Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cold Process and Triple Butter soap bars?
Cold Process soaps are traditionally crafted using saponified vegetable and plant oils (like coconut, olive, and castor) to create long-lasting, gentle cleansing bars. Triple Butter soaps feature a super-creamy glycerin base enriched with three rich plant nut butters—Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, and Mango Butter—for maximum skin hydration and softness.
Which lavender soap bar should I select for sensitive skin?
Our English Lavender Castile Soap is ideal for sensitive skin. It uses a traditional olive oil base paired with gentle English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) essential oil, offering an exceptionally mild, soothing wash. The English Lavender & Rosehip Goatmilk Soap is also highly moisturizing for delicate or dry skin.
How do English Lavender soaps compare to French Lavender soaps?
English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) soaps feature a soft, sweet floral scent designed for calming and bedtime relaxation. French Lavender (Lavandula Intermedia) soaps offer a sharper, invigorating, lemony-fresh scent with higher natural camphor, ideal for an energizing morning shower.
Are Weir's Lane soap bars scented with real essential oils?
Yes, all of our Cold Process and Triple Butter soap bars are scented with 100% pure plant essential oils—such as English and French lavender, bergamot, patchouli, cedarwood, lemongrass, and peppermint—without synthetic fragrance chemicals or harsh detergents.
How long do these natural soap bars last, and how should I care for them?
Our 135 g and 140 g soap bars are long-lasting when kept dry between uses. To extend the life of your natural soap bar, store it on a draining soap dish away from direct shower spray so it can air-dry completely.

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.
What essential oils do we offer and/or use in our products, and from where do they come? First and foremost we are a small batch producer and we care about quality! We used to grow lavender and so we know a thing or two about what makes for a good essential oil.
We source all of our lavender essential oils directly from family run farms that properly test their oils and can provide us with a consistent volume year after year. We source our hydrosols from Ontario lavender farms.
