Frequently Asked Questions
How pure is this lavender oil? ▾
This oil is sold as botanical grade. We describe it by that grade name and make no broader claims beyond it. If you need specifics about what is in a particular size before you order, please contact us and we will be glad to talk it through with you.
What does the name 40/42 mean? ▾
40/42 is a trade grade name for lavender oil, and this oil is sold here as botanical grade. The exact species is not specified on this page. If the identity of the oil matters for your formula or product listing, contact us before ordering and we will help.
What does this lavender oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
The aroma is smooth, sweet, and floral-herbaceous, the familiar fragrance of lavender in an easy-to-work-with profile. It pairs nicely with bergamot, clary sage, geranium, cedarwood, patchouli, and lemon, so it slots into soap, candle, and home-fragrance blends without much fuss.
How should I dilute it for skin use? ▾
Dilute to between 0.5% and 2% in a carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut. That works out to roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Patch test on a small area first, and keep the oil away from your eyes.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
There are ten sizes, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, 100 lbs, and 400 lbs. Wholesale and bulk buyers are welcome, and every size comes from the same standard.
How does per-ounce pricing change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as the size goes up. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle. If you use lavender regularly, stepping up a size or two is the easiest way to lower your cost per ounce.
Can I get lab documentation with a bulk order? ▾
Please contact us about documentation before ordering. Tell us the size you have in mind and what you need the paperwork for, and we will let you know what we can provide. We would rather answer that up front than have you find out after checkout.
Which size should I choose? ▾
Start with 0.5 oz or 1 oz to test the scent in a small batch of soap, candles, or a diffuser blend. Regular makers tend to settle on 8 oz or 16 oz. For production runs or resale, the 5 lb sizes and up make more sense.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow a little more time for those. Checkout happens through our Shopify store, where you can pick your size and complete the order.
Why do soap and candle makers like this oil? ▾
The draw is consistency. Because 40/42 gives a smooth, sweet, floral-herbaceous lavender profile that stays steady from batch to batch, makers can scale a recipe up and expect the scent to match what they tested in their first small trial.
