Dilution & Safety

Store bulk containers sealed, cool, and away from direct light to protect the citral content that gives litsea cubeba its lemon character. Decant working amounts into smaller airtight bottles rather than leaving large drums open on a workbench, and keep all containers away from eyes, children, and pets. For any skin application, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test first.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the per-pound price change as I order more? ▾

The 0.5 oz retail bottle works out to about $348 per lb of oil. Buying by the pound drops that sharply: 5 lbs runs $41.81 per lb, 25 lbs is $33.61 per lb, 100 lbs comes to $25.24 per lb, and 400 lbs falls to $21.58 per lb.

Is the bulk oil the same quality as the retail bottles? ▾

Yes. We pour one standard for litsea cubeba oil, not a separate bulk grade, and every container ships under the same published Certificate of Analysis regardless of size.

Which bulk size should I start with? ▾

5 lbs suits a first production run or a small batch test before committing further. 25 lbs fits a steady candle or soap line running regular batches. 100 and 400 lbs are sized for manufacturing-scale operations that go through oil continuously.

Can I order more than 400 lbs? ▾

Yes, larger quantities are available beyond the sizes listed here. Contact us for custom order quantities and pricing.

How fast do bulk orders ship? ▾

Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes, especially 100 and 400 lbs, may need extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store just like the retail bottles.

What's the best way to store a bulk quantity of this oil? ▾

Keep the sealed container in a cool, dark spot away from heat and sunlight, which preserves the citral that carries the lemon scent. Pour off small working amounts into airtight glass bottles for daily use instead of repeatedly opening the full drum.

Will this oil discolor soap or lotion batches? ▾

Litsea cubeba oil is pale yellow and typically doesn't tint finished soap or lotion the way heavier resinous oils can. Its scent does fade a bit faster than synthetic fragrance oils in cold process soap, so some makers use it slightly heavier than a synthetic equivalent to compensate.
