Well I still havent purchased my lye yet or my oils but I did get Rosemary Oil and Peppermint Oil (ment for lavender oh well). It was 1 fl. Oz. each for 4.99. It is made by NOW Personal Care its 100% Pure through Steam Distilation.

Is this a good product?
 
Wow - sounds great - but kinda on the expensive side I would say.

Regardless, it's always fun to get new EO/FO. Enjoy!

Considering its local and I don't have to pay for S&H I don't think it was too much for an ounce of each.
 
Hey there, yeah it is expensive but as you said it's local.
I did the same thing with my first purchase, and then started looking online and found that even with shipping I can save usually over 60 percent on my E/O's and F/O's among other products.
But for starting off with small quantities price doesn't matter so much.
Have fun with it.

Considering the size bottles I got what I spent was cheaper then them even without shipping. Now if I was ordering large amounts of each oil they would be cheaper. Of course you already stated this for small quantities. I will nee to find out what EO's I like and sell before I purchase large vollumes.

I kind of disagree with this.... sorry! ;) I like to buy high quality eo's and fragrances for my soaps because the lower quality can sometimes not be as strong (some companies dilute them) - meaning you have to use more anyway ($$$!). Also, with low quality eo's and fo's (for instance, fo's you buy from the dollar store, I've seen 'em) you never know what's really in them. You want to make sure you are using quality (and skin safe) grade oils so you don't have a reaction to them.

I never buy fos from cheap places, the ones from michaels are only good for mp, im just saying(i sell young living eos) that i dont use much of them cause they are for theraputic reasons and very exp, but i do agree that some places add other oils to there eos.
