Airburst Waterless Diffuser

The Airburst is a small, powerful nebulizing diffuser operating without water. Waterless diffusion technology can suspend oil particles up to 70 minutes air the air while ultrasonic technologies less than 20 minutes. Waterless technologies have superior results with about 50% of fragrance stays in air for over 20 minutes.

1. Remove the Nebulizer cover. Remove the cap from the essential oil bottle. Do not remove the oil dropper.
   
2. Screw the oil bottle into the unit. (5mL, 10mL, and 15mL bottles can fit easily with cover on. 30mL bottles can fit without the cover.) Tighten the bottle without forcing it.
   
3. Place the cover back and allow 1 minute for essential oil to enter chamber before powering unit.

What is the difference between an ultrasonic essential oil diffuser and a waterless nebulizer?

An ultrasonic essential oil diffuser uses water to disperse a continuous mist of scented vapor into the air. It works by breaking down essential oils into tiny particles and releasing them with a cool mist, adding both fragrance and humidity to a space.

A waterless nebulizer, on the other hand, disperses pure essential oil without dilution. It delivers three short bursts of concentrated oil into the air, allowing the scent to linger more effectively over time. Because it doesn't use water, it provides a more potent and immediate aroma without increasing humidity.

How much space does a waterless nebulizer scent?

The coverage of a waterless nebulizer depends on the size of the room and airflow. In smaller spaces like a bathroom, the scent will be more concentrated and noticeable. In larger areas, such as a living room, the fragrance will be more subtle but still present. Even in a 400-square-foot space, you’ll detect the scent, though it won’t be as intense as a continuously running diffuser.

Since the nebulizer releases short bursts of pure essential oil, the fragrance travels beyond its immediate placement, especially in open areas or rooms with high ceilings. For example, in a living room with 14- to 16-foot ceilings, the scent can disperse well beyond 250 square feet, lingering effectively throughout the space.

How do essential oils work?

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their therapeutic properties. They work in two main ways:

1. Through inhalation – Aromatic molecules travel through the nose, triggering reactions in the brain.
2. Through the skin – Their tiny molecules absorb into the body and can be detected in perspiration, urine, and breath.

Different oils have different effects—some are calming, others anti-inflammatory, and some even boost immunity.

What is the difference between fragrance oils, essential oils, and all-natural fragrances?

• Essential Oils – Pure plant extracts obtained via steam distillation or cold pressing.
• All-Natural Fragrances – A mix of essential oils and natural ingredients. These are the only types we use.
• Fragrance Oils (Perfumes) – Can include essential oils, natural fragrances, and artificial aroma chemicals. Many brands use artificial fragrances to cut costs, but their full ingredient lists are often hidden.

Why do essential oil prices vary so much?

The price of essential oils depends on factors like plant yield, transportation costs, and growing conditions. Some plants require significantly more raw material to produce oil—for example, 1 lb. of Lavender Oil requires 1,000 lbs. of lavender, whereas 1 lb. of Rose Oil requires 600 TONS of roses!

Are your essential oils “therapeutic grade”?

"Therapeutic grade" is simply a marketing term—there is no third-party certification for essential oils. However, essential oils can be Certified Organic if they meet independent verification standards.

We source essential oils from Lebermuth (many of our Certified Organic!), a trusted supplier with over a century of experience.

How many drops of essential oil should I use in my diffuser?

A good rule of thumb is 3-5 drops per 100ml of water, but always check your diffuser’s capacity.

Are essential oils safe to ingest?

No. Unless under the guidance of a licensed practitioner, essential oils should not be taken internally, as some compounds can be toxic when ingested.

Can I apply essential oils directly to my skin?

No, essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil before applying to the skin. They are highly concentrated and can cause irritation if used undiluted.

What does “dermal use limit” mean?

This is the maximum recommended percentage of an essential oil that can be applied to the skin. Our guidelines are based on Essential Oil Safety by Robert Tisserand & Rodney Young, the industry standard for safe use.

If you experience irritation, discontinue use immediately. If using prescription topical medications, apply essential oils to a separate area of skin.
