Most oils come in a dropper bottle or a pump. Ours comes in a 10ml cobalt-blue glass roll-on. People ask why, so this is the long answer.
The short answer is that we designed the bottle around how the oil actually gets used: a few strokes at a time, often away from home, by people who don't want oily fingers.
Roll-on, not dropper
Droppers are fine on a bathroom shelf. Anywhere else they drip, spill and put oil on your fingers before it reaches your skin. You also tend to use more than you need, because a drop is a fixed size whether you wanted that much or not.
A roller puts the oil exactly where you want it, in a thin layer you control. There's no pipette to refill and nothing to knock over in a bag.
A steel roller ball
The ball is steel. It is smooth on the skin, it doesn't crack and it is easy to wipe clean with a dry tissue. It sits in a fitment that holds it in place and controls the flow of oil, so each stroke delivers a thin, even layer.
Glass, not plastic
The bottle is heavy cobalt-blue glass. It feels solid in the hand, it doesn't scratch easily and it looks the part on a shelf, in a treatment room or on a bedside table.
Dark glass has long been used for oils for a reason: it cuts down the light reaching what's inside. It is still worth keeping the bottle out of direct sunlight. Glass is also widely recycled in the UK, which matters to us and to a lot of our customers.
Why 10ml?
10ml is small enough to forget about until you need it. It fits a jeans pocket, a kit bag side pocket, a washbag, a desk drawer or a handbag. It is also a sensible size for a concentrated, two-ingredient oil applied a few strokes at a time.
Smaller bottles have another advantage. Each one is used up and replaced with a fresh one, rather than sitting half full in a cupboard for a year.
Under 100ml for hand luggage
At most UK airports, liquids in hand luggage need to be in containers of 100ml or less, carried in a clear resealable bag. A 10ml bottle fits that comfortably, so there's no need to check it in. Rules can change and some airports have different scanners, so always check your airport's current guidance before you travel.
What's inside
Two ingredients: cold-pressed hemp seed oil and a multi-strain hemp extract. Nothing added for scent, colour or shelf life. What's in the bottle is the plant. You can read about each ingredient in What's actually inside Magic Oil PURE.
