Why is it best to avoid using these rollers with citrus and frankincense? Would plastic rollers be better for those oils?

I use the rollers on peppermint and lemongrass. I use the peppermint frequently and it is great to roll across my shoulders, forhead, sore muscles and tummy. When needed, I roll lemongrass over the peppermint and this works for mel. I place Frankincense drops under my toung so I never placed a roller on it. I may have read that the citrus oils were too thick but they seem to have the same consistancy to me. I really enjoy the roller balls.

You never ever want to use plastic with any essential oils. The oils will leach the petrochemicals out of the plastic and put them into your body. Always use glass or metal. The metal rollers are fine....I'm assuming they are talking about the plastic housing.

My daughter uses lime/lemon/orange oils all the time in her Briteleaf and thus far no problems. Most oils result in some residue that should be cleaned out now and then using a Q Tip and warm water.

I would use only coconut oil, won't go bad and last forever. But I think that this machine is the worst on the market, I have yet to find one that is worth the money or holds up. But this in y opinion is the worst machine that I have ever owned.

I try not to use herbs in plastic bottles. That's what I was impressed with this black seed oil. The fact it came in glass & the amber colored bottles. If you decide to use plastic make sure it BP free. Not sure if this answered your question, I hope it helped you.

No problem with the plastic. Are you using pure oil? A lot of the cheap oils are cut with chemicals.

Use an oil made for machine or ball bearing movement like 3-in-1 oil (comes in small container). Olive oil is not good for this purpose, as it will break down over time.

You could use it with oil but if you've read some of the other responses the rollers can grab hair. You may want a massage unit that doesn't have the roller like one of the Wahl products.

I have not yet used it with Young Living oils, but I have used it with DoTERRA oils and haven't had any issues. The machine is designed to be used with non-synthetic essential oils, so you shouldn't have any problems. The directions do state not to use synthetic oils in the machine though, as those can degrade the plastic.

I recommend NOT using any cooking oils, such as olive oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil & the like! Citrus oils are fine, in fact, one of my favorite blends are, Lemmon & pepperment combo.Oh, as for the oil issue I'm just kidding!

I have used Orange and lemon oil in this and haven't seen any problems, but I would be careful using Cinnamon or cloves in anything plastic.

The citrus oils will leach petrochemicals out of the plastic. You will then be diffusing them into the air you breathe.

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

My understanding with diffusers being plastic and diffusing citrus oils is that it is okay. The plastic is a harder plastic and doesn't deteriorate like it would with other plastics. Even the doTERRA diffusers have a plastic interior.

I have a Noor and I like it. However, the paperwork tells you to avoid using citrus oils, which really stinks. A customer support rep from ZAQ answered another question that you could use citrus oils in all of their diffusers. This is in direct opposition to what I received from the company when I puchased mine. I do love my Noor, though.

The ones I used were never in roll-on bottles. I only used drop of the oil to moisturize my face. Roll on would have been WAY to much.

I only use them in a microderm machine and I have never heard of using essential oils with them. Maybe if you are making a manual microderm solution

these bottles are slightly smaller then the ones i am used to using from school. you need to get used to handling them. but i think if you look you might find other brands to refill wax cartridges that will fit your rollers. and they should fit the rollers and cartridge wax refills if not, something is wrong. of course the lip and finger or face rollers are so slim you will only have to use the clean and easy brand to refill. hope that is what you wanted to know. but hey if you order them and they don't fit, please inform us cause we should like to know what they are doing. lol
