Where can I get essential oils?

Question

I heard that you can get essential oils at the dollar store, but does that mean the quality of the oil is bad? I am trying to make a homemade disinfectant spray. The essential oils are suppose to kill germs.

Are oils expensive? I don't want to end up spending a lot of money for oils just to make one bottle of disinfectant.

Where can I buy inexpensive essential oils (tea tree, thyme, lemon, lavander)?

-In Toronto, Ontario if possible.

Answer 1

i dunno if i would ever buy anything from dollar stores. usually theres a reason as to why their stuff is so cheap. i know with candy its because they get all the old, stale candy. i guess im bent on that motto 'you get what you pay for'. i do know of a place that has quality essential oils, so maybe this will help.

Answer 2

The dollar shop the quality is about the same and they are much cheaper

Answer 3

Check at a Health Food Store, if you have one.  Otherwise, one excellent company online is Young Living.  

My guess is that Dollar Tree ones aren't very potent, but you could always try them and see.  

Hope this helps.
