Unscented bases · Pure essential oils

You pick the scent. We'll blend it in.

Start with a clean, fragrance-free base — shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand cream, lotion. Then choose up to three pure essential oils and we blend them into your bottle before it ships. Five sizes, from a 4 oz travel bottle to a 64 oz refill.

Three steps

How your bottle gets made

The base is the same every time. What changes is what you put in it.

Choose a base and size

Six fragrance-free formulas, each in five sizes. The base carries the scent without adding one of its own.

Pick up to three oils

Twenty-seven pure essential oils. Combine a top, a heart and a base note for a blend that lasts, or keep it to a single oil.

We blend and ship

Your oils go in at the right dilution for that formula, then straight into the bottle. Nothing sits on a shelf pre-mixed.

The bases

Start unscented

Pick a formula, then scent it. Or leave it plain — every base is a finished product on its own.

Twenty-seven pure oils

The essential oil library

Use them to scent a base, or buy a bottle on its own. Each one is tagged by where it sits in a blend — top notes open, heart notes carry, base notes linger.

Bring the bottle back

Refills cost less than a new bottle

You've already paid for the container once. Mail it in or drop it off in Folsom and we'll refill it at a reduced price — same blend, or a new one.

Mail it in

Send us your clean, empty bottle and we'll refill it and ship it back. Return postage is billed at exactly what it costs us — no markup, no handling fee.

Or come to Folsom

Drop your bottle off at our Folsom, California location and collect it refilled. Nothing ships either direction, so there's no postage to add.

Change the scent if you want

A refill is priced below a new bottle of the same size. Keep your original blend or pick up to three different oils — the refill price doesn't change.

Rinse the bottle and let it dry fully before sending. If a container or pump is past reuse, we'll tell you before we fill anything.

About Herbal Alchemist

Fragrance should be something you choose.

Most personal care products arrive already scented, and the label rarely tells you with what. We took the opposite approach: build a genuinely good unscented base, list every oil by name, and let you decide what goes in.

That means a shampoo that smells like rosemary and nothing else if that's what you want — or nothing at all, if you're sensitive to fragrance. Our oils are sourced through Alurent, a small-batch perfumery in Folsom, California.
