Powerful Homemade "Bug Off" Essential Oil Roller

6/10/2020

The Sun Shines. The Weather Warms. The "Outdoor Annoyances" Come Flying In.

A few weeks ago I shared about our Bug Off Spray which is basically a household favorite from April through October. The amount of time we spend outdoors, we are always using our Bug Off Spray on the dogs and ourselves. Today I decided to make a similar recipe that you can also use when going outside but it's to make an essential oil roller.

The purpose of the roller is still to keep the outdoor annoyances away but this Bug Block Roller will be a great way to conveniently use the essential oils as a topical solution when on the go. The spray can been used directly on the skin too, but this is just another recipe option for outdoor oils. Essential oil rollers are easy to pack in an essential oil bag or purse

Ingredients for the Bug Block Roller:

10 ml essential oil roller bottle
Citronella Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil
Geranium Essential Oil
Alternative Essential Oil Options: Lemongrass, Purification, Thieves, Lavender, Lemon, Eucalyptus.
Fractionated Coconut Oil

Bug Block Roller Recipe:

In a 10 ml Essential Oil Roller Bottle
10 -15 drops of Citronella Essential Oil
10-15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil
10 -15 drops of Geranium Essential Oil
Alternative Essential Oil Options: Lemongrass, Purification, Thieves, Lavender, Lemon, Eucalyptus.
Fill the rest of the roller bottle with Fractionated Coconut Oil

How to use Bug Block Roller:

I use this roller behind my ears, on my wrists, on my ankles, and on the back of my neck when going outside.

Safety Tip: Remember if you add lemon, lemongrass, or purification or any essential oil that mentions photosensitive on the label only use in the evening and when not going to be exposed to the sun. Since citrus oil can cause photosensitivity, avoid applying citrus oils and citrus blends to exposed skin before spending time outside.

I have found the Essential Oil Desk Reference to be a big help in learning about essential oil safety. I have listed my favorite resources including other books on my supply page to support our community gather more information.

Remember, essential oil rollers are great to pack with you while on the go so that you can leave the house with all of your oil needs. It's also much easier to use a variety of essential oils together more often when they are pre-made in rollers! Try making some of my favorite essential oil roller blends!

Product Review: I like to keep my essential oils and essential oil rollers in these travel bags. It's nice to have a travel bag in my purse, book bag, and suitcase so that I know my essential oils are secure while on the go!
