WHAT IS A CARRIER OIL?
/
A carrier oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fatty portion of a plant. Usually from the seeds, nuts and kernels. Carrier oils are used to appropriately dilute our powerful essential oils so that they are safe to apply to the skin of all ages and no irritation will occur. Dilution of essential oils with a carrier oil will not diminish the effects of the essential oil. 🥥
Since essential oils are 100% pure, it is advised to dilute them with a carrier oil to use them topically. The base carrier oil in doTERRA’s touch rollers is fractionated coconut oil. You can also make your own touch rollers at home if you have the pure oil and a rollerball. It’s super fun to create combos too.
We love fractionated coconut oil for almost every topical application one might need to do. This carrier is cheap, non-greasy and most skin types love it. Use it everywhere but the face. For the face, we love jojoba or rosehip.
To make a roller bottle take the lid off and pop the roller ball top out of your roller bottle
Add your label of choice to the outside of the roller, figure out which oils and blends you would like to use and add them to your empty 10 ml roller bottle.
Grab your favorite carrier oil of choice and fill the rest of your roller up, almost to the top. Make sure to leave a little room for the roller bottle topper.
Next, gently replace the roller topper and firmly push down so it is sealed and closed. Screw on your lid, give it a good shake and you're good to go. You can also simply mix gentle eo's in your palm with the carrier of choice. Then simply roll onto the area of concern.
