See how our lavender products stack up on sourcing, scent purity, and daily use.
| 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. |
| Craftsmanship | Hand-poured and cut in small batches with artisan care. | Mass-produced with little variation or unique touch. |
| Eco-Conscious | Palm oil free and crafted using sustainable ingredients. | Many soaps still rely on unsustainable or questionable sources. |
| Made in New Zealand | Locally made on our lavender farm with full ingredient transparency. | Often produced overseas with limited traceability. |
