This page covers the bulk formats of Valerian Root Essential Oil: 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs, drawn from the identical steam-distilled batch we bottle at retail. Formulators, soap makers, and natural perfumers working valerian's earthy, musky base note into production runs can order by the pound instead of the ounce.
Earthy, animalic base note valerian's damp-wood, musky character makes it a favored trace addition beside patchouli, vetiver, and cedarwood in natural perfumery and layered soap scents.
Documented purity, every size all three bulk sizes are covered by our published Certificate of Analysis, the same paperwork that backs the retail bottles.
Lower cost per pound the 400 lb size runs about $231 per pound, less than half the per-pound rate of our 0.5 oz retail bottle.

Ways to Use It
Natural Perfumers & Blenders
Source valerian's earthy, musky base note by the pound for perfume accords built around patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, and lavender at production scale.
Work valerian's dark, viscous oil into cold-process soap and cosmetic bases, where its musky depth grounds sweeter botanical blends during the curing weeks.
Store bulk containers sealed, cool, and away from direct light to preserve valerian's aroma over time. Decant working amounts into smaller airtight bottles rather than leaving large containers open on a workbench, and keep all sizes away from eyes, children, and pets, cats especially. For any skin application, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does lab documentation come with bulk orders? ▾
Yes, every bulk size, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis as the retail bottles. If you need anything further for your records, contact us before placing your order.
How does the per-pound pricing work? ▾
Per-pound cost drops sharply as order size grows: our smallest retail bottle, 0.5 oz, works out to about $909 per lb of oil. The 5 lb bulk size runs $417.66 per lb, 25 lbs runs $341.28 per lb, and 400 lbs runs $230.55 per lb, our lowest rate available.
Is the bulk oil the same as what's in the retail bottles? ▾
Yes. We produce valerian oil to one standard only, there is no separate bulk grade. Every size, retail or bulk, comes from the same steam-distilled batch and is backed by the identical published Certificate of Analysis, so quality does not change with quantity.
Which bulk size should I start with? ▾
For a first production run or small-batch testing, 5 lbs is usually enough to prove out a formula. Once a recipe is set and you're running it steadily, 25 lbs cuts your per-pound cost meaningfully. Manufacturers running valerian at real scale typically order the 400 lb size.
Can I order more than 400 lbs? ▾
Yes, quantities beyond 400 lbs are available for manufacturers and large-scale buyers. Contact us with your volume and timeline and we'll work out a custom order.
How fast do bulk orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. Bulk sizes, especially 400 lbs, may need extra handling time before they leave our facility, so factor that into your production schedule. Checkout for every size runs through our Shopify store.
What's the best way to store bulk quantities? ▾
Keep bulk valerian oil sealed tightly in its original container, stored cool and out of direct light, since heat and sun exposure will dull its aroma over months. Decanting a working supply into a smaller bottle for daily use protects the bulk of your purchase from repeated air exposure.
Will valerian oil discolor soap or candle wax? ▾
Because valerian oil is naturally dark and viscous, expect it to tint cold-process soap and candle wax toward brown or amber rather than staying colorless. Most makers plan their palette around that natural tint instead of fighting it, and a little goes a long way given the oil's intensity.
