What's your favourite essential oil? Do you have a favourite brand or retailer that you get your oils from? Let us know below!
My favorite essential oil is lavender. I typically buy the Aura Cacia brand. I buy it at the Bulk Barn with one of their $3 off coupons. That is also where I buy my tea tree oil, lemon and peppermint. I signed up with DoTerra and naturally have some of their oils but they're very expensive so I rarely purchase them, although they are my favorite in terms of quality. I love the Now eucalyptus essential oil that I purchased at a local health food store. its a big bottle and inexpensive which is great because I diffuse it often when my kids have a cold and have difficulty breathing at night. Seems to work well, but the brand that i want to try next is Plant Therapy. I have heard great things about their oils and for the apparent quality, the price seems quite reasonable.
Saffire Blue by far! Lavendar essential oil for 30ml is just under $6.... Way cheaper than the places you listed! Plus they are a Canadian company. I have a cupboard full of their oils that I use all the time.
I just checked out their site and its amazing for so many things. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! I love their website - I bought a bunch of stuff to try making soap and candles for Christmas gifts - as well as a load of essential oils for myself!
No doubt! Thanks for the head's up Breanne! Will add this right now -- also got a tip on Piping Rock, which I just added -- they're running a BOGO free sale on essential oils right now too.
I buy my e.o.'s from Nascent Naturals, a Canadian company. My favourite oil is neroli. When I first started out in aromatherapy I bought Aura Cacia but no more. I took a course from Plant Therapy and still have a few of their oils. The difference in the brands is about quality. With a better oil you get better results, it is more therapeutic and the less you will use.
Wiill take a look! Thanks for the recommendation Bellringer!
I've bought from saffireblue before, but you have to spend $75 or they charge you an extra $25. I use mainly Now oils. I find they are really nice and aren't too expensive. I use them on my skin, and for bath bombs. I get my recipes from https://essentialskinoils.com ;
