How to use - Roll On Bottle
-
Prepare Your Blend: Before using the roll-on bottle, prepare your desired blend of essential oils, perfumes, or other liquids. Use a dropper or a small funnel to carefully fill the bottle with your chosen mixture. Be mindful not to overfill the bottle to prevent spillage when inserting the roller ball.
-
Insert the Roller Ball: Once your blend is ready in the bottle, insert the stainless steel roller ball into the neck of the bottle. Ensure that the roller ball is securely in place to prevent leakage during use. You may need to press it firmly to snap it into position.
-
Prime the Roller Ball (Optional): If it's the first time you're using the bottle or if the roller ball hasn't been used for a while, you may need to prime it. To do this, gently roll the ball between your palms or on a clean surface for a few seconds. This helps ensure smooth and even distribution of the liquid when applying.
-
Roll On to Skin: Once the roller ball is primed and ready, hold the bottle in an upright position and apply gentle pressure to the roller ball with your thumb or index finger. Roll the ball directly onto the desired area of your skin, such as your wrists, temples, neck, or pulse points.
-
Massage and Enjoy: After applying the liquid to your skin, use your fingertips to gently massage the area, allowing the blend to absorb into your skin. This not only enhances the absorption of the oils but also promotes relaxation and well-being.
-
Adjust Pressure and Frequency: Depending on your preference and the viscosity of your blend, you can adjust the pressure applied to the roller ball for a lighter or firmer application. Experiment with different pressures and frequencies to find what works best for you.
-
Cap and Store: After each use, securely cap the roll-on bottle to prevent evaporation and preserve the freshness of your blend. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the oils and prolong their shelf life.
-
Clean and Refill: Regularly clean the roller ball and bottle with warm, soapy water to remove any residue and ensure hygienic usage. Once the bottle is empty or if you wish to change the blend, simply refill it with a new mixture and repeat the process.
1990s - where it all began
The Home Essentials adventure started in New Zealand in the 1990s, with a clear ambition: to bring simple, trustworthy everyday products and traditional household remedies into Kiwis' everyday lives.
At a time when families wanted reliable, no-fuss solutions they could trust, Home Essentials was there, on the shelf, ready when it mattered most.
2010s - Growing with kiwi families
As New Zealand families evolved, so did we.
In 2014, Home Essentials introduced a refreshed look with updated packaging, reflecting our continued commitment to quality and trusted care.
The products remained the same ones parents and grandparents had relied on for years, now presented with a cleaner, clearer look for a new generation.

2020s - A new chapter, the same values
In 2023, Home Essentials unveiled an apothecary-inspired redesign and expanded internationally, growing its range to meet the needs of modern Kiwi families.
Alongside its classic staples, Home Essentials introduced ingredients that kiwis are actively now looking to weave into their everyday routines. From soothing Aloe Vera, to skin-loving Vitamin E, and innovative Hypochlorous Acid, we have broaden the range, only building on the same honest values.
