was wanting some cedarwood for a cedarwood tea tree mix. this one on amazon seems good price, but few reviews, has anyone tried the Sun Organic brand?

Howdy and welcome!

I would recommend buying from a soaping supply store as the quality is typically better/more consistent and the cost is less. There are lots of stores. I have bought EOs from: Nature's Garden, Wholesale Supplies Plus, Brambleberry, and Mad Oils. I've heard good things about New Directions, Campden Grey, Majestic Mountain Sage and Aroma Haven/Rustic Escentuals. I'm sure there are other suppliers folks like better out there. I just have those on my list...

Thank you snappyllama! I will go check these out. Im just on my first few batches, I love this forum,have been reading for weeks, so much member support and great info here.Not to mention,books,videos, any info that I can find for weeks, LOL. No local soapers to talk to close to me that I can find. I am already so addicted to this soap making!! Love Love It!!

I like Camden Grey, Eden Botanicals, Nature's Garden and Save On Scents for variety and reasonable prices.

I use Camden Grey and New Directions Aromatics for my EOs. CG is my usual supplier unless I need a large amount because of the smaller minimum order requirement.

Hi Soapers I want to ask if anyone have opinion about young living ( YL ) essential oil? As they claim that their EO has a high quality?

 

[cmzaha]

I love Liberty Naturals Cedar Leaf Western Red Canada but it is a bit pricey. I also like their Cedarwood Virginia
Young Living is a joke and in big trouble with FDA for their claims along with Doterra. They are also a rip off with their prices

 

[snappyllama]

I agree about YL and Doterra. Even if their EOs were better than what I can get from reputable suppliers (they aren't) and a fraction of the cost (they are insanely over-priced), those companies will never get a dollar of mine. Their practice of allowing their representatives to make wildly unsubstantiated claims that endanger people is repugnant.

That's what I think about them their frankincense cost £45 here in UK meanwhile I can get them £6 in new directions aromatics

I know this is an old post but it references Cedarwood essential oil and cmzaha mentioned loving Liberty Naturals Western Red Cedarwood. I too love this scent and want to use it in my cold process soap but Im unsure about its safety. Does anyone know? I know it has some warnings but maybe its ok to use in soap?

Thank you!
