Best Essential Oil Roller Bottles: Benefits and Top 5 List

Application of essential oil is varied and all depends on individual preference. I have a diffuser for the house and car, an essential oil burner, candles, spray bottles and even some soap made from essential oils.

The one thing I had never tried was using a roller bottle so I decided to look into it.

I have used roller bottles for perfumes and found them easy to work with but it always seemed like they may not work as well with an oily substance like essential oils.

Experimenting with my favorite blends of essential oils soon proved me wrong because I found several things worked very well. These included:

• Easy application
• Ease of storage
• No wastage through leaks

Roller bottles for essential oils are actually genius piece of art!

Essential oils are precious so you want to always give them the best storage in order to use them for longer.

The roller bottles made for essential oils tend to be hardy and durable because they are meant for constant use. They are created to share cramped space with items in your purse or beauty bag without giving way and breaking.

Here are the main benefits of roller bottles for essential oils:

1. They are convenient

The bottles make dispensing the oil easy and less messy. You can make a huge batch of your favorite blend and store it in the bottle for convenience. This ensures you always have a bottle at hand.

2. You can take them with you

Roller bottles are easy to grab and go. Once you have placed your favorite oil inside on you can carry it wherever you go since they take absolutely no extra room. You can easily carry your oil in your purse or backpack without worry about spilling.

The glass is also very sturdy so it does not break easily even when knocked about within the confines of your bag.

3. They are great solution for sensitive skin

If you have sensitive skin roller bottles are a great option for testing out essential oils before using and achieving the correct dilution level that works for you. Once you have achieved the best dilution range just bottle the diluted oil and use it as needed.

4. They make dilution easy

Roller bottles provide an easy and convenient place to dilute your oils and store them immediately after. Instead of having to do your mix in another container and then fill up the bottles you can place the neat oil inside the bottles and add the diluting element storing it as you go.

5. They are easy to use with children

Since you need just a little oil when it comes to children the bottles become the best way to dispense appropriate amounts. They ensure that you do not end up with excess oil in your hands which may be too much for the child’s young skin.

How to use essential oil roller bottles?

Essential oil roller bottles are very easy to use.

First, you can easily get the bottles online at a very affordable price. Once you have the bottles in place process of filling them up with your favorite oils or blend is straightforward from there.

• Choose the roller bottles of your preference (it is recommended to use dark colored, amber or cobalt blue, bottles)
• Place the required drops of the oil in the bottle in their neat form
• Add the required drops of the diluting elements to each bottle
• Mix well by shaking the bottle
• Pop the roller into place
• Place the label with the ingredients onto the bottle
• Clean any spills on the body of the bottle
• Store the bottles in a dark place away from the sun (we recommend getting an organizer for these babies)

Ensure that you always use labels to indicate which oils are contained in the bottle and the quantities you used in a blend. This way, should you run out you do not have started tracking down the recipes and figuring out the quantities you used for each oil.

For even more ease when tracking specific roller bottles name them and place blend together and individual oil together. This system makes it easy to really grab and go. Invest in an organizer and enjoy your oils even more.

Ease of use

The roller tip allows just enough oil to be dispensed so you do not have to worry about excess oil.  The balls are made of steel which makes the rolling effect smooth and the application process easy.

The balls are a tight fit so you do not have to worry about the oil seeping through when not in an upright position.

Our take

These bottles are high quality making you wish they were more than just the 6 you receive in the pack. Since the balls are steel you do not have to worry about the deterioration of the ball unlike plastic balls (plastic can be worn down by essential oil).

They are made of glass which is always a good option for essential oil. At 3 1/4 inches with the cap on they are conveniently small to have in your purse or bag.

Ease of use

The package comes with 3 extra roller balls and 30 pieces of labels. This is to make sure that you always have an extra ball should something go awry with one or two and you can easily find your blends using the labels.

It also comes with two 1 ml droppers for efficient dispensing of your oils.

Additionally, you get an opener, a funnel and a bottle brush.

With this product, you do not have to worry every time you need to fill up your bottle as it comes with a Swiss key cap opener for opening your essential oils cap.

Our take

This is an excellent set of roller bottles for your essential oil. The bottles are easy to use and you have no leakage from dripping when they are in your bag.

They are easy to refill and the caps go on tight and upright every time you place them on the bottles.

Ease of use

The roller balls provide an easy and smooth application allowing you to use just a little oil at any given time.

You do not have to worry about drips or leakages as the balls are very tightly secured in place. This is because the roller balls easily pop into place and will only dispense oil when rolled out.

The product comes with an essential oil key tool for easy removal of the ball when you need to refill the bottle.

Our take

The multiple colors on the bottle allow you to organize your oil and blends in a manner which you prefer. This can eliminate the need for an organizer if you are using a few bottles at a time.

These are great for gifting your loved one because they work well in dispensing the oil and you can give specific blends and oils to specific people according to the color scheme of the bottle.

Ease of use

The 12 bottles allow you to have enough bottles for as many blends as you need. The package comes with 3 extra roller balls to ensure that you always have a spare and can use the bottle at all times.

The cap allows the ball to tightly fit into the bottle making sure that the dispensing process is smooth and effective. There is very little leakage with this product since the roller balls are of very high quality.

You also get 24 labels to name your blends and oils.

Our take

The amber color of the bottle is a huge plus as it ensures that your essential oils are safe and remain unaltered. The bottles are corrosion resistant which means you will use them for the longest time.

Design of the bottles is subtle but very effective especially the funnel detail.

This product has considered safety, design and application every step of the way. We absolutely love the gold caps!

Ease of use

The balls move along smoothly and allow just enough oil to seep through. The bottles have been filled with different blends and so you do not have to start off making blends.

You can just begin by using the already created blends and refill the bottles at a later date with your batch.

Our take

These bottles are not only functional and practical but they are also very stylish. Whipping one out in public is not going to harm your style appeal.

The labels can be used to maintain similar blends even after the original blend is finished.

High quality and exceptional application make them a must-have.
