Budget Friendly Essential Oils Under $20

I love my essential oils. So much so that I have a spreadsheet to keep track of what oils I currently have, which ones I’m about out of, and which oils (like Rose!) are on my wish list.

Budget Friendly Essential Oils Under $20

When I first started using essential oils it was a bit overwhelming. I knew that I could diffuse them, and I looked up the benefits of each oil to see how to best put them to use in my life. What I found was that oils worked really well for me! I love diffusing lemon, lavender, and peppermint for my sinuses. And Stress Away is a must-have if you have small children.

I go through bottles of that stuff, y’all.

But I digress. I love my oils. And because of some wonderful friends (and a lot of research), I oil up All.The.Time. And pretty soon, I started looking for more oils to add to my collection. I wanted to use them as much as possible.

But I am also on a budget.

And essential oils can be pretty spendy, so I started looking through to see what would give me the most bang for my buck. When you’re on a budget, but want to start living a more natural lifestyle, essential oils can be a very affordable option…if you’re smart about which oils you pick.

So, if you’re thinking of expanding your oily collection (I highly recommend it), here are 36 budget friendly essential oils under $20* (listed in alphabetical order because I don’t like playing favorites-I love all my oils equally.):
