Great, reliable products for my massage business.

I've been buying the pre blended aromatherapy massage oils for over a year to use in my massage business - recommended by my tutor.
My clients love the choice of blends and aromas. The bottles are neat and easy to keep clean and I purchased pumps for greater ease.
Buying is easy, delivery is always quick and the products are always safely packaged.
Highly recommend!

Quality Products & Great Service

I have been purchasing my essential oils from Base Formula for a number of years following an introduction from my aromatherapist friend.
The website is informative and easy to use. I particularly enjoy reading information about the oils and find the blogs very interesting and helpful.
Base Formula offer quality products, great service and I appreciate the seasonal discounts and free gift.
Many thanks.

Rosehip carrier oil is the same colour as Grapeseed and Argan carriers.

Products are not lab verified.

Dear Jo

Please rest assured that our products are 100% pure and genuine. We have checked the batch number on the Rosehip you received and will email you the Certificate of Analysis. These are always available on request.

Regarding the colour you should know that oils can naturally vary from batch to batch for a number of reasons including growing conditions, weather, soil type etc etc.

As you will see from our 'many' 5 star reviews the quality of our oils is never normally questioned, so we hope that we have now put your mind at rest.

“The packaging was damaged

“The packaging was damaged. None of the gels had any plastic foam around them, so many were ruined during transportation and leaked everywhere.”

Dear Feina

We are so sorry that your order arrived damaged. As it's an international order it is extremely hard for us to control how the box is treated by overseas shippers and customs. We will contact you directly via email to discuss this further.

Apologies
