I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. WHERE? Down in my heart. WHERE? Down in my heart…
You know that feeling when you smell something good, and that smell automatically makes you feel happy? Or maybe when you wince over a foul smell? Well, for us essential oils fanatics, we can rely on aromatherapy to influence our mood.
Citrus oils are known to be effective mood-boosters. Their sweet, citrusy aroma is invigorating and uplifting. So, to harness feelings of joy and positivity, we made a roll-on blend with citrus essential oils that help promote JOY!
What I Love About This Citrus Joy Roll-On Recipe
Citrus Joy Roll-On gives me a quick pick-me-up in the middle of the day. It smells so deliciously sweet that even kids love it!
What’s in This Roll-On Recipe?
Grapefruit Essential Oil
The fresh and citrusy aroma of Grapefruit Essential Oil is both calming and energizing. It has been shown to improve focus, motivation, and help with mental fatigue. Such a great oil for mood-boosting!
Mandarin Essential Oil
Like other citrus oils, Mandarin Essential Oil is also uplifting. This oil is also relaxing and calming.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated Coconut is used as a carrier oil to dilute the essential oils to make it safe for topical use. This oil is colorless and odorless in nature which makes it perfect for essential oil roll-on recipes.
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time,) it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor prior to use.
This recipe is safe to use with kids aged 2+.
