Buying Oils

[demonique]

So... Where does everyone like to buy their oils? Do you like to buy pure essential oils - or pre-mixed blends? What's your favorite brands? Best prices on the internet? :) Thanks!

The type of oil you buy depends on what you're planning on doing with it. I use fragrance oils when I make soaps or bath salts, unless they are ritual bath salts, and then I use essential oils. I use essential oils for candle dressing and other types of annointing. I buy my oils from our shoppe and we do offer them for sale. You need to be careful buying essentials online,..it's tough without being able to see and smell an oil. You can't tell the quality of what you're buying. Get referrals from places that folks you know have had good luck.

Yeah. That's what I'm trying to do. :) I have no choice but to buy online. There is nowhere near here to buy them. I'm not looking for fragrence oils - essential and ritual oil blends are what I'm seeking! :) Thanks!

Well I just found a little tea and herb co. shop and she sells essential oils and absoluts...so that's where I'm going to start buying mine. They vary in price depending on the type of oil I think the cheapest one is like $4-5 and the most expensive I think was $75...but that was for like rose. She also said she sells them to some people by the drop. I prefer buying pure essentail oils and making my own blends. I don't know if I like any specific brand...and I've never looked on the internet for oils.

I buy my mine at Natural food store or the Witchery or the Bee Hive. I like to just buy the oils and do my own mixing. I've found Essintial Nature to be a decent band.
