What matters most when choosing a wholesale essential oil supplier?

Hi everyone,

I started this community as a place for professionals interested in wholesale essential oils, carrier oils, macerated oils, natural cosmetic ingredients, sourcing, and global oil trade.

To open the first discussion:

What do you consider most important when choosing a wholesale essential oil supplier?

Is it documentation, GC/MS reports, price, origin, minimum order quantity, packaging, consistent quality, private label options, or international shipping?

I’d love to hear from buyers, suppliers, cosmetic brands, soap makers, aromatherapy businesses, and formulators.
