Base Oil Suppliers

[kid_of_the_k-hole]

Hello lovely HP people,
Back again with another newbie enquiry. This forum really does feel the safest forum generally for asking stupid questions, or inadvertently repeating age-old forum threads - I thank you all for creating that space

I hope I'm not going over old ground, and also hope that in asking this question it might help create a useful thread for people doing similar research. After all, good value suppliers change all the time and in the current economic climate, those that might have been the best value this time last year might have hiked up their prices, and newer companies might have come on to the scene.

After having spent all day researching the best value massage couch covers, instead of revising my A&P, I decided I'd enquire after your valuable opinions regarding the best suppliers of base oils online. You might have a favourite supplier, know of one that is both high quality and affordable for a new starter, or have some insight into the benefits of different suppliers.... I am particularly interested in buying Grapeseed and Sweet Almond, and at a later date might need to invest in some good essential oils (Kobashi are local to me, so I might use them for essential oils). I'm keen on organic oils but also need something quite economic...

I hope you can help.
Thank you so much for your time.
Danu xx

Hi Strent78

I buy all my essential oils from Alan Howell @ www.shechina.co.uk you'll find all you need in the way of base oils and they're all very reasonably priced.

Cheers, Sue

Thank you Sue, they do look to be very good prices. I've just (before your reply) placed an order with New Directions, who seemed to be the cheapest inc delivery for Grapeseed Oil. I think over the next few months I will try different suppliers and see which oils clients prefer and feel the best.
Many thanks for your response, I will definitely give Alan Howell a try.
Best
Danu
