Make your own CBD roll ons with this easy recipe using CBD essential oils!
What is an essential oil roller?
Essential oils roller bottles are a popular and easy way to use aromatherapy at home, at work or on the go. Essential oil rollers, also known as rollerballs and roll-ons, area widely available online and in stores, typically in a 10mL bottle with a small metal ball that helps to apply the oils to your skin. Essential oil rollers can be made with single oils such as Lavender essential oil rollers, Peppermint essential oil rollers and Frankincense essential oil rollers. They can also be made with essential oil blends for relieving pain, fatigue, skin blemishes, headaches and much more.
In the past few years, CBD infused essential oils rollers have gained extreme popularity due to the boost in benefits. CBD essential oil roll ons are made the same way as essential oil rollers but have the addition of all-natural hemp oil which has been shown to be very beneficial in terms of relief. CBD roll ons typically have 50-250mg of hemp and can be on the more expensive side, especially when infused with Broad or Full Spectrum hemp, which can range from $20 – $50 for just a small roller.
Making your own essential oil rollers is actually fun and allows you to tailor the aromas to your needs and preferences. You only need a few simple ingredients, an empty roller bottle or two and a few minutes to craft your own custom CBD infused essential oil roll ons!

Which carrier oils should I use?
Carrier oils are what makes the roll on safe and easy to use on your skin. Essential oils and CBD are fat soluble and require an oil to properly mix with. Lucky for us, carrier oils are not only filled with fats, but also help to do the job or carrying the essential oils and cannabinoids through our skin and deep into our tissues where they can enter our bloodstream and perform their magic. Using one oil is typical for roll ons, but if you want to get creative, you can blend different carrier oils for a wider range of skin nourishing and even reparative properties. We have a few carrier oil blend recipes here. Our favorite carrier oils are:
- Fractionated coconut oil (MCT oil) – FCO is a light oil that is quickly absorbed by your skin and is ultra-moisturizing – Great for dry skin!.
- Hemp seed oil – Hemp Seed Oil is another light oil that is quickly absorbed by your skin and is ultra-moisturizing and is rich with essential fatty acids and other nourishing compounds.
- Grapeseed oil – Grapeseed is a light oil that is quickly absorbed by your skin and is ultra-moisturizing and contains many essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help your skin look more youthful and glow.
- Jojoba oil – Jojoba is a light, waxy oil that is quickly absorbed by your skin and is ultra-moisturizing and helps balance oily and dry skin – great for clearing up acne and other blemishes.
- Sweet almond oil – Sweet Almond Oil is a bit heaver of an oil but is still fairly quickly absorbed by your skin and is ultra-moisturizing.

You can always use other brands CBD essential oils, but most only have about 100mg per essential oil bottle which is too low to make your own rollers and other DIY projects. In the evenet this what you have, you will need to supplement the amount of CBD with a CBD Carrier Oil or CBD Tincture (OUCH!) in order to reach above 100mg per bottle – a level that is most beneficial.
