Where Do You Get Your EO's, dried flowers, random oils?!
So I am in the market for all sorts of Oils and EO's. Unfortunately, I don't have a "Whole Foods" or "Trader Joes" etc. near me
![]() I have to buy them online or succumb to buying from WalMart and I just get a yucky feeling when I buy from WalMart ![]() I am looking for Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E, Dried Calendula, Dried Chamomile, Raw Coconut oil (perhaps a few more, I am just tired and can't remember what else )I have looked on Amazon.com but I have read a lot of reviews of people saying that even products labeled "organic" are not (after phone calls to the company). I make and sell locally (soon to be on my HC too) lip balm and deodorant. I feel I am doing a disservice to my customers if I don't offer them the highest possible quality. After all they want to go GREEN not sorta kinda greenish. I don't mind paying a little more if they are ACTUALLY high quality products. Sorry this is so long, I have been looking all over the internet for some products and I just can't find anyone who is 'true'. Could you ladies lend me a helping hand?

Don't feel bad. I'm in southern California where those "green" chain stores are everywhere and I don't even get my oils from them. Whole Foods is over priced and Trader Joes only carries poor quality tea tree oil. I get my soap making supplies online. I buy organic essential oils from Bramble Berry (none currently available) and From Nature With Love.

I get all of mine from a coop on Yahoo. They usually have the best prices, even with the coop fees. Only problem is they only run the buys 2-3 times per year, since minimums are so high, so you really have to plan ahead.

Re: Where Do You Get Your EO's, dried flowers, random oils?!
I like young living. but have heard about doTerra also. The oils you buy cheap (walmart, health food chains, etc.) are usually diluted with water or alcohol so you get what you pay for. Also, I read that the better companies, for example, distill one oil 26 hours compared to the cheapo companies distilling the oil for 3 hours. If the entire process isn't completed (lengthier distilling times), then the hundreds of properties in ONE single oil will mostly be GONE. I try to research it well, especially when you are looking at oils to improve health.
I'm anxious to see some others, though |
