Labels for Essential Oil bottles are a must for anyone making their own essential oil blends. These are waterproof and oil proof. Use an indelible marker or run them through your ink-jet printer. For 5ml bottles and larger. (Or for personal temporary labels, the Phomemo label printer is great!)
The 10ml Roll-On Bottles from Viviplex have stainless steel balls which I much prefer over a plastic ball. They come in Amber, Green, and Blue glass.
10ml Atomizers are perfect for on the go aromatherapy. We often combine hydrosols for different intentions while traveling and these are great for that! I also use them for portable “Before You Go-Go” sprays for the entire family.
Treatment Pump Bottles from Juvitus are probably my most used bottles for lotions, body oils, and massage oils. The glass type come in 1oz and 2oz sizes and in Amber, Green, Blue, Clear, and Frosted. I use the PET Plastic for travel.
Swing Top Glass Bottles are perfect for syrups (think Elderberry and other handcrafted syrups) and herbal vinegars. The come in a variety of sizes.
Clear Glass Bottles are my preference for storing glycerites. I choose 4oz clear glass so that I can watch for any change in color or transparency.

Air Still for handcrafted hydrosols. Makes it so easy to distill your own!
A Reusable Coffee Filter is an excellent for fine filtering of glycerites to create a beautiful “clear” product, free from any debris. Best feature is it can be sanitized.
An Immersion Blender is key to crafting a beautiful whipped butter or emulsified cream. I use both the stick and whip attachments regularly.
The Mini Electric Whisk from Zulay is my favorite for whipping up a small batch of lotion or cream. Oh, and I also have one for frothing milk or cream for my tea and coffee. About a zillion color options available! And this is great for gift giving, too!
Phomemo Label Printer for on the spot custom label printing! Bluetooth access with Android and iOS. Use the free app to design clearly printed labels. Short-term water and oil proof labels perfect for the Aromatherapist or Herbalist!
Digital Kitchen Scale for baking and measuring herbs and ingredients for larger batches of skin care formulations. Measures 1g to 5100g.
A Digital Jewelers Scale is what I use for measuring ingredients in small amounts. Measures 0.05g to 500g.
Narrow Silicone Spatulas with long handles are useful for scraping down beakers and holding back herbs when filtering. I love that they are all one piece (no crevices for debris to build up) and completely sanitizable.
Silicone Collapsible Funnels are great for reducing spillage when filling bottles. I love that they collapse so that I can easily store them in a drawer or bin.
The Frigidare Bread Maker. Yep, I know it doesn’t seem fit in with the theme here, but the smell of baking bread is aromatherapy in itself! A bread maker makes accessing this comforting aroma super easy and is definitely one of my Amazon Favorites!
