Carrier Oils, Beeswax and Essential Oils
Numerous online sites offer a wide range of oils, butters, beeswax, essential oils and other equipment and supplies used for various crafts including herbalism, soap making and candle making. Even with shipping costs factored in, you’ll usually save money buying online when it comes to items like almond oil, beeswax, shea butter and other supplies not typically found at retail stores. Some of these sellers also offer dried herbs so you can sometimes get many of your supplies at the same site.
