You already sell these scents: lavender in the laundry detergent, peppermint in the castile soap, cedar in the balsam candle. Here is what it looks like when the oil itself gets a shelf. We drew it three different ways so you can hold each one up next to the products you already love.
LavenderLavender hand sanitizer spray, laundry detergent, dryer bags and the lavender bath salt in the Pink Salt kit.
PeppermintPeppermint multi-purpose castile soap and the citrus and peppermint body scrub.
EucalyptusEucalyptus won a Trader Joe's scented candle vote, and fresh eucalyptus bunches sell in the flower section.
Sweet OrangeCitrus scented candles such as Limoncello and Grapefruit.
CedarwoodThe Cedar Balsam room spritz and candle, plus the Woodlands tin candle.
Good to know: Tea Tree Oil is the one true essential oil in the aisle today. These five sit beside it as single-scent oils for the home and the bath.

Three Ways to Draw It
Same five oils, same amber dropper bottle, same little box. Three completely different personalities.
Direction A
Foil Sprig
One bold color per oil, one gold-foil sprig, and a gold-foil side panel you catch out of the corner of your eye. It comes from the same family as your Organic Argan Oil carton.
The plant painted right across the box, with a cream label plate and a brush-script name. It is the most colorful of the three, easy to spot from down the aisle, and a natural for seasonal features.
Cream board, one ink color per oil, a double-rule border and an engraved drawing of the plant. Quiet, the simplest to print, and right at home next to your Cedar Balsam Room Spritz.

Samples and paperwork. Dielines, a sample run of each oil, the organic certification details and the GC-MS report for each oil.
NOTE: This is concept photography. Since posting, the details of this idea may have changed due to fluctuating harvests, label regulations, rush hour traffic and at least one very opinionated lavender farmer. Final artwork, wording, certification marks and the Trader Joe's wordmark are confirmed with Trader Joe's before anything goes to print.
