Attention all UK and European oil lovers!

[Eryka]

After many months of searching, a website finally showed up that boasted an impressive list of oils and waxes. It is UK based so no import tax is charged! :cheese: It seemed America had the monopoly on the herbal oils department and I wasn't looking forward to customs charging an already expensive package. Now there's no need to fret!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Aromatic:

Let the enabling begin!:rockerdud

Thank you thank you thank you for finding this! I've had such a hard time finding coconut oil in this country.

That's odd because coconut oil is one of the most common, I would think. Perhaps its just mixed with a bunch of other stuff.

But yeah, awesome site. I predict in the next 3 or 4 days they are going to get a surge of orders. :D

[Unofficial_Rose]

Oh my goodness, you can make custom products!

That is so exciting. I might make something that smells of pineapple + coconut, e.g. add to the base lotion. Wow :D

So reasonable too. Think their shea is a very good price.

Um the link opens up a new window with this page :? that can't be right lol

Odd. The link works for a lot of people, apparently. Oh well.

www.aromantic.co.uk is the home. Then look in the long list and click on Vegetable Oils.

[Lady Verity]

Yeah, it was doing that for me too. I just copied the link.

I can't wait to get some coconut oil. Or should that be butter? Is there a difference?

[Eryka]

Yes there is a difference. Coconut butter still has the fatty acids, therefore is denser. Coconut oil has the fatty acids removed, just leaving the oil.

Ah thanks :) i'm quite dense at times :D

[Eryka]

No problem, but be warned. Massive amounts of dangerously good things to buy.

[kiora]

Thanks for sharing!

[Eryka]

Thanks for sharing!

No problem. Og du er så smuk!

[Lady Verity]

Eryka, thanks again so much for posting this. I just ordered a nice big hunk of coconut oil. :D

[brunette]

I've ordered from them in the past, lots of excellent stuff like Sea Silk and D-Panthenol to add to homemade products!
Postage is reasonable and they seem very reliable.

[kiora]

No problem. Og du er så smuk!

Thank you :o:)

[Bianca]

Oh my. I need some recipes. I wouldn't know what to buy :p
And I saw some danish here. Yay... I'm danish too.... :cheese:

[LutraLutra]

Thanks Eryka this looks great, you terrible enabler!

[Just_Isabel]

How cool!
I don't need to buy anything at the moment, but I bookmarked the website. Yay no more customs taxes! :cheese:

[jel]

Thanks for posting about this website!

Another UK-based supplier of a huge range of oils, butters and EOs (as well as other toiletry-making supplies) is The Soap Kitchen (http://www.thesoapkitchen.co.uk/). I've been using them for years.

[Eryka]

Thanks for the link!

Thank you Eryka :flowers:

Thank you Eryka :flowers:

even if I did order the wrong oil, I've just realised :rolleyes:

[Eryka]

Might wind up with something you like. Hope it works out.

[Loviatar]

This is awesome. I've been looking for coconut oil that actually smells of coconut for ages. not to mention they sell violet leaf absolute EO :inlove:

[Comfrey]

Might wind up with something you like. Hope it works out.
well apparently its a flax type oil (camelina) so its not doing my hair any harm LOL

[aisling]

Yeah, it was doing that for me too. I just copied the link.

They're obviously carrying fractioned coconut oil. What people here usually use is unfractioned coconut oil, the thick stuff this site calls butter :rolleyes: I don't get their need to make things more confusing.

[Eryka]

The coconut thing is confusing, not even getting into the various smells of the different types. Sheesh.

Still loving my Emu. However, I am a fickle woman who is always looking for something better.

(Oh yeah, with hair stuff too. *wink* )
