Cheapest place to buy essential oils?

saveaholic68

I'm thinking of having a go at making my own soaps and bath bombs. Does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy essential oils is? They are selling small bottles for just under £2 inc P+P on ebay, but as I want a large selection of fragrances this could end up quite expensive. Is there anywhere I can get them cheaper on the high street?

Bear in mind that cheaper oils might be a lower % of the actual oil.

Zipvit and Simply Supplements do a range of aromatherapy oils that seem cheap but I've no idea of the quality.


SAVERS on the high street also have a few quite cheap but again I'm not guaranteeing the strength.

If you were going to invest in quite a few (more than £40's worth) it looks like this would be a good place to buy them wholesale price. (this is not a personal recommendation I've just looked at the website)

All aromotherapy oils are half price at Holland and Barrett at the moment, the offer is on until 8 November.

Thanks everyone. I have purchased one bottle from Ebay and am going to try making bath bombs as soon as I get a bit of spare time. If they come out well I will try your suggestions when purchasing more oil

There is huge variation in price and quality in essential oils. Someone I know who has a business that uses a lot of them buys different oils from different suppliers.

You need to use your nose really. I would only buy an oil once you know what it smells like. I wouldn't buy on Ebay until you really know what you are doing.

My advice would be to find a shop somewhere near you where they have their own products made and see if you can get friendly with them. They might be willing to sell you essential oils.

I get mine in bulk from snowlotus (dot) org they are 100% pure organic essential oils. You can also get them at wholesale it all depends how much you need but they are top quality.

Hi, I always buy my essential oils from Just Aromatherapy, they have a website justaromatherapy,co.uk or just google them. They have a really big range of essential oils and aromatherapy products, and i have used them for about two years now. Thanks
