1. How Do You Use A Roller Bottle?

A roller bottle is a glass bottle that holds the essential oils mixture and carrier oil. This will make topical applications of essential oil easier for you. The essential oils are mix and diluted, ready to be used at any time. It is very convenient for traveling and little kids. All you need to do is roll it on your skin, no mess and prediluted.  It is recommended to use a roller bottle with a metal ball, or a natural gemstone ball. Some essential oils such as citrus oils may eat through plastic and could be dangerous for human usage.  A gentle reminder that essential oils should not be stored in plastic containers. Some of its qualities could break down the plastic, and destroy the components of the essential oils.

Most diluted essential oils could last up to 2 years if it is kept properly and using good carrier oils. But I have yet to test this theory as all my roller bottles are always finished within few weeks because I am an avid user.
