Guide to Finding Wholesale Bulk Essential Oils

Everybody wants less stress in their lives. It’s not always easy to achieve, but luckily there are products out there that make it possible. Essential oils and aromatherapy are exceptionally popular for this very reason: they help people relax and stay calm.

If you’re a retailer looking for the best aromatherapy products to offer in your online store, then be sure to read this guide for finding bulk essential oils. We’ll also be discussing the different ways you can sell essential oils online as well as some of the best products you can stock in your e-commerce store.

How Can I Sell Essential Oils Online?

Essential oils are a popular product with online shoppers. If you choose the right ones and stock your online store with in-demand inventory, then you’ll have an excellent chance of turning a good profit. That being said, there’s more than one way to get wholesale essentials oils to sell online:

1. Dropshipping – This e-commerce business model means that the retailer does not handle the storing, packing, or shipping of the inventory. Instead, the dropshipping supplier handles these logistics and ships the item to the end consumer. As a result, dropshipping has some strong advantages, including the fact that you save money on not having to store inventory and your risks are lower.
2. Buying bulk essential oils from a wholesaler – You can go to a supplier or wholesaler and buy essential oils in bulk; you just have to store them in a warehouse or storage space. In some ways, essential oils are easier to store than other products because they’re small and it’s possible to store them without having to get a full-size warehouse. However, essential oils are oil-based and the fragrances are delicate and easily spoiled, so you’ll need to get a storage space that’s climate-controlled.
3. Amazon FBA – This stands for Fulfillment by Amazon. Basically, Amazon stores and ships your inventory from its fulfillment centers. This means that you can benefit from Amazon’s strong brand recognition and consumer loyalty. Plus, some suppliers/wholesalers also offer FBA prep services.

As you can see, you have a few different options. However, you could also choose a supplier that allows you to do all three. For instance, GreenDropShip has an inventory of over 20,000 natural and organic products while operating as a dropshipping supplier and allowing you to buy bulk essential oils. Finally, we also offer Amazon FBA prep services at no extra cost to our members.

How To Buy Essential Oils in Bulk

Now that we’ve discussed the different ways you can sell essential oils, and the relative benefits of each, let’s discuss how to buy the best wholesale essential oils.

1. Do your research on the bestselling essential oils – Remember, as an online retailer, you want to always choose popular products that have high demand. Check out the different types of essential oils from the Essential Oils Directory. Plus, you can use free tools like Google Trends, Trend Hunter, or Jungle Scout to do market research on a given product.
2. Choose a supplier with the best wholesale prices – This may seem obvious, but it’s important that you get the best price for your bulk essential oils. However, you can also choose to use the dropshipping model, in which case you’ll want to use a dropshipping supplier that has no minimum order quantity (like GreenDropShip). This means that you only have to buy for each product that you sell and you’ll never have a surplus of unsold merchandise.
3. Purchase bulk essential oils as bundles – This is another nifty trick for your dropshipping store! Essential oils frequently work well when combined together, and there are countless recipes online to create blends. In other words, you can market various blends to consumers that are created for specific purposes, such as relaxation, sleep, or achy muscles. Additionally, you can offer these blends with related products such as aroma diffusers or oil burners. This is an excellent way to turn a one-time visitor into a regular customer.

How to Find a Wholesale Essential Oils Supplier

Remember, you need to find the right essential oil supplier. It’s best if you choose one that offers multiple ways to sell the products online, including acting as your dropshipping supplier, allowing you to buy essential oils in bulk, or even Amazon FBA prep services.

That being said, let’s take a look at the best ways to purchase bulk essential oils:

1. Contact the manufacturer directly – This could be your first step, especially if you already know what brands you’d like to sell. These brands will likely be able to point you in the direction of certified wholesale suppliers. Popular essential oil brands include Aura Cacia, Everyone, or Desert Essence.
2. Use an online directory – These are a great resource as they provide a pre-screened list of dropshipping suppliers and wholesalers. The most popular ones include:
   • Wholesale Central – Go to the Health, Beauty & Wellness category and then to Wholesale Aromatherapy.
   • AromaWeb – This is a comprehensive resource for all things related to aromatherapy, including their Business Directory for wholesalers and suppliers.
   • SaleHoo – This directory has suppliers that sell everything, including Essential Oils and Aromatherapy.
   • TopTenWholesale – You will find suppliers in their “Wholesale Directory” under “Aromatherapy”.
3. Use GreenDropShip – We’re a supplier that offers both wholesale essential oils for purchase and dropshipping services. We also offer Amazon FBA prep services to our members.
