Organic Lavender

Conventional Lavender Products 

Avoid products made with conventional lavender, which are treated with chemicals, and avoid conventional products that cheaply reproduce the lavender scent instead of using real lavender to cut production costs. Instead of having the amazing relaxing properties of the lavender plant and flower, you will get something made in a lab with a chemical formulation. To me, it is absurd.

Lavender fragrance skincare products are made with fragrance that can introduce toxins or irritants. These are common in mass-market brands prioritizing shelf life and texture, profits over purity.

❌ Fragrance or perfume: considered “trade secrets, you will never know what they contain. 100% synthetic chemical blend often containing phthalates. “Known human immune system toxicant or allergen, causes allergic contact dermatitis, causes skin allergies in children, exacerbates asthma, has high acute toxicity to aquatic life.”

Conventional lavender: They are treated and contain toxic chemicals such as fungicides (Soil and Root Treatment), herbicides Weed Control, and insecticides Greenhouse & Early Growth. That is why I never buy conventional flowers.

Greenwashing Lavender Products 

Avoid greenwashing lavender-containing products made by brands that pretend to be organic, safer, or eco-friendly when they are not. They will use their misleading marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products. They claim to be natural: 

Hybrid blend: cheap, lower-grade lavender oil or a related but harsher plant (like lavandin) and “spike” and add synthetic linalool or synthetic solvents. This allows them to claim “made with natural lavender essential oil” on the front of the packaging, when the scent profile is chemically altered or created in a lab.

“Lavender Scented” / “Lavender Oil”: Highly suspect. “Lavender oil” without a botanical name is often a synthetic fragrance oil or heavily diluted carrier oil.

Organic Lavender Products 

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Lavender with its balancing properties, is considered an adaptogen, fo its ability to assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It helps to relax and wind down before bedtime. It can also boost stamina and energy.  

The best organic lavender is made with organic ingredients or even better, with USDA-certified organic lavender or regenerative organic lavender.

Derived from lavender plants grown under strict USDA National Organic Program standards, with synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs used.
