You’ve got your new shiny essential oil starter kit (yay!) and you’re ready to dive in! But, wait. What’s carrier oil? Where do you get it? Where can you find roller balls to make your own custom blends? If you’re diving into the DIY world, you might come across recipes with specific items. Here’s the ultimate guide to essential oil supplies to get you started!

Carrier Oil

The most common accessory you’ll need is carrier oil. In order to dilute oils for topical use, make custom roller ball blends, or fill custom capsules with Vitality essential oils, you need some carrier!

Fractionated (liquid) Coconut Oil: find it here 
Jojoba Oil: find it here
Sweet Almond Oil: find it here
Avacado Oil: find it here

In a pinch you can also use any vegetable oil from your pantry to dilute essential oils for topical use, but for making roller balls, you’ll want a high quality, organic liquid oil such as the ones listed above.

When making custom capsules with Vitality oils, you will need an organic food grade oil such as avacado oil or olive oil. You can find Clear Vegetable Capsules here, or at your local health food store.
