Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use lavender bath and massage oil in the bath vs. directly on the skin?
To use in a bath, pour 1 to 2 tablespoons (approx. 15–30 mL) into warm running bathwater just before stepping in to disperse the essential oils evenly. For massage or daily moisturizing, apply a few drops directly to damp skin after showering or towel drying, massaging in circular motions until fully absorbed.
What is the difference between using English and French lavender in a bath and massage oil?
English lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) contains higher levels of linalool and lower camphor, making it deeply soothing for sensitive skin, stress relief, and bedtime relaxation. French lavender (Lavandula Intermedia) contains naturally higher camphor content, which creates a warming, invigorating sensation that helps ease sore muscles, support circulation, and refresh tired joints.
Will this bath and massage oil leave my skin feeling greasy or clog my pores?
No. Our bath and massage oil uses lightweight, plant-based Holly Oil that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy, sticky residue. Because we use non-comedogenic oils combined with pure lavender essential oil, it hydrates deeply while allowing your skin to breathe naturally.
Can I use this lavender massage oil on sensitive skin or my face?
Yes, our lavender bath and massage oil is formulated with pure, natural ingredients suitable for sensitive body skin. However, because body oils contain essential oil concentrations optimized for the body, we recommend doing a patch test on your inner wrist first before using it on delicate facial skin.
Does adding essential oil to bathwater make the bathtub slippery?
Because oil naturally floats on water, adding any bath oil can make the bathtub surface slick. To prevent slipping, pour the oil under warm running water to help distribute it, take care when stepping out of the tub, and wipe down the tub basin after your bath.
Lavender is not simply a single scent. For most of us, we pick products based on both scent and use.
If using around the house (our linen spray, room spray, sachets, house cleaner ... see house collection ... then we tend to use the French Lavender (Lavandin). This is a sharp scent that is robust and so will linger longer. Sometimes we'll soften the French with a bit of English Lavender (e.g. our room spray) and if using dried flowers for decoration -- you'll find we carry both English and French lavender ... see dried flowers
When using as a cream, soap, etc. ... you can choose based on scent ... e.g. the lemony / fresh scent of French Lavender (Lavandin) or the softer / sweeter scent of English Lavender. If you are looking for a product that may have more therapeutic properties, then look for the English Lavender. Going for a hike or sitting in your garden and want to repel bugs? Then use one of our body mists with French lavender (or our outdoor mist). Wanting something for your purse with an antiseptic properties? Try one of our French lavender essences.

Interested in knowing more about the oils we use in our products? Click here to go to the page on our oils. What we commonly refer to as 'lavender' is more than one species -- there are tons of them! There is much confusion over what is and is not lavender, including sorting through the many Latin names.
The two most popular varieties are Lavandula Angustifolia (what we call 'English Lavender') and Lavandula Intermedia (what we call 'French Lavender'). English Lavender is commonly referred to as English because historically it was developed for the English perfume industry. French lavender gets its name historically as it was developed for the the French perfume industry.
Do not let these terms fool you into thinking that only English grows in England and French grows in France! To the contrary -- both are grown everywhere. Each variety has a different scent and preference is a matter of choice. Both varieties:
- are believed to help you relax, sleep, relieve body aches, relieve anxiety, and may encourage blood flow.
- are considered to be an antiseptic and can clean the body and the home
- can help repel moths, spiders, and other bugs
English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia
The most popular and hardiest garden lavender in North America. Lavender species (e.g. Munstead, Hidcote, Royal Velvet, Vera) are from the "true" variety and have the most medicinal properties. This is the better lavender for cooking purposes but not all varieties work well in cooking. It has sweeter scented flowers because it contains less camphor (than French).
English Lavenders are used more for therapeutic properties and are believed to help with digestion, tension headaches, bug bites, burns, and minor skin irritations. Some of these properties have been well studied -- others have just been observed and therefore the scientific evidence is lacking.
French Lavender, Lavandula intermedia
French Lavender (Lavandin) species (e.g. Grosso, Provence, Giant Hidcote, Phenomenal) are a cross between the English Lavender and spike lavender varieties. Abrialii was a mainstay of the French industry until 1970s when it was ravaged by a disease. Grosso was discovered in 1972 and is now the dominant cultivar. Quickly emerging however is Phenomenal. The French Lavender plants are bigger plants (producing more lavender per plant). Aroma is sweet with slightly camphorous scent. The French Lavender scent is used more for its aromatic properties and considered good in cleaning products and products designed to freshen your home. Because of their high camphor content, French Lavender may help with sinus and snoring issues. It is believed that essential oil from French Lavender should not be used by pregnant women in the first trimester nor by individuals with epilepsy.
