Set-up in 1979 by the very charismatic Ray Sherwin, Hermitage Oils was one of the first mail-order businesses to offer medical grade essential oils in the UK.

In 2005 Ray Sherwin hand selected the very ambitious Adam Michael, founder of Blue Essence and customer of Hermitage Oils to takeover his business. Ray has remained on board and works in an advisory role solely to Adam.

Now a family run business based in the sunshine city of Hull. We are a business that is truly customer focused, down to earth and easy to deal with. We have strong knowledge of the commodities we offer and if by chance there is something we don’t know, we won’t pretend to.

Just about every website you visit regarding Essential Oils will tell you they are better than the next for obvious reasons. The fact is whilst our competitors come and go quicker than reality TV stars, we just keep getting stronger and this is down to our straight forward approach.

We have the mail-order division aimed at home enthusiasts to professional therapists, a wholesale division aimed at manufacturers and retailers and now finally an official presence on the Internet.

Our comprehensive range of essential oils and carrier oils, are all medical grade. We deal direct with the distillers for many of our oils in the UK and overseas, working relationships that have been in place for many years.

All our no-nonsense black & white labelling clearly states the botanical name, batch code and expiry date. We use recycled paper labels. On the subject of price, we believe our oils represent value for money, why you ponder, well we have over a quarter of a century of trading behind us, we don’t operate on high margin and we have 3000 plus satisfied customers!! This website even takes it one step further by honouring customer loyalty in the way of the loyalty discount scheme.

Let us welcome you to the Hermitage Oil experience today, the true home of essential oils!
