Buying essential oils wholesale - Money saving tips!

Buying essential oils wholesale can be a good way to get large quantities of high quality oils at trade prices.  Aromatherapists source their therapeutic essential oils from selected wholesale aromatherapy suppliers, to ensure the purity and quality of their oils.  Buying from wholesalers can be economical and cost effective if large volumes of oils are going to be used regularly.  However, in aromatherpy only tiny amounts of oils are needed each time, so often a regular 10ml bottle can be sufficient and will last for many weeks.  Plant essences are free from chemical preservatives and must be stored in a cool, dark place.   Even then, they don't have a particularly long shelf life.

When buying essential oils wholesale it's worth only buying bulk lots of the oils that will be used often, to avoid them turning rancid and going to waste.  Widely available bulk essential oils include those that have multiple uses, such as lavender, peppermint and tea tree.  The citrus oils such as lemon and orange tend to be the cheapest, but should generally be used within a few months to prevent them oxidizing, which can cause them to irritate sensitive skin.  The most expensive oils are those that are harder to extract, including neroli, jasmine and rose oil.

In addition to bulk discounts on pure essential oils, wholesalers often stock a range of other aromatherapy supplies that can be purchased in large amounts.  Aromatherapists often buy their carrier oils wholesale as these have many uses in massage oils and skin care products.  Empty bottles can be bought to mix up homemade essential oil blends, and scented candles, oil burners and other types of diffusers can be bought wholesale.  This can be a useful way to buy gifts to sell on.  The internet can be a great place to find oils and other accessories at wholesale prices.
