So now that you have your goal clear, let’s dive in.
The Basics: Who is Walmart
Walmart is America’s superstore. It has everything most people could ever need, all in one place, for an affordable price. So it’s no wonder that with the resurgence of natural remedies that Walmart began to carry essential oils.
The oils that Walmart carries are going to be different than the essential oils an actual essential oil company will offer. This is because no one thinks essential oils when they think Walmart, but if you’re browsing at the superstore, why not?! And again, it is all going to come down to your goal when figuring out if purchasing essential oils from Walmart is the best for you.
Because Walmart carries multiple brands we’re going to compare their price with the price brand’s price from their site. Below you’ll see brands that we have already reviewed so that it will be easier to choose based on their overall review.

Prices are very similar when buying from the company itself or purchasing from Walmart. What it comes down to is convenience, if you need it fast Walmart is a good option because they offer free 2-day shipping and free in-store pick up. If you’re looking for affordable oils mainly for aromatherapy use, Walmart may be a good option.
Walmart lacks a good selection. For starters, they only offer the most popular oils like lavender, peppermint, frankincense, and orange. This makes sense because Walmart’s passion is not essential oils so they just want to offer the most popular to their customer base.
Their site does offer filters so you can narrow down and find what you’re looking for. These filters include prices, customer ratings, brands, and primary ingredients. They also have a health concerns filter but personally, I wouldn’t use this just by looking at their selection and brands. For therapeutic uses, you are going to want a large, high quality selection.
If you decided that the main reason you want to use essential oils is to make your home smell inviting or do whip up some DIY cleaning recipes, then purchasing from Walmart is not the worst idea.
By looking at the brands that Walmart offers that we already reviewed, Aura Cacia or Plant Therapy would be your best bets if your looking for a little higher quality essential oils. While they still fell as a B on our rating scale, they are still your best options compared to NOW essential oils D rating and Nature’s Truth’s C. If you want therapeutic benefits, you may be disappointed with the results.
