As you can probably guess, lavender is the number one essential oil we use. In fact, we keep a big bottle of it on hand when we are in production mode.
We source as much therapeutic-grade lavender oil here in the US as we can. The oil isn't something I can procure myself - it takes thousands of lavender flowers to get just a small amount of therapeutic-grade essential lavender oil, and many hours to produce the oil. We'd spend all our time creating our own oil instead of creating great products for your skin!
Β It's very important to use the therapeutic grade because these are 'truer' essential oils. Certified therapeutic grade - which is the only kind we use in our products - means three things:
Β π The oils are sourced from their own natural habitat and are not contaminated from polluted soil or pesticides.
π The oils do not contain any fillers or artificial ingredients and adhere to very strict quality control.
π Only this level of quality can ensure the correct composition of the active natural compounds that give the essential oils the therapeutic properties.
