ESSENTIAL OILS

Shay and Company works diligently to source the highest quality natural and organic essential oils, only sourcing from farmers and distillers with proven, high-quality experience. We choose USA-grown essential oils where we can, and we always opt for non-GMO sources when possible.

We have an extensive list of wholesale essential oils that can be used in any of your products. Each listing will give you the flash point, the plant part used, extraction method, and the IFRA if one is available from the distiller.

Essential oils are pure plant distilled or cold processed oils. All our wholesale essential oils are 100% pure, therapeutic grade, and never blended with any carrier oils, preservatives, phthalates, or synthetics.
A note about essential oils in candles- not all essential oils burn and smell like you want them to when used in candles. You will need to experiment with your essential oils to see how they perform. General rule of thumb is all trees and grasses (think cedar and lemongrass) will perform well in candles; citrus essential oils generally do not; flowers are usually pretty expensive so not sure you want to set them on fire. When creating your candle blend, you can mix both essential oils and fragrances together to create your custom scent, so get crafty!

Essential oils are meant to be added to products or diluted in carrier oils or butters before applying to the skin. Many essential oils are too concentrated and will burn or damage skin if applied directly. We are not aromatherapists here, so please understand that we cannot guide you on how to dilute the oils. We do offer a wide variety of organic and natural carrier oils and butters that would blend perfectly with any of our essential oils.

You can feel confident in the quality of ingredients for your products!

All our wholesale essential oils come in 0.5-ounce amber glass bottles, 1-ounce amber glass bottles with droppers, 4-ounce amber glass bottles, 8-ounce amber glass bottles, 16-ounce amber glass bottles, 5-pound jugs, 10-pound jugs, and 25-pound cans. 25-pound bulk essential oil orders may take longer to ship, depending on current inventory.

Choosing the right ingredient

The questions our customers ask before their first bulk order.

What's the difference between virgin, refined and cold-pressed?

Cold-pressed and virgin oils keep more of the plant's colour, scent and unsaponifiables, which makes them the better choice for leave-on skin and hair products. Refined oils are filtered for a lighter colour, neutral scent and longer shelf life — the safer pick for soap, candles and anything you intend to scent yourself. Expeller-pressed sits between the two: mechanically pressed with no solvents, but heat is generated in the process.

Which oils should I start with for soap making?

Refined avocado, apricot kernel and babassu cover most cold-process recipes — a soft oil, a light conditioning oil and a hard oil for bar firmness. Babassu is our recommended palm alternative.

Do you supply certificates of analysis and lot traceability?

Yes. Every shipment lists its lot number on the invoice, and a COA — plus a GC/MS report where applicable — is available on request for any lot. Our USDA Organic handler certificate is renewed annually and linked in the footer.

How do I order 55-gallon drums or pallets?

Drums and pallet quantities are quoted directly so freight can be priced properly. Call (503) 653-1155 or email us with the ingredient, the quantity and your delivery ZIP, and we will come back within one business day.

Can I get samples before committing to bulk?

Almost everything is stocked in a 4 oz size for exactly this reason. Order the small size, test your formula, then scale to gallons or drums — on the same lot wherever stock allows.
