HOW TO MAKE A ROLLER
One of the coolest things about essential oils is the ability to make all sorts of DIY recipes, including your favorite blends! Making your own blend in a roller bottle is a great way for easy application, traveling on the go, and day to day use! It also helps all your oils last and go a long way. You can come up with great rollers such as your favorite perfume, calming blend for both you and/or kids, a blend for focus, skin care, etc!
WHERE TO FIND ROLLERS
It’s always better to use glass when making your DIY oily things in order to keep the oils free of any degradation due to improper storage and leaking of any chemicals from plastic containers). The most common size roller bottle used is 10ml.

YOUNG LIVING ROLLER FITMENTS
If you purchased one of Young Living's premium starter bundles, your bundle came with two of these tricky little things -- at least they can seem
tricky at first! These roller fitments can turn any oil you have into a roller, making it super easy
to use! Sometimes it’s nice to get the straight, undiluted oil right on your skin.
HOW TO APPLY THE ROLLER FITMENT
• Remove the clear reducer cap from your bottle of oil & replace it with the roller fitment.
• Make sure you feel it click so that it stays in place.
Here's a helpful video to walk you through it:
HOW TO DILUTE
When making your roller bottle, you want to dilute your essential oils in order to make your oils last a long time. Diluting doesn’t take away from the potency of the essential oil, it’s just mixing it with a “carrier oil” (AKA a fatty oil from the seed of the plant).
Here are our favorite carrier oils to use to dilute:
• Young Living's V-6 vegetable oil complex
• Organic jojoba oil (great for face/skin)
And here’s a great useful guide to follow when it comes to diluting oils (referencing the 10ml
bottle):
Oil drop dilution percentage:
1 drop — makes up 0.5% of bottle
2 drops — 1%
4 drops — 2%
6 drops — 3%
10 drops — 5%
20 drops —10%
50 drops — 25%
Once you add your oil drops of choice to match your preferred dilution percentage, fill the rest
of the bottle with a carrier oil.
