Sun Essential Oils Lavender 16 oz Essential Oil

This lavender oil arrived today, and it is truly great. A real Retail Unicorn: VERY good deal and very good product, both. Smells great, passes the “paper test” , and NOT greasy with some “mystery” oil. I use this to boost my unscented laundry detergent, and on my wool dryer balls, and this load just came out smelling every bit as nice as expensive brands. Additionally, I mix it with witch hazel to make a linens spray and also a face spritz. Thank you SO much Sun Essentials! I can see why you are an Amazon Choice, indeed!UPDATE: Feel like I need to amend this review. Unfortunately, the scent does not hold up, and within no time I realized the laundry was coming out without any lavender smell, and my spritz bottles were not retaining any scent, either. I would recommend NOW brand over this. The 4oz. NOW costs almost as much as this 16 oz. , but you get SO much long- lasting and fresh scent with each drop of NOW. Even a dropperful of Sun Essentials cannot match it.☹️

have used this brand for years and its always been exactly what it says and its fresh. Lavender oil is an awesome way to help you chill out and be relaxed. The scent of lavender has a medically proven effect on humans and pets and is an easy way to feel just a little better or sleep just a little better.

We use this Lavender Essential Oil in the dryer to make our clothes smell great. Just a few drops on a reused antistatic dryer cloth can scent a load lightly, so it's not overwhelming. The smell is so clean, fresh and natural that it makes me enjoy dong the laundry a bit more. Friends of mine combine Lemon and Lavender oil to make a homemade antibacterial cleaner. I also use a quite few drops in the homemade biodegradable laundry detergent I make.

This review encompasses not just the lavender, but a few other Sun Essential Oils... I ordered Joy, lavender, peppermint, frankincense to start...they arrived today much to my delight. This is my first time trying Sun; I make soap as well as my own oil blends, so I'm familiar with essential oils and have used many different brands such as Young Living (which I find horribly overpriced due to their MLM) and Bulk Apothecary. At any rate, I go through oil pretty quickly, so was curious if these puppies would be a good go-to for an inexpensive oil. Sadly my first experience with Sun Essential Oils is off to a rocky beginning... the sealed peppermint oil leaked in the box with roughly 2 teaspoons of oil missing due to the leak. This didn't upset me too much - these things happen, and I didn't pay a lot for the large 4 oz bottle. I opened the bottle & am not real thrilled with the scent - it almost has a petroleum-like smell to it, not the pure "shock" of good peppermint oil. Okay, I'll use this in soap, hope for the best, and use the rest for keeping mice at bay. Next, I opened the Joy. As other reviewers have noted, it is far more weak than the original YL Joy blend. FAR weaker... take heed! Used topically, the scent is barely there and disappears quickly. With potent oils such as ylang-ylang & jasmine, you'd expect it to be quite strong. It definitely doesn't feel or smell like a pure oil blend... there HAS to be a carrier in there someplace. On a positive note, I poured some into my diffuser and it's very nice... however, I used way more than the usual 5 or 6 drops. The lavender: does not have that "softness" that a pure lavender should have... it too has almost a petroleum undertone to it. This makes me sad. How can you screw up lavender??! I have yet to try the frank, but my expectations are low at this point. Another thing that bothers me, and apparently many others: the bottles do not have a regulator/dropper. They DO include a pipette, BUT the dang thing is too big for the box so it arrives all bent from being forced into the box rendering it useless (due to breakage where it was folded). My suggestions to the company... If you are using a carrier, say so. I'm in no way an EO expert, and even I can tell these are not 100% pure essential oils. Please provide droppers in your bottles and stop cramming a pipette into a too-small box. I really wanted to like this product but I don't think I'll be ordering this brand again. There is a reason for the low price tag... you get what you pay for. --- UPDATE: Sun Essentials responded and I upped the rating from 3 to 4 stars. They're customer service is AMAZING. They offered to replace the peppermint that leaked (I declined), and sent a new Joy & lavender, which arrived very quickly. The replacement lavender is 100% better; I will buy again. However, sadly... the Joy is still less than joyful. The scent is very weak & texture is very greasy. The frankincense? Couldn't be happier! That one turned out to be my favorite - I use it in face serums & neat, topically, and will purchase again. They also sent two new pipettes, packaged much better to where they were curved, and not crammed in & creased. Thank you, Sun, for your fabulous customer service! After this experience, I will try more of your EOs.

Was looking for pure lavender essential oil to diffuse and slipped up by not reading the ingredients. I let the front of the label fool me, along with my previous purchase of the brand’s clove oil (for natural insecticide). This is not pure lavender essential oil. It contains “lavendin” (a hybrid) oil which I’m okay with, “lavender fragrance” oil (lab created, can be synthetic, natural, or both) not okay with, and “triethyl citrate” (ethyl alcohol and citric acid). Although lavendin is supposed to be a stronger scent, I could barely smell it in the bottle nor while diffusing in comparison to the 100% pure lavender essential oil (Now brand) I had remaining. Then I read the ingredients and discovered why. Very disappointed. This was my reminder to ALWAYS read the ingredients. I bought another brand that is 100% pure lavender oil — noticeable difference.

This lavender oil smells wonderful and has a great scent throw in my candles and wax melts. Will definitely buy again.

Compré la presentación de 16 oz de lavanda y me sorprendió el tamaño, es bastante grande y rinde muchísimo. El aroma es relajante, floral y limpio, ideal para usar en difusor por la noche o para crear un ambiente tranquilo en casa. Lo he usado principalmente en el humidificador y el olor se dispersa bien sin ser demasiado fuerte. También me gusta que dura bastante tiempo comparado con los frascos pequeños típicos.

These I bought for homemade DIY fabric softener and they are not strong at all. I will not buy this brand again.

Odeur agréable. Bonne qualité-prix. Manque conpte-goutte.

no scent.

Love it, great fragrance.

Great for keeping bugs away and smells amazing

This product does not smell good. I used it for soap making and my soap does not have the sweet smell of lavender. And I cannot return this item. Very disappointed!
