Starting August 2026, we are sending our 0.3 ml samples in quality new total recovery sample vials*.
(*with the possible rare exception of extremely thick viscous aged oils - where the top opening could be too tight, but it hasn't happened so far, even with such oils, but we can not exlude the theoretical possibility)
The material of the vials is glass and there is a silicone septum on the inside part of the cap, so oils are only in contact with glass / silicone, never plastic.
Their small volume makes it ideal for samples and for optimizing their conservation : minimum headspace (space for oxygen, leading to oxidation) and a narrow shape of the inner tube that prevents the last drops from drying for as long as possible.
The bottles are transparent, allowing you to enjoy the robe of the oils (their colour and appearance). Consequently, it is imperative that you keep them in the dark, if you want your oils to last.
We send nice little (free) pouches with orders to facilitate that.
In the past we used to list samples at 0.25 ml but they were served in bigger vials. Now that the new vials contain 0.3 ml, we will update the listings progressively to that (if you see an old 0,25 ml listing on a product entry, you will of course receive 0.3ml in the new vials)
Discover all the different bottles and vials used for retail orders here.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
The exact 0.3ml content is obtained with the little bit of empty space at the bottom and filling up to the first ring (form the bottom going up) for screwing the cap on the neck, as shown on the first image below.
We try to serve a little more but extra space is limited, especially with thick and viscous oils.
