Carrier oil stick is great for those who don’t want to carry liquid carrier oils around with them. Just use this solid oil in place of a carrier oil.
A carrier oil stick is great for those who don’t want to carry liquid carrier oils around with them. All you have to do is swipe this on your skin, add your essential oil on the swipe and rub in! No more messy hands from using a liquid carrier oil!
You can purchase carrier oil sticks online for close to $15 but you can make them yourself for under $4 a stick!
Essential oils I use topically on a weekly basis:
- Frankincense – on my face and whole body
- Lavender – on my feet and whole body
- Tea Tree – on my face when I have a blemish
- Geranium – on my face
- Valor – on my wrists
- Joy – over my heart to lift my spirit
- Jasmine – on my face.. this essential oil is AMAZING for your skin!
- Gentle Baby – On my belly
- Helichrysum or PanAway – on my muscles
- Vetiver – on my feet before bed
Why use a carrier oil?
Carrier oils ensure that EOs applied topically are comfortable. Dilution with a carrier oil does not dilute the effect of the EO, and prevents waste due to excessive application.

December 7, 2015 at 11:22 amCould I add some Essential oils to mix as I am making the stick, so that I have different “flavored” sticks to travel with, rather than the stick AND a bottle of EO ?

December 2, 2015 at 9:37 amI just ordered the stuff to make these carrier oil sticks.. which sound amazing to me!! Couple questions..do you have any idea what the shelf life of one of these sticks would be? and can I just open Vitamin E oil capsules.. or do I need to actually buy it in the bottle ?
Thanks.. love your emails!
