Disadvantage of essential oils in plastic bottles-
Plastic bottles should be avoided completely for essential oils as the essential oils can dissolve the plastic. Essential oils react vehemently with plastic and eat it out. This will make them rancid and impure over time. To avoid this, never use plastic bottles. Avoid bottles that have a rubber dropper incorporated into its screw-top cap.
