WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OIL ROLLERS?
Essential Oil Rollers are a convenient and easy way to apply essential oils directly to the skin. Because essential oils are highly concentrated, they should almost always be diluted with a carrier oil before topical use.
It’s important to note that a carrier oil is not an essential oil. Carrier oils are generally gentle, mild oils that help dilute essential oils and allow them to spread easily across the skin. Many carrier oils are also readily absorbed by the skin.
Common examples of carrier oils include sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil and jojoba oil. Each has its own unique properties, making it easy to choose an option that works well for your preferred essential oil roller blends.
MAKE YOUR OWN
If you choose to make your own rollers, make sure not to add too many drops of essential oils, especially if you are using them on children or the elderly.
