I use about a teaspoon of Lavandin grosso with each load of my wash. It helps get the clothes cleaner, gives my laundry a nice smell when it's done, and prevents mold from growing in my wash machine.

This lavandin has none of the medicinal qualities that many people find less appealing in some of the less costly lavenders. We have been adding this to our lavender soap to rave reviews. A wonderful alternative to lavender 40/42 for individuals such as soapmakers who use large quantities of lavender essential oil and need to find a cost effective way to provide that lavender scent that so many customers ask for.

I got a big bottle of the lavandin and have added 2 or 3 different little bottles of the softer varieties of true lavender to it to help be sure I'm getting the full therapeutic benefits, some of the softer notes in my producs, AND to make my lavender go quite a bit further! I think the scent holds much better in my cp soap with a good portion of the fragrance coming from the lavandin. VERY pleased! Thank you!

Very, very close to true lavender, I use lavadin in a 2:1 ratio with true lavender to help stretch the more expensive true lavender. Scent comes trough very well in CP soap.

If you like the smell of lavender, try lavandin! Even prettier I think. Luscious smell perfect for soaps. Very relaxing.

Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.

NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
