AROMAWEB is a wonderful noncommercial resource. Wendy, the webmaster, has provided recipes, links, a space to evaluate vendors you enjoy, all sorts of great information!.

The AGORA project the Aromatherapy Global Online Research Archives is a cooperative effort of over eighty of us from throughout the world. This is its home page, with links to cooperating sites worldwide.

A huge Spreadsheet of Oil Characteristics is available for download at Andy Barston's site. (I'd love to offer it here!)

The Boston Jojoba Company is the source for our natural, organic Jojoba Oil. If you are buying in large quantities, or seeking more information about uses of this wonderful carrier, they are your source. We have been dealing with them for years, and have always been pleased with their quality and service.

Deena Gentle at Gentle Ridge Farms is my source for Emu Oil. She has scads of information about this healing NONvegetable carrier oil, and is my source for this ingredient in many healing lotions, salves, etc. Well worth checking out.

Aromatherapist Kristen Leigh Bell, of AromaLeigh, produces my favorite line of all natural Mineral Makeup, as well as a line of aromatic skincare products for those who don't care to make their own goodies with our ingredients.

I have extremely sensitive skin, and most makeups (especially foundations and other liquid products) give me dermatitis after a few uses. Kristen's mineral makeup allows me to play with no ill effects. She offers a wide range of foundations to suit every skin tone, as well as blushes, eye makeup, lip gloss - everything you need for daytime or evening glamour. Make sure you order samples to find your best shades.

TRAVEL - for those longing to see the source of some of these luxury aromatics, or just to indulge and nurture your wanderlust, there can be no better tour guide than my friends Jim Llewellyn and Robbi Zeck pf AromaTours. I'm saving my pennies for their Aromatherapy Retreat in Provence, although I am so very tempted by the woman's retreat in Bali. It seems that whenever I have the money for the trip we are too busy for me to leave; when there is time to go, the funds are scarce. Perhaps in 2010?.
