Here are 17 essential oil roller bottle recipes that help you with nearly every area of life!
We use a lot of roller bottles in this house! I’ve got several in each of my kids’ rooms and all throughout the kitchen, my bedroom and bathroom. They make using essential oils so practical and easy!
How to Make a Roller Bottle
Carrier Oil
You need 1 tbsp. of any carrier oil. Here are some of my top favorites:
- Fractionated Coconut Oil
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Jojoba Oil (for the face and scalp especially)
- Olive Oil
- Grapeseed Oil
- V-6 oil (combo of 6 vegetable oils)
Roller Bottles
You need a roll on bottle. Here are several different popular options.
- Clear with black top
- Brown amber with gold top
- Rose gold with gold top
- Clear with gold top
- Waterproof, vinyl labels (optional)
- Printable set of labels (you can use over and over)
Making Your Roller Bottle
Put in the essential oils first (10-20 drops per bottle), then add the carrier oil. Push on the roller ball top, then screw on the cap. To dilute for children, see my guide here.
To apply the labels, wipe the bottle down with rubbing alcohol first, then dry with a paper towel. Or, wash with soap and water and then dry with a paper towel.
My Favorite Essential Oils Company
I buy my essential oils exclusively from Young Living. I have found their quality and standards to be the best in the business! Their oils have worked better for me and my family than any other company’s oils. They have very strict quality standards and I’ve seen them for myself as I’ve visited several of their farms. No pesticides or herbicides and they hand weed their fields as farming equipment can damage plants and cause the essential oils that come from them to be less effective.

What does the Hormones roller bottle do for you?
I am looking into this one as well, I would be interested in the answer to your question to.
Great question! It helps to balance women’s hormones. For me, it has reduced my menstrual cramps to almost nothing!! It also balances my mood and decreased my flow.
Silly question, I am new to oils! But where do you use the roller? Is it just known it goes on just your wrists?
Hi Amanda! Not a silly question at all. So you apply it where its needed. So if you have a headache, you’ll roll it on your head and neck. If you’ve got a cold, roll it on your sinuses, the spine, and chest. Two good places to apply all oils are the bottoms of the feet and the spine because both are nerve centers and they help get the oils all over the body.
Hi I was a Young Living associate for years and went inactive last year. I am looking for a group that is into the education and of wholistic uses of essential oil
I am passed the monthly cycles. Thank goodness. Would the same recipe of oils work for me. The hormone roller bottle? Turning 65 next year.
Thanks For Sharing Your Content. Keep Doing Good Work.
keep it up…
Thank you for the great post!! I love your writing skills and the way you explain every step is awesome.
You’re welcome!
How do you use the “Glow” recipe?
Hi Lisa! So the glow recipe is to help your skin glow – great for helping with the signs of ageing, dry skin, blemishes, etc. You just roll on the face and massage in after washing.
Does the course cost anything?
Hi Julie! No my email course is totally free!
Hi like to learn more about the oils
Quick question: The directions say use 1 Tbl. carrier oil then you list difference recipes for each catergory. But is just one Tbl. then 15 or so drops of essential oils not be enough to fill the roller bottle?
Thanks!
