When incorporating essential oils into your personal care and wellness routine, it's important to have the right tools and accessories beyond the oils themselves. 

Here is a list of items to consider:

1. Diffusers

Diffusers are a must-have for anyone looking to use essential oils for aromatherapy. Different designs include electric diffusers that use heat or ultrasonic technology to disperse the oils, or simple reed diffusers that use natural reeds to absorb and diffuse the oils. Ultrasonic diffusers are the easiest to use and can double as a conversation piece. 

2. Carrier Oils

Before applying pure essential oils to your skin, you need to dilute them. Carrier oils allow you to do this. Common carrier oils include coconut oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oil.

3. Glass Bottles

When storing and transporting essential oils, it is important to use glass bottles. Essential oils can react with plastic, altering the quality and effectiveness of the oil. Glass bottles protect the oils from light and heat, and make it easy to dispense the oil in small amounts. Dropper bottles are a great option for this purpose, as they allow for easy and precise measurements.

4. Rollerball Bottles

Small glass bottles with a rollerball applicator on the top make it easy to apply essential oils precisely to your skin for aromatherapy or targeted skincare. They are also a great option for travel because of their compact size and ease of packing.

5. Himalayan Salt

Himalayan salt and other varieties can be used as an emulsifier to mix essential oils with water-based products, such as lotions or sprays. This can be especially useful when creating your own custom blends or when using essential oils in a humidifier or for a relaxing bath.

7. Measuring tools

When creating custom blends, it is important to have a set of measuring tools on hand, such as a dropper or pipettes. This ensures that you are using the correct amounts of each oil and allows you to create blends tailored to your specific needs.

8. Facial Steamers

This is a valuable tool for skincare. Facial steamers use warm water and essential oils to create a steam that can be used to open up the pores, allowing the oils to penetrate deeper into the skin.

9. Aromatherapy Jewelry

A set of clay or ceramic diffuser jewelry can be useful for incorporating essential oils into your personal care and wellness routine. These can be in the form of necklaces, bracelets, or even earrings and are designed to hold a small amount of essential oil that can be diffused throughout the day. Aromatherapy jewelry have porous beads, pads, or pendants that can absorb essential oils, allowing you to wear them throughout the day for a subtle and ongoing aromatherapy experience. This is a great way to experience the benefits of essential oils while on the go, and it can be a fashionable and discreet way to use essential oils.

10. Storage Cases

For those who have a large collection of essential oils, a storage case can help keep them organized and protected. These cases can range from simple wooden boxes to more elaborate carrying cases with compartments and slots for each individual bottle.

12. Blending Beakers

If you enjoy creating their own custom blends, blending beakers can be a useful tool. These small glass beakers come with measurement markings and can be used to measure and mix essential oils.

13. Spray Bottles

Empty spray bottles can be filled with a mixture of essential oils and water for an easy way to use your oils. Be sure to add an emulsifier such as salt or witch hazel to allow the oil to mix into the water properly. You can also use spray bottles to make your own DIY cleaning products with essential oils. Glass bottles are ideal since the concentrated oils can degrade plastic over time. 

How To Decide What To Buy

With so many different items you can use with essential oils, it can be overwhelming to determine what exactly you need to get started. The best way to determine what you need is to think about how you personally would enjoy using your oils. If you prefer aromatherapy, then you’ll need a diffuser, but may not need to worry about carrier oils. On the other hand, you will need to get carrier oils for topical application. Keep in mind that you can always start small with just a few essential items and build your collection from there.
