You can certainly diffuse them if you want to. 

However, I am using them on my skin. They are already mixed together in a spray.

EO's are really not so great for skin especially long term and in high percentage.

Again not all oils are created equally. I would not trust another brand of oils except for young living as they can not guarantee where the oils came from or what is truly in them. As for using a pure 100% oil on your skin, you most certainly can. I use them daily on my whole family and we are all healthier for it.

I don't understand your post, and what you are saying? Oils are very concentrated. You don't need a large amount to work with, as it is. When you use them on your skin, they are mixed with a carrier oil.

Couple of questions....where can I buy rollerballs? Can I use Argan oil as a carrier oil? I see the comment about fractionated coconut oil, but isn't that hard?

Seedtoseal.com is all about how the plants are grown and distilled.

@Rachb roller balls can be bought lots of places. Amazon sells then, the vitamin shop, sprouts farmers market. Most health food stores carry the . Avoid plastic roller balls as citrus oils pull the toxins out of plastic. Metal is best. You can use argon oils. Fractionated coconut oil is always in a liquid state. Never gets hard.

I started using doTERRA essential oils in August and am loving them. I am now sharing/selling them to friends and family. Great for uplifting mood, imunne support, aches and pains. I am truely amazed. Love their supplements, vitamins. Great company! And like others have said not all essential oils are created equally. the grocery stores say, not for internal use. Most of doTERRAs oils can be used internally as well as topically & aromatically, because they are pure essential oils. (grocery stores oils say they are 100% pure, but they are NOT, if they were pure, you could ingest them)

@Rachb, Unlike regular coconut oil, FCO is not solid at 76 degrees.  The long chain fatty acid molecules have been removed.  Following is a link that sums it pretty well.  They are, however, incorrect in stating it will not go rancid.  It will.  It just has a much longer shelf life.

Which EO would you recommend to ingest and for what benefit?  

How can "pure" be determined exactly?  Doesn't the FDA require proper INCI names be listed on EO's?  If my EO states Anthemis nobilis and only Anthemis nobilis how can that not contain only Roman Chamomile?  I think the IRFA has a similar requirement.  I hear they are really sticklers.  Not sure I'd want to explain myself to either group if I was not disclosing all ingredients.  Not to mention some of the EO review sites.  Have you read about the co. that did, in fact, mistake their Blue Tansy?  Some of the EO review groups take random co. samples of random EOs and send them to labs.  It's the kiss of death to a supplier if one comes back misrepresented within the EO community.
