I live in WI, we don't have any local suppliers unless you consider wallyworld or Whole Foods a supplier! I used to get a lot of stuff from a place in Washington State and a place called Southern Soapers. Haven't even looked yet for those folks! I'm still trying to find the cooktop that I use! I finally opened the box where my scale was, I am almost there. Can hardly wait to start again.
Anyone know of any good wholesale supplier for essential oils?

I wonder how many people actually re-bottle. I don't.
I certainly do not rebottle, unless a bottle starts to deteriorate. As for cleaning glass bottles, large grain salt and hot water works the best, by shaking the salt grains around in the bottle to knock loose the oils.
I use Camden-Gray as well. Good price, great essential Oils and fragrance oils. I also like them because they are local for me!

My last order from New directions was in aluminum. Maybe we should keep our dark bottles in the future.? Our world is changing every day.

I really love Camden Gray too, but this past year I've noticed their EO to filler oil ratio has gone up. I'd rather they'd kept the same ratio and made the bottles smaller. What I mean is this: there used to be some "Filler" along with the EO in each bottle, but now it's more filler per ounce. Still, best that I have found in the USA.
Sounds like your getting excited again
. I'm moving back to Texas in 3 weeks so I've been trying to find supplier locally just in case but I get iffy when I cant find any review. Majority of the supplier I've found are on the east and west.@Chrissy Murphy keeping our old bottles would be best. I wish I had known that company's stop putting their EO in the proper bottle. Its a shame and we are paying so much for these oils.

I buy from Lebermuth or The Perfumery. Both are excellent and reputable companies.
I'd love to order from Lebermuth, but cannot justify the $500 minimum order.
Two soapers in another thread (titled Frankincense and Myrrh, I think?) were hoping to find a few people to go in on an order together since they cannot meet the minimum either. If you regularly place orders from there, they'd probably be glad to pay a bit of a premium if you were willing to order with them.
@The Park Bench Today I actually found the perfumery. I was trying to see their prices and couldn't because I needed to apply for an account. Plus, there is a minimum of $500 dollar purchase. Which, is bonkers because I'm just starting out so spending that much is kind of not smart. I was just about create a forums to ask if anyone knows about them but luckily this threads answers all my questions without having to post. I'm going to check them out but probably not ordering that much much for now but if they sell other stuff I wouldnt mind spending 500. Since m, I would be spending around that much to order in bulk.
There are lots and lots of brown glass bottles on Amazon and Uline. I bought a dozen from Amazon a few years ago and I just wash and re-use. They are not expensive, and even if you crack a lid, you can buy replacements.

I buy my oils at av-at.com. I’m an aromatherapist so using for therapeutic use rather than fragrant ingredients. I also end up paying through the nose for shipping unfortunately as I live in New Zealand. I can certainly see why so many people use fragrances, rather than essential oils in soaps and I hate admitting that being a staunch essential oil fan, lol

I've had good luck with Green Health (wfmed), Nature's Garden and New Directions Aromatics. WFMed has great prices and extremely fast shipping. Be sure to check the reviews, I really didn't like a few, including Rosemary. For lavender, fir needle, tea tree and eucalyptus they are my go to. Nature's Garden has a surprisingly large and well-priced selection of essential oils and I've been extremely happy with all of them. And, woot woot, I found 5x orange essential oil, which I can't find from other suppliers (worldwide shortage). NDA is always reliable but there's a $100 minimum order.
I only make CP salt soap for right now, in love with well-cured salt soap.
Whatever you do, I HIGHLY discourage NOW Foods in CP soap. Every single one I've tried has caused my soap to rice or worse, have had to throw out too many batches. I reserve their oils I have left for salves, emulsified sugar scrubs and anything else besides soap. Hope this is helpful!

Hello manorgrove.
Living in Europe, years ago I used to buy EO from an English company called the Pennine collection that later closed down and sold the business to another company called E-essentials.
Are you the same people?
Sorry to ask.
