We also offer several other lines NOW produces of either simpler combinations of blended essential oils or more complex combinations of blended essential oils for diffusers, as well as a new line of Roll-Ons for topical application, plus a fairly wide assortment of fully organic essential oils.
NOW 100% Pure Essential Oils
Anise Oil - With the familiarity of molasses and licorice, Anise evokes warmth and depth.
Balsam Fir Needle Oil - A scent that holds its own in winter and summer, balsam is the scent of evergreen life. Balsam fir essential oil delivers the refreshing scent of pine, traditionally used as a decongestant as well as for purifying air generally and in the respiratory system.
Basil Oil - Spicy and purifying, with notes of wood.
Bergamot Oil - Warm and fruity, a tantalizing and spiced interpretation of more familiar citrus scents. Rich, lavish, and spicy, this citrus scented essential oil is traditionally known for antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and is also used for its calming and sedative effects.
Black Pepper Oil - 100% pure black pepper oil, steam distilled from dried unripe berries. Warming, stimulating, focusing and cleansing, with a dry, spicy, sharp aroma. Mixes well with geranium, lavender, frankincense, clary sage, sandalwood, and citrus and spice oils.
Camphor Oil - Piney and penetrating to cleanse your senses. Perhaps best known for the decongestant properties associated with its powerful scent, camphor essential oil is also traditionally recognized for analgesic and anti-rheumatoid properties.
Carrot Seed Oil - (Daucus carota sativa, extracted from steam distillation) - With an earthy, woody, sweet scent, many find carrot seed oil to be soothing, rejuvenating, and grounding as aromatherapy, but it's also wonderful for topical uses: it helps balance both oily and dry complexions; helps nourish damaged skin; and is extremely beneficial for mature or environmentally stressed skin.
Cedarwood Oil - Solid and woody - the scent of strength. An essential oil with a history, cedar oil thousands of years old was found in the tombs of ancient Egyptians - and it still retained its scent! Known in ancient times for the strength of its wood, cedar in its essential oil form is traditionally used in treatment of skin and hair, as well as for its properties of lypolysis, that is, dissolution of fats.
Cinnamon Cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) - The scent of the most popular form of cinnamon used throughout the world; this type of cinnamon oil is sometimes also called Chinese cinnamon.
Citronella Oil - A powerful citrus scent with grassy notes. The lemon-like scent of citronella essential oil is perhaps most familiar to us through its popular use as an insect repellent. However, it is also traditionally used for other purposes, including antifungal, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory, as well as for room deodorization.
Clary Sage Oil - Musky and powerful, the scent of clary sage imparts alertness and focus. Spicy and woody in scent, clary sage is traditionally used for the regulation of menstruation and perspiration, and also as a scalp tonic, relaxant, and aphrodisiac.
Clove Oil - Rich, spicy, and festive, cloves soothe the senses and smell like home. A popular ingredient in winter drinks such as apple cider, the strong yet pleasant and festive scent of cloves makes clove essential oil popular as a broad-spectrum antibacterial often used for antifungal, antiviral, analgesic, and anesthetic purposes. It is also used as a nerve, uterine, and sexual tonic.
Eucalyptus Oil (globulus) - Minty, with herbal roots and green notes of newly-cut foliage. The fresh, rousing scent of Eucalyptus Globulus makes this essential oil a favorite expectorant and mucolytic (which breaks down buildups of mucus), but it is also valued for antimicrobial properties and, together with lavender and peppermint essential oil, as a deterrent of fleas and lice.
Eucalyptus radiata - Mildly sweet, and fresh, with revitalizing, purifying, and clarifying attributes.
Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis) (118ml), expeller-pressed and hexane free - This can be used as a carrier oil to blend with other scents for aromatherapy, but is also rich in essential fatty acids, making it an excellent topical moisturizing oil to help reduce dry skin: simply massage it directly into the skin.

Frankincense Oil (Boswellia carterii) - Deep, fresh aroma with subtle hints of citrus and camphor, for relaxing, focusing, and centering.

The distinct scent of grapefruit makes this a popular choice for cleansing; used as an air antiseptic and astringent, it is also used for liver and kidney health, nervous-system tonic, and digestive stimulation.

Sweeter and more entrancing than spike lavender, true lavender is traditionally known for its use as a moth repellent in closets and as a perfume. Its essential oil is often used for both its relaxing and its antibacterial effects alike.
Lemon Oil - Clean and refreshing to brighten your mood. As one might expect from the familiar, clean scent of lemon essential oil, they are perhaps most commonly known for their antiseptic, antibacterial properties, but are also used for various other purposes, including as a tonic for digestion and the nervous system, and as a lytholytic (for dissolving kidney and gall stones).
Lemon Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus citriodora) - A refreshing, cleansing, stimulating citronella-like aroma, with subtle floral overtones. As one might expect from its citronella-like smell, skin-soothing lemon scented eucalyptus oil is traditionally known as a mosquito repellent, as well as for its antiviral, fungicidal, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Some use it to relieve migraines by rubbing it on their temples. A recent study also found it can reduce aggressive driving tendencies.
Pine Needle Oil - A pine forest in a bottle - clean, refreshing, and vivifying; the scent of outdoors. Not only does pine essential oil bring you the fresh scent of a pine forest, but it is often used to help cleanse the air and lungs, as well as for expectorant and mucolytic purposes - these properties have made it a popular ingredient in traditional cough syrups.
Rose Hip Seed Oil - Nutty and slightly sweet in scent, rosehip (Rosa mosqueta) seed oil is often used topically for its rejuvenating and revivifying effects on skin.
Rosemary Oil - Warm, sweet, and spicy, Rosemary is inviting, subtle, and pure - a scent of love. "There's rosemary - that's for remembrance," Ophelia says in Hamlet and, indeed, remembrance is a fitting association for a herb as rich in historical associations as rosemary, ranging through Egyptian pharaohs, classical gods and gladiators, the Virgin Mary, and modern weddings and funerals. In traditional aromatherapeutic practice, this essential oil with a history is used for its antibacterial, mucolytic, and expectorant properties.
Sage Oil - Soothing and sweet, with just a hint of bracing afterbite, sage seductively recalls you to the present moment and the ground under your feet. With notes of pine anchored in a deeper, spicy richness, sage is traditionally used for the treatment of menstrual issues (as it can mimic the effects of estrogen), as well as hot flashes and excessive perspiration. It is also used as an antibacterial and antiviral agent.
Spike Lavender Oil (Lavandula latifolia) - A spicy, floral, camphoraceous, fresh scent, with purifying, cleansing, and clarifying attributes.

Properties attributed to it include analgesic, expectorant, and antifungal.
Tangerine Oil - Like orange, but with an extra burst of tang, this lively scent is rousing, purifying, and invigorating. Sweet and tangy with a hint of sophisticated rind-bitters, tangerine essential oil is often used as an air purifying antiseptic, as well as for its nerve-calming effects and its stimulation of the digestive system. Together with Lavender, it is also used to reduce stretch marks and scarring.
Tea Tree Oil - Purifying and antiseptic, the scent of this remarkable natural Australian cleanser is herbal and powerful without being overwhelmingly sterile. The aroma of tea tree essential oil is clean yet earthy, and fittingly so, for this plant renowned not only in Australia but now worldwide for its antiseptic properties.
White Thyme Oil - Warm, sweet, and surprising in a spicy way, the scent of white thyme is an embrace of invigoration.
Wintergreen Oil - Warm and satisfying, the scent of wintergreen is the friendliest and least bracing of the mint-scented family of essential oils.
