The 7 Best Essential Oil Brands You Need to Know About (2025)

The benefits of essential oils seem endless. They're known to help with anxiety and stress. Some people use them to relieve menstrual cramps. Others might rely on them to help shorten the common cold. They can also send you off to dreamland much quicker or give you a burst of energy when you're feeling tired. Or you can use them to erase acne scars. I mean, the list goes on and on.

These botanical extracts are very potent stuff. And because they're powerful, you need to handle them with care, meaning for most oils, you'll need to dilute them with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) before applying them directly to your skin. And all it takes is a few drops added to a diffuser to take in all the benefits of these oils.

When it comes to choosing an essential oil, there are so many different brands to choose from. It can seem overwhelming, and you might want to just choose the first thing you see. We've done the research for you and created a list of our favorite essential oil brands based on our own editor reviews and customer ratings. Take a look below.
