Carrier oil for roll on EO??

[Laurabolyard]

Yay!! My roller balls have arrived!! Which do you think will behave better as a carrier oil to mix EOs, apricot or avocado? These are just for personal use.

I would go with whichever one is thinner out of the bottle, simply so it won't tend to gum up the roller.

That's what I'm wondering! I can't really tell, so in the sprit of experimentation... lol!!

I use fractionated coconut. Apricot would work better in your case I think. Avocado is greasier.

Thank you!! I've been wondering about the fractionated coconut for several things. I am completely unfamiliar,but it co,es up a lot, I'll have to give it a try!

I second fractionated CO. I use it in small spray bottles with EO and it hasn't gunked up the mechanism plus its not a greasy oil, soaks right into the skin.

My fave roll-on perfume oil company uses rice bran oil. I love their perfumes!

Just EO and the oil? Anything else?
Thank you!

I've been reading (here) a lot about both of these. Sounds like they are good oils for me to keep for many things that I'm looking to make. Thank you!!

I use half avocado and half Cyclomethicone, but I love rice bran oil, so I might try that in my next batch!

I just use the oil and EO/FO for my roll on's. No issues at all.

I had t even considered a spray! I like that thought as well. I'm glad to know that it works!

I also prefer fractionated CO, beside the feel it practically last forever
