$44.99$35.73Save 21%
Nutmeg essential oil is steam-distilled from the dried, crushed kernels of Myristica fragrans, the tree behind the kitchen spice. On the strip it opens warm, sweet, and spicy-woody, with a musky depth that reads more polished and less dusty than the ground spice in your pantry.
Brighter Than Ground Spice: this oil carries a fresher terpenic lift than the jar in your spice rack, layering neatly into blends built around orange, clove, cinnamon, vanilla, and sandalwood.
Verified Purity Standard: every bottle is 100% pure and undiluted, matching the results published in our Certificate of Analysis.
Ten Sizes Available: from a 0.5 oz sampler bottle up to 400 lb bulk drums, so hobbyists and formulators buy from the same standard.

Bulk Nutmeg Orders Welcome

Add a few drops of nutmeg essential oil to your diffuser on a chilly evening for a warm, spicy-woody scent that fills the room without a single note of smoke.
Dilute nutmeg essential oil into a carrier oil at a conservative ratio for a spicy-woody massage blend that pairs beautifully with orange or vanilla on cold-weather evenings.
Crafters use nutmeg essential oil in fall and winter candle pours, mulled-cider simmer blends, and spiced soap batches for a cozy, kitchen-spice aroma without a synthetic edge.
Combine nutmeg essential oil with cinnamon and orange in a stovetop simmer pot for a whole-house holiday scent that skips the artificial air-freshener smell entirely.
Nutmeg essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract, not a finished skincare product. Dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before applying, and patch test on a small area first. Keep it away from eyes, children, and pets, and never take it internally. Store the bottle tightly capped, shielded from sunlight, in a cool room.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this nutmeg essential oil pure? ▾
Yes. Every bottle is 100% pure and undiluted, distilled from Myristica fragrans with nothing added and nothing stripped out. You can review the results yourself in our published Certificate of Analysis before you buy.
Is nutmeg essential oil the same as mace essential oil? ▾
No. Both come from the same fruit of Myristica fragrans, but nutmeg oil is distilled from the kernel while mace comes from the scarlet lace wrapped around it. The two share a family resemblance, but nutmeg leans warmer and less resinous on the strip.
What does nutmeg essential oil smell like? ▾
Expect a warm, sweet, and spicy-woody scent with a musky undertone, brighter and less dusty than ground kitchen nutmeg. It rounds out particularly well alongside orange, clove, cinnamon, vanilla, and sandalwood in a diffuser blend or a candle pour.
How do I dilute nutmeg essential oil for skin use? ▾
Keep it conservative: mix 0.5% to 2% nutmeg essential oil into a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond, which works out to roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Always patch test a small area first and watch for any reaction before wider use.
What sizes does nutmeg essential oil come in? ▾
We offer ten sizes, starting at 0.5 oz and scaling all the way up to 400 lbs, so the same bottle serves a home diffuser and a commercial formulation line. Every size ships from the identical batch standard.
Does buying a bigger bottle actually save money? ▾
Yes, per-ounce cost drops steadily as size increases. The 400 lb drum works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the 0.5 oz bottle, which makes the larger sizes worth considering for anyone using nutmeg oil regularly.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes. Every size we sell, from the smallest bottle to the largest drum, is covered by the same published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for a bulk purchase, contact us before ordering and we will do our best to help.
Which size should I start with? ▾
A 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is plenty for testing nutmeg essential oil in a diffuser or a single candle batch. Regular home crafters tend to settle around 4 oz to 8 oz, while soap and candle makers working in volume usually order from 5 lbs up.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders typically ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a little extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, so you will get standard tracking and confirmation emails along the way.
What color and consistency should I expect from nutmeg essential oil? ▾
It typically pours as a thin, pale yellow to nearly colorless liquid, similar in viscosity to water. Some natural variation in shade is normal from batch to batch and does not affect quality. Keep the cap tight between uses so the scent stays true over time.
