Who it’s for: Aromatherapy junkies will love upgrading to this beautiful diffuser.
How much it willl cost: $100
Why we picked the Raindrop 2.0 Nebulizing Essential Oil Diffuser:
Unlike other diffusers that require water and heat, this Raindrop diffuser uses only pure essential oil to function. You don’t need to add water, which can dilute the fragrance and also attract mold if the diffuser is not maintained properly. Furthermore, the diffuser doesn’t use heat, which can change the therapeutic properties of certain oils. So how does this diffuser work? It uses a quiet air pump to atomize essential oil into millions of tiny particles, and the result is a concentrated fragrance that can spread across a large room very quickly. If bold and effective scents are what you’re looking for, this is a great diffuser to try out. Plus, it’s made entirely of hardwood and hand-blown glass, so you don’t have to worry about any plastic-releasing toxic chemicals.
