Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about choosing and using Essentially Natural ingredients.

What are glass vials usually used for?

Glass vials are commonly used for small amounts of oils, extracts, samples, blends, and other liquid ingredients. They are a practical option when you need compact packaging for testing, decanting, or storage.

Do glass vials come with caps?

This depends on the specific product listing. Some vials are sold with matching caps or inserts, while others may require closures to be selected separately.

Are these vials food grade?

Do not assume they are food grade unless that is clearly stated on the product page. Some vials may be food safe, while others are intended for cosmetic, laboratory, or packaging use only.

How should I clean glass vials before reuse?

Wash the vial and closure with warm water and a suitable cleanser, then allow them to dry completely before filling again. This is especially important for oil-based, strongly scented, or preservative-free products.

What closure works best for a glass vial?

That depends on how you plan to use it. Standard caps are often best for simple storage, while some vials may suit applicator or insert options if those are available on the product page.
