Learn how to make an essential oil roller

Learn how to make your own essential oil rollers in 3 easy steps! Your life will never be the same. Essential Oil Rollers are my favorite method of using oils because they are so easy and convenient.

One of the biggest benefits of essential oil rollers is that the essential oil is already diluted. This makes the essential oil safe to use, and you can use a greater dilution for babies, children, the elderly, or anyone who is sensitive. When the essential oils are diluted, they last longer on your skin and absorb more efficiently, and there is less evaporation. This is especially useful if you have an essential oil that is pricey and you want to make it last as long as possible.

Another huge benefit of essential oil rollers is their convenience.I can throw the rollers in my purse or backpack, keep them in the bathroom, kitchen, kids room, my nightstand, wherever. I simply swipe the roller on pulse points or swipe down my kid’s backs as they are headed out for school in the morning.

Step Two

Grab your favorite carrier oil of choice. (I usually use fractionated Coconut Oil). Fill the rest of your roller almost all the way to the top. Be sure to leave a little room for the roller bottle topper. Don’t want all this oily goodness overflowing and going to waste. That would be really sad.

A Little Info on Fractionated Coconut Oil

Fractionated Coconut oil is a little more processed than regular coconut oil which can solidify in cooler temperatures. This solid form wouldn’t work so well in a roller. Pretty much any high quality oil can function as a carrier oil.

I prefer using coconut oil because it doesn’t have a strong scent. Coconut Oil is really amazing for our skin and has many practical uses. This fractionated coconut oil is my favorite. If you can’t use or don’t like coconut oil, some other options are Jojoba, Argan, Avocado, Almond, Grapeseed, or Olive Oil.
