| The Face shop sells essential oils at a reasonable price. I've bought Tree tree, eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary oils from there. You can also buy the oil burner and candles. Also, the Body shop sells essential oils as well but they are more expensive than the Face shop. |

The ones at the Face Shop are not really the best quality (they suffice if you cannot find others).
Some better quality ones are to be found at Emart. They have a range in that 'natural homewares/clothing' section with a basic range of oils from Australia. Expect to pay about 10K won for these.
My cheapest option to date has been buying them from Ebay in Australia. There is a company called Rainforest Botanicals from 'Kabiki Lifestyle' (who is the seller). You can expect to pay around 4k won per bottle and postage is very cheap. I am not associated with the seller BTW - but am very impressed with the oil quality, range and postage price to Korea.
Tealight candles are best bought in bulk from Costco. You can pick up a box of 300 (I think?) for around 8K won.
Hope this helps! Oils and candles really do make your place cozy (not to mention cover up the dodgy drain smells). |

Har har. 
Thanks for the suggestions. I actually did find lavender (12k) and rosemary (9k) at E-Mart.
Are y'all talking about "The Body Shop" of American decent?
I've seen Skin Food and Face Shop before, I think they're even on Jeju (where I live). Hopefully I'll be able to find them again.
And I'll check out ebay!
Erm...how'd we get on multivitamins...?
I'm not interested in aromatherapy, but tonics, although I may use lavender for a sleeping aid once in a while. |
