| Features | Lavender Backyard Garden | Other Brands |
|---|---|---|
| Production Method | Traditional cold-process soap making, slowly cured for quality. | Often uses fast, commercial hot-process or melt-and-pour methods. |
| Core Ingredients | Made with olive oil, shea butter, and castor oil—known for their nourishing skin benefits. | May include synthetic fillers or cheaper oils like palm oil. |
| Scent Source | Scented with our own lavender essential oil from farm-grown flowers. | Often uses artificial fragrance oils or diluted blends. |
| Skin Benefits | Retains natural glycerin for gentle cleansing and lasting hydration. | May dry out skin due to lack of moisturising components. |
