How to Make a Roller Blend with Essential Oils

Roller blends are great for their convenience and ease of use. There are some blends you’ll find you use frequently or want to have ready to use. It’s so much faster to grab a roller that’s already mixed and roll it on.

All you need is a glass roller bottle, a carrier oil, and the essential oils you want to blend. I like fractionated coconut oil, and I’ve included a few scent combinations below if you’re wondering where to start.

Essential Oil Roller Blend Supplies

• Essential oils
• A 10 mL glass roller bottle
• A carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil
• Labels. I use Avery 6570.
• A roller-top remover

Can we pause on the roller-top remover for a minute? Save your fingers and use this little tool to pop the top off your roller bottle. Trust me!

My Favorite Carrier Oil

Fractionated coconut oil is my favorite carrier oil. We like to call it FCO for short. It’s coconut oil with some of the fats removed so it stays liquid. The reason I love it is that it has very little scent and feels nice on my skin.

Sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and olive oil are other options. If you already have a carrier oil you like, start there.

How to Make a Roller Blend

How are you at math? Don’t worry! Start by checking the directions for the oils you picked. That will help you figure out how much essential oil to use in your bottle. If you’re using more than one oil, count the drops from all the essential oils in the blend when working out the dilution.

1. Add your measured essential oils to the glass roller bottle.
2. Fill the rest of the bottle with your carrier oil, leaving a little room for the roller top.
3. Press the roller top into place, cap the bottle, and gently roll it between your hands to mix.
4. Don’t forget to label it! Write down which oils you used and how much of each so you can make it again if you love it.

Three Scent Combinations to Try

Peppermint + Wild Orange. Peppermint has that cool, minty scent. Add Wild Orange if you like a little citrus in the mix.

Wild Orange + Balance. If you enjoy citrus but want something a little woodsy, try pairing Wild Orange with doTERRA Balance.

Lavender + Serenity. If you like a floral scent for your evening routine, try Lavender with doTERRA Serenity. I share more combinations in Sleep and Relaxation With Essential Oils.

If you’re just starting out, pick one blend you’re excited to try. Once you find a favorite, you’ll know which roller to keep handy.

One quick note. These ideas are for adult skin use. Check the directions for each oil, including dilution and any sun exposure precautions. Use your roller on intact skin and keep it away from your eyes and out of reach of children and pets.
