What are the differences between Essential Oils and Air Candy Oils?
All of the AirCandy line are high-quality synthetic fragrances. These scents are different from the natural form; for example, the Essential Oils "Creme" is 100% authentic vanilla aromatic derived from real vanilla beans (that's why it's black in color) while the AirCandy "French Vanilla" is a high-quality artificial vanilla. The artificial vanilla is much more common in everyday life. AirCandy products are NOT essential oils; rather, they are very high quality, common fragrances that most people seem to enjoy quite a bit.
Is It Safe To Use Essential Oils All Night?
Indeed. People quickly become acclimated to the scents and research has shown that the olfactory sense basically turns off while you are asleep. You will smell the pleasant aroma when you need it the most; while relaxing and falling asleep and also again when you awaken. Remember, we are talking about extremely small quantities of aromatics (a little goes a long way) and all of the essential oils used in the Pur-Sleep are considered safe for human consumption by the FDA.
Can I Re-Use the Diffusion Pads?
The Pur-Sleep Diffusion Pads are made of durable fabrics and may be hand-washed and re-used. Simply wash with a mild detergent, rinse well, and air dry.
Can I Use Other Essential Oils?
No. Since the carefully formulated Pur-Sleep line of 100% pure essential oils have been selected from the FDA GRAS list and are known or believed to have properties and qualities that support relaxation and sleep and have complementary aromatic qualities it is highly recommend that you use only Pur-Sleep essential oils in the Passive Diffuser.
How Much Essential Oil Should I Use?
