23 of My Favorite Essential Oils Under $25 Each (and How to Use Them)

One of the most common objections to using Young Living Essential Oils is that they’re expensive. Ever get sticker shock when looking at the price of Rose essential oil or Melissa essential oil? I totally understand that (but I happen to know that those two essential oils are so worth it, for the record)!

How much plant matter it takes to produce an essential oil, producing them properly, how rare the plant is, etc – all of that and more plays a part in the cost of every single essential oil. Sometimes that means that an essential oil is at a higher price and it’s one you’ll need to save up for.

But, lucky for us, so many Young Living Essential Oils are incredibly affordable. And thank goodness for that because if you go through as many essential oils as my family does, price matters! Here are 23 of my favorite essential oils under $25 each and how to use them. These are all great essential oils to add to your collection!

NOTE: This list is based on the prices for Young Living members. If you care about cost, it makes the most sense to be a Young Living member and be saving 24%, right? Also, these aren’t all of the Young Living Essential Oils available that are under $25 each. These are just some of my favorites.

This is just a short list of uses for these oils.  There are many, many other applications for each oil.
