I would do a search for soapmaking supplies, as most of the sites sell a variety of essential oils. Just be careful you get essential oil, not a fragrance oil. Fragrance oils can cause your soap to "seize", ruining it. Some of the websites that come to mind are Majestic Mountain, Lavender Lane, amd Millers' Homemade Soap Page--sorry, I don't know addresses, just do a search, they are all easy to find.

Hi Steve, you might try Lorann Oils, 1-888-456-7266, www.lorannoils.com , they have about every essential oil produced, and their prices are the best of all suppliers. Request the wholesale catalog, not the retail one, much cheaper! Annie in SE OH.
