As a small business owner and crafter of my own skin and body care line I often have people starting out in the business asking me where to get supplies. Many of you are using essential oils more and more and as I have posted previously it is so important to make sure you are getting the highest quality essential oils with the correct information on how to use these oils. So here is a review of some of my favorite suppliers:
Appalachian Valley Natural Products for essential oil. I have been using this source for years. They have a large assortment of oils at a very affordable price. The quality is excellent with good customer service. www.av-at.com
Nature's Gift for essential oils and other supplies. I found Nature's Gift when AVNP was out of some oils I needed right away. They have a wider variety of oils especially absolutes for making perfumes. They are a little more expensive but the quality is excellent and a broader selection. Marge Clark the owner is a wealth of knowledge on essential oils and there use and her website reflects this. She is also very willing to share her knowledge and replies to all inquiries in a timely manner. www.naturesgift.com
It is very very important to label all your supplies and products even if they are for home use. There is nothing worse then forgetting what you put in a particular jar or bottle. Even more important is knowing when you made that product. Of course if you are going to sell your products you must have all the appropriate information on the label that the FDA requires. If you are making your own labels there is no better place to purchase your labels than from OnlineLabels.com. I have been purchasing my labels from them for quite a few years now. You will not get better customer service anywhere. There assortment is vast whether you need labels for an inkjet or laser printer, waterproof or plain labels, they even have colored labels and different shape labels. If you are unsure they are happy to send you samples. www.onlinelabels.com
And last but not least you need a supplier for your jars and bottles. For those of you who do not want to buy in bulk but need wholesale pricing I highly recommend Sunburst Bottles. www.sunburstbottle.com.
I hope these suggestions help. Happy crafting.
