How To Make Your Own Essential Oil Roll-Ons

December 4, 2017

Guys, I am a machine when it comes to making essential oil roll-ons! My favorite nightly routine is rolling lavender essential oil on my temples and upper chest. The scent relaxes my mind and body at the end of a long day. My family has been using essential oils for various health ailments for several years, but, it wasn’t until recently that I figured out that I can make my own version of the popular oil roll-ons.

Since the holidays are coming up, I am going to share some of my favorite DIY essential oil roll-ons with friends and family. It’s a homemade gift that is quick, easy, and affordable to make. I made about six bottles in less that 30 minutes. I focused on scents that combat stress, headaches, minor scrapes and burns, and nagging coughs and colds. I used fractioned coconut oil as my carrier oil, but you can use jojoba oil or almond oil instead, if you wish.

Looking for a DIY holiday gift for friends and family? Here’s how I made my DIY essential oil roll-ons.

Supplies:

Fractionated Coconut Oil
Essential oils, peppermint, lavender, tea tree, and breathe blend (I used doTERRA oils)
10 ml glass roll-on bottles with stainless steel roller balls, amber colored (the darker color glass is better for maintaining the quality of the oil)
Stainless steel funnels
Adhesive vinyl letters, or Silhouette America vinyl to cut with cutting machine

Instructions:

Step 1: Pour essential oil drops into the bottle. You do not need to use the funnel for this step. A general rule of thumb with the 10 ml bottle is to put 15-30 drops of essential oil into it. For my roll-ons, I used the following ratios.

Relax: 18 drops of Lavender

Cold: 20 drops of doTERRA Breathe blend

Headaches: 7 drops of Peppermint and 10 drops of Eucalyptus

Boo-Boos: 8 drops of Lavender and 7 drops of Tea Tree

Step 2: Fill the remainder of the glass bottle with fractioned coconut oil. The mini funnel is a life-saver on this step.

Step 3: Add the roller-ball top, and then the cap.

Step 4: Label the bottles. You can make up fun names, or include a list of the ingredients. I labeled my bottles with the ailments, as well as the essential oils on the other side of bottle.
