    Are there any reputable oil distributors on the west coast?  I am having issues with suppliers on the east coast.  Oils like safflower oil, almond oil, borage oil, avocado oil etc….

    I second Jedwards for West Coast….and depending on quantity desired…there is always Lotioncrafters (for very small amounts).

    Granted…pretty much East Coast…but FSS has good service…if you don’t need it the same week…. And if willing to look to the North… NDA is always incredible.

    My only problem with Jedwards is they ship from MA.

    I recommend Catalyst Technologies (they represent ICSC) or Integrity Ingredients for actual distributors.

    @Stanley, I recently ran across this company located in Riverside.

    Cibaria International, Inc https://cibaria-intl.com/

    I never tried their products, but they are trying to expand into personal care.
    You have to register to get pricing.

    I may have you all beat here: Columbus Vegetable Oils in DesPlaines IL (Chicago) http://www.cvoils.com sells oils, even organics, in gallon to tankwagon quantities and they will beat the price of others by a WIDE margin, even factoring shipping costs from Chicago. They did ship small orders UPS Ground domestically, hopefully they still do. JEdwards is also aces in my book and they do have a wider selection, but I’ve been backordered many times with those guys.
