White Crystals on Reed Diffuser Reeds

The white crystals you are seeing on your reed diffuser reeds are likely crystallized components from the fragrance oil. This is a relatively common phenomenon that occurs when certain ingredients in the fragrance oil are not fully soluble in the diffuser base or precipitate out as the liquid evaporates from the reeds.

• What are they? They are typically solid or semi-solid compounds present in the fragrance oil that crystallize upon evaporation.
• Are they dangerous? Generally, these crystals are not considered harmful. However, they can potentially clog the pores of the reeds over time, which might reduce the efficiency of scent diffusion.
• How to fix it?
  • The most effective solution is often to try a different fragrance oil. Some fragrance oils contain components that are more prone to crystallization than others.
  • Ensure the fragrance oil is thoroughly mixed with the Reed Diffuser Base.
  • Flipping the reeds can help maintain diffusion, but the crystals may continue to form.

This crystallization is often a characteristic of the specific fragrance oil being used. If it significantly impacts diffusion, switching to a different fragrance oil is recommended.
