I am definitely starting to get sick of winter and CAN NOT wait for the warmer weather that springtime will bring. Every year I feel as if winter will never end, but sure enough, it does, and a fresh lemon lavender peppermint roller is one of the first ways I welcome it in.
And with spring comes open windows, fresh air, and that itch to freshen up the whole house. This bright blend is one of my favorite ways to do it. It’s clean, citrusy, and just a little minty, exactly the kind of fresh I want when the windows finally open again.
I love keeping it on my desk and rolling a little on whenever I need a quick pick-me-up.

How to Make a Lemon Lavender Peppermint Roller
This one could not be easier to whip up.
Ingredients:
- 7 drops lemon essential oil
- 7 drops lavender essential oil
- 6 drops peppermint essential oil
- Fractionated coconut oil (You can find it here.)
- 10 mL roller bottle (These are the ones I use.)
Instructions:
- Add the lemon, lavender, and peppermint to the roller bottle.
- Fill the rest of the way with fractionated coconut oil and secure the rollerball top.
- Shake well.
- Roll onto your wrists, chest, or the back of your neck whenever you want a little fresh pick-me-up.
About the Oils
- Lemon: Bright, clean, and cheerful. Lemon is the scent that makes a whole room feel freshly wiped down.
- Lavender: Soft and floral, it rounds out the citrus and mint with a calming note.
- Peppermint: Cool and crisp. A little goes a long way here, and it keeps the whole blend bright and fresh.
Other Ways to Use This Blend
Don’t feel like making a roller? Here are a couple more ways to enjoy lemon, lavender, and peppermint together.
In the diffuser: Add 3 drops of each oil to your diffuser. It’s lovely first thing in the morning or anytime you’re puttering around the house.
On a cotton ball: Add a drop of each to a cotton ball or tissue and breathe in the fresh scent, or just inhale straight from the bottle.
A Relaxing Spring Bath Soak
For a spa-like treat, stir together 1/2 tablespoon of Epsom salt, 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt, and 3 drops each of lemon, lavender, and peppermint. Pour it into a warm bath and soak for at least 20 minutes. It’s so relaxing after a long day.
Variations
This blend is a great starting point, and lots of people make it their own. I haven’t tried all of these, but here’s what folks like to do:
- Add a drop or two of wild orange or bergamot for even more bright citrus.
- Swap in a little eucalyptus for a fresh, spa-like feel.
- Add cedarwood if you like a woodsy note underneath the citrus.
Expert Tips
- Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to your skin.
- Lemon is a citrus oil and can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so skip the sunshine right after you apply.
- Give the roller a good shake before each use.
- Store your oils out of reach of children.
A Few Safety Tips
- Dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
- Do a patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
- Citrus oils are photosensitive; avoid direct sun on freshly applied skin.
- For external use only, and keep oils out of reach of children.

I love this blend- but I am curioius about the ratio of 30 drops total of eo’s for a 10 ml roller bottle – I have been told no more than 15 drops ?
You can cut the oils in half if you prefer. 🙂
Can I use EVOO instead of coconut oil for this recipe?
Yes! Any carrier oil will work.
I saw in another post of yours that EVOO is your least favorite carrier oil… I wonder what is your favorite alternative to fractionated coconut oil? My son is allergic to coconut so I can’t use it for oil blends. What’s your suggestion for a carrier oil especially for oil blends for kids?
Jojoba oil and sweet almond oil
I use jojoba oil and hemp seed oil as an alternative carrier oil because I am also allergic to coconut oil. I found out when I cooked Broccoli Steak with cashews in coconut oil.
Yes, any carrier oil will work for a roller bottle.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Unfortunately, I’ve already put 4 drops each of doTERRA Lemon, Lavender & Peppermint essential oil in a veggie capsule and swallowed it with water. The pollen count was so high today and it was really affecting my eyes even though I’ve already flushed them out with a Silver Solution. Will I overdo my system having taken a total of 12 drops in the veggie capsule? I’ve only taken one. Would you know what the daily limit of essential oils for internal consumption?
I would appreciate your input.
From here on out I will definitely put only 2 drops each oil.
I would take about 2-3 pills a day with 1-2 drops of each oil.
I think it’s so awesome that there is a safe, natural way to relieve allergies! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
