Where do you get your essential oils?

Cherokee-n-Black · Jun 15, 2011

I see a lot about adding them to stuff like veggie glycerin + water and other products. I'd like to add a couple to some stuff I'm using/trying, but can't tell where to find them....not sure if online sources are reliable, pricing fairly, etc...where do you go?

Amazon has erythang! and you can compare pricing.

www.mountainroseherbs.com is an awesome source of just about any oils.

Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, Wegmans...also sell essential oils.

I used to get a majority of my oils from Whole Foods.

ms.tatiana · Jun 15, 2011

GNC has a lot of the oils.

KaramelKutie803 · Jun 15, 2011

Yep, that's where I got mine. I was looking for ACV and was pleasantly surprised.

There's a health food store in my area where I get my ACV and essential oils.

Prudent1 · Jun 15, 2011

GNC really?? The one's I've frequented have not sold EO :nono:

? I always have to go to local HFS, Whole Foods, and as a last resort, internet sources like amazon or mountain rose herbs. :yep:

Thanks goodness for local HFSs!!

Yep, I was really surprised. I did notice the selection varies by store. I found lavender, jojoba, apricot, avocado, and ylangylang oil at one and just lavender at another.

Skiggle · Jun 16, 2011

iherb.com.... fasting shipping too..

I swear, and NYC ladies correct me if I'm wrong, but NONE of the GNC's or Vitamin Shoppe's ever seem to have what people tell me you can get there. Granted, the stores are about the size of my living room, but I don't think the ones in the city have the same inventory. I'm going to check Whole Foods and the online resources people mentioned. I like to stick with tried and true (most of the time). Thanks ladies!

Ebay, vitacost.com, iherb.com, mountainroseherbs.com, Vitamin Shoppe stores, Whole Foods, and just do a search on Yahoo or Google for "buy essential oils"...more sites will come up than you can possibly use!

My Ayurvedic oils and herbs I've started directly buying from Indian sellers and India...the mark-up is not there like many U.S.-based companies importing and reselling have. I will also be trying some Chinese Traditional Medicine products...buy from sites that sell directly from China--it will be cheaper!

Yea, GNC can really be hit or miss. The one by Target in Staten Island is the one with the essential oils. So if you already live in SI it's great. But definitely not worth the $13 toll :nono:

Ebay and pippingrock.com... I've only ordered from ebay so far but I think I'm going to start with Pipping Rock too.

krissyhair · Apr 1, 2015

I get them from a regular grocery store. It has a section for organic skin care.

Where do you get your essential oils?
