Where to get jojoba oil in Toronto?

Where can I get pure jojoba oil in Toronto? All I'm finding so far are various compound moisturizers that include jojoba, but I just want a little bottle of the oil itself.

I usually order mine online, as it is cheaper than what I can get at the local health food store. The local pharmacy also carries it at a lower price, but still more expensive than purchasing online.

The supplier I use only ships to US., so if you have friends who can order it for you, you can ask them to mail it to you? Otherwise, I see that this place is Canadian.

Desert Essence bottles it, so if you can spot a health food store that's got their products, they may have it. Their website doesn't locate stores outside the U.S., but I've found it in Montreal.

Best answer: Soapscope sells it (link goes directly to the page with the jojoba oil prices). Not sure how good the prices are, but it is available. They do online ordering and they have a store on Roncesvalles as well.

Response by poster: Thanks for all the suggestions. The prices on the Canadian web site are lower than Soapscope's prices, but the shipping costs make it much more expensive in the end. I guess I'm taking a trip to Roncesvalles soon.

I've bought it at local organic grocery co-ops, and at Whole Foods/Wild Oats type stores. I see that there's a Whole Foods in Toronto, but I don't know how close it is to you. In any case, one of those organic-grocery-superstore kinda places ought to have it.

Best answer: I've seen bottles of it at Bulk Barn.
