There is no wrong way to use your oils (aside from just not using them!), especially since oils integrate into every area of our lives - rollers, room sprays, DIY supplements, candle replacements and so.much.more. From roller bottles to carriers to anything you want to DIY, here are all the supplies you need to use your oils to the fullest!
CARRIER OILS
Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils for either topical use or internal use. When using oils internally, make sure to use ingestible oils such as high-quality olive oil or coconut oil.
- Organic Arnica Oil
- V-6 Carrier oil: a blended carrier oil from Young Living for any topical use
- Organic cold-pressed olive oil: can be used for internal or topical application
- Fractionated coconut oil: liquid at room temperature and will not solidify, often used for roller blends
- Organic unrefined coconut oil: often used for salves, creams, body butters, topical dilution
- Jojoba oil: liquid at room temperature, used in roller blends, facial serums, a good overall carrier oil
- Argan oil: liquid carrier, good for skincare
- Castor oil: often used for eyelash serums, adrenal serums
- Vitamin E oil: often added to skincare DIYs
- Sweet Almond Oil
