Pure Daily Care's diffuser comes in a bundle with 10 essential oils that include soothing tea tree oil and nutmeg oil, among other popular scents. Stored in the base of this ultrasonic diffuser are hand-carved chunks of pink Himalayan salt, which ionize the air to improve mist quality. These salt blocks also glow with a soothing ambiance when lit up as the machine is turned on. 

A few users have complained that the mist output is very weak compared to other diffusers and that the scent doesn't permeate across large spaces.

They added that depending on how many drops of oil they used, the smell could become quite potent.

So long as you take care in using them, these porcelain oil diffusers can be a stunning addition to your home or yoga studio. One tealight candle can burn for up to two and a half hours wherein the oil-water mixture can last up to six. Instead of producing a mist, these candle-based diffusers boil the water and oil mixture to create a relaxing scent throughout the room.

One or two users reported cracking in the porcelain after they lit the candles. It's recommended by the manufacturer to add the water and the oils before lighting the candle. Otherwise, these tealight diffusers are popular for how easy to clean and use they are. A few users say they bought scented candles in addition to the essential oils, and that the scent was lovely.

Pros:

• Open wooden frame decreases the risk of burning fingers on porcelain
• Candle lasts longer due to the open nature of the frame
• Bowl and spoon are easy to remove for cleaning

The base is made of treated bamboo wood and fits nicely with a natural aesthetic.

One or two people said the fragrance created by these diffusers wasn't potent enough for their taste, but by and large, users were thrilled with how well the candles diffused scents throughout their homes.
