 5mls and only get to use 2.5!!
Thanks
Love Melanie x

Hi Melsy,
Im with JoJo on this one - definately a pipette job.
And it is a standard Base Formula problem, as their droppers are bigger than the regular ones. Nonetheless, the BF Israeli (Shamuti?) orange is heavenly! Tend to use it for the kitchen, air purifiers and for burning. I also have their Italian organic orange, that I use in blends - very nice, but not quite as gorgeous...
Because citrus is usually cold pressed, you are best advised to use organic fruit as normally steam distillation will get rid of most nasty stuff... BF also have a steam distilled lime - which is also much more UV friendly, as well as skin friendly...

Just in case you haven't noticed, pricing of 50 and 100ml. bottles is only about 10% more than 5 and 10ml.

When you are down to 5 or 6 drops then I would just add water to the bottle, shake well and place in a burner. Leave the empty bottle open in the kitchen for a few days to - orange and pine for me at the mo in my kitchen ;-)
