The Sanctuary sells our own line of therapeutic grade oils.  These are approximately 25%  less than the multi-level marketing oils and have the same therapeutic grade standards as other oils of this quality.

The Sanctuary also sells Aura Cacia essential oils, which are high quality 100% pure oils.
