What is the country of origin of the organic lavender essential oil? The NOW Foods website nor the bottle appear to have this information.

The reason why the origin isn't listed is because they have too many sources from all over in which they get the lavender. I can't even tell you if it's truly organic because an authorized agency or group is not listed to validate that claim. If you are very concerned about the source, may I suggest trying your hand at making it yourself. It's pretty easy & I started doing this after I found out that it was something I can make from home: wiki how has a step by step illustrated process that I've found helpful. Sorry I couldn't help you get the answers you were looking for!

I am looking at the 2 pound container right now. It reads, as the last line directly below Nutrition Facts: "Product of China. Packaged in the USA." I used to have a high regard for Now products, but if you look closely at the expanded Nutrition Facts for this product, yo will see that Now Foods has deliberately left off that last line! I won't buy this product again as I no longer have much trust in Now Foods.

It is natural lavender oil, that's all I could find out. I'm using Mary Kay Timewise now that I picked up on ebay for only $23 and it is FANTASTIC!

The bottle does not state where the herb is from. You might want to email Now Foods and ask them.

Says, distributed by NOW FOODS, Bloomingdale, IL. Says they're a small family business. Certified organic by QAI. I have another bag that says product of china, Portugal, Spain. But this one doesn't say anything like that anywhere.

This particular brand is blended with GRAPESEED oil. Mostly all " now" products are organic I believe .

From the now food site: "A lot of people ask if our essential oils are edible. The answer for most is "Yes, but..." Essential oils are typically labeled For External Use Only as a warning to use them very cautiously, even such pure edible oils as those from lemon or orange peels. Essential oils are very strong and even non-toxic ones may be irritating or uncomfortable if not used carefully and sparingly. If you use a recipe, a greater measure of both success and safety is more assured. The book Aromatherapy for Everyone is co-written by a NOW herbal specialist."

That's the terminology they use for their own internal standards. FDA doesn't monitor essential oils. You could check to see if the plants used are certified organic. I bought a couple of sets but the only thing that worries me about this company is how little information is provided about who they are and what they do. You can't even navigate their website properly, and their facebook page has not been updated for a while.

Mine just says its in organic olive oil, no certification info at all. There is a nutrigold website, maybe better info there.

Vegan dirt? Now 'Foods' is the brand name it don't believe every item they carry is for ingestion. This stuff is great when mixed with lavender oil and applied externally. I'd love to hear what you do with it.

as far as I know, lavender grow in organic soil. if they are wild, make sure to find out they don't grow near highways or other heavily polluted areas. contact plant therapy and ask them, since there is nothing that says on the label that it is organic. hope this helps!

I'm not sure the country of origin. But I highly recommend Chlorella Powder Taiwan Organic - Chlorella pyrenoidosa Taiwan, 1 lb by Starwest Botanicals

Hi I am not sure where it is made or the difference between Organic and USDA Certified Organic. I do know that my girlfriend thinks the cream is great. I think it has made her look younger and more vibrant.

Erin did a great job summing up great ways to use lavender oil. This website also gives several reasons to use lavender oil: http://www.netherfield.co.nz/reasons-use-lavender.phpHope that helps!

This soap is made in England. The story goes that a Russian officer was in London in about 1789 and wanted a soap with the same fragrance that he could get at home. An English firm developed Imperial Leather -- I have always like this soap and used to bring as much as I could when I was visiting; however, it is nice to have a source available here. I don't know anything about the Thailand version of this soap.
