This page carries manuka oil in three bulk formats built for makers: 5 lb, 25 lb, and 400 lb. Every pound is the same steam-distilled Leptospermum scoparium oil sold in our retail bottles, sized up for soap batches, candle runs, and formulation work that needs volume instead of drops.
Deep honeyed warmth: manuka's aroma runs earthier and sweeter than Australian tea tree, with a slightly spicy depth that grounds a blend the way a wood oil would.
Documented purity, batch to batch: every bulk container, 5 lb, 25 lb, or 400 lb, is covered by our published Certificate of Analysis.
Lower cost per pound: the 400 lb size works out to about $49 per lb, less than half the per-pound rate of our 0.5 oz retail bottle.

Ways to Use It
Soap & Cosmetic Makers
Manuka's earthy, honeyed depth gives cold-process soap and lotion bars a grounding base note that lasts through curing weeks and holds up on the shelf.
Store bulk manuka oil sealed, in a cool, dark spot away from heat and light, and decant only the amount you need into a small airtight bottle for daily use rather than leaving the original container open. Keep it away from eyes, children, and pets. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil for any skin use, and patch test first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does bulk manuka oil come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes. Every bulk size, the 5 lb, 25 lb, and 400 lb containers, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis as our retail bottles. If you need anything further for your production records, contact us before ordering.
How does the per-pound pricing work? ▾
Price drops as size goes up. Our smallest retail bottle, 0.5 oz, works out to about $528 per lb of oil. The 5 lb size runs about $90.24 per lb, the 25 lb size about $74.28 per lb, and the 400 lb size about $48.61 per lb, the best per-pound rate we offer.
Is the bulk oil the same as what's in the retail bottles? ▾
Yes. Manuka oil is one standard here, not a separate bulk grade. The oil in a 400 lb drum is distilled and tested the same way as the oil in a 0.5 oz retail bottle, and both are covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis.
Which bulk size should I start with? ▾
For a first production run or a small test batch, 5 lbs is usually enough to work out your formulation without tying up much capital. Once you have a steady product line, 25 lbs covers several months of normal use, and 400 lbs suits manufacturing-scale operations restocking on a set schedule.
Can I order more than 400 lbs? ▾
Yes, larger quantities are available beyond our listed 400 lb size. Contact us with your target volume and timeline and we'll work out a custom order for your production needs.
How fast do bulk orders ship? ▾
Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. Bulk sizes, especially the 400 lb drum, may need a bit of extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, the same one used for retail orders.
What's the best way to store bulk quantities? ▾
Keep bulk manuka oil sealed in its original container, stored upright in a cool, dark place away from windows and heat sources like radiators or stovetops. Once opened, decant working amounts into smaller amber or dark glass bottles instead of repeatedly opening the large container, which limits air exposure and helps the oil hold its aroma.
Will manuka oil tint my soap or lotion base? ▾
Manuka oil carries a natural amber-brown tint of its own, and used at typical usage rates it can lend a faint warm cast to pale soap bases or light lotions. If you're working with a bright white bar, test a small batch first to see how much color the oil contributes at your usage rate.
