Reviews are personal experiences, not research, and they never change our quality ratings. Every review is read by our team before it appears.
How we evaluated it
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- The product page links the report for lot TU2091: Aromatic Plant Research Center (Lehi, Utah), tested February 26, 2026. It found linalool 33.9% and linalyl acetate 31.5%, and “no adulterants, diluents, or contaminants” by its method.
- The lab describes itself as an independent third-party laboratory. Rocky Mountain Oils also offers a lookup by the batch number on the bottom of the bottle, and sends blend reports on request.
- The page names the plant (Lavandula angustifolia), the part (flower), the method (steam distilled) and the countries it may come from. The report we opened lists Bulgaria.
- The company says its oils go into amber glass bottles.
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- The copy makes health claims. It says the oil’s “calming properties help reduce stress and encourage sound sleep” and that it has “benefits for skin care and pain relief”, and its recipes promise to “ease pain” and “soothe inflammation”. Our lavender article finds that the anxiety trials used a standardized oral capsule and that no human trial has tested lavender oil on wounds.
- The FAQ says undiluted lavender “is gentle enough that you can” put it on skin, with a patch test, and the safety line calls it “non-sensitizing”. Our safety guide says to dilute, and Mountain Rose Herbs’ product page warns that lavender can sensitize skin.
- The report covers one lot. Check the number on your bottle against the lookup. Prices swing with constant sales and a paid membership, so the $20.95 we saw may not be what you pay.
- The site also sells blends marketed for immunity and pain, which we do not list.
What to know Details worth knowing first
Rocky Mountain Oils links a batch report from the product page, and the lavender report we opened is recent and comes from an outside lab. It reads as true lavender: linalool and linalyl acetate make up about two thirds of the oil, and the lab found nothing added.
The rest of the page is the weak part. Its copy promises stress relief, better sleep and pain relief, its recipes say they will ease pain and soothe inflammation, and its FAQ says lavender is gentle enough to use without dilution. Our lavender article shows what the trials tested, and our safety guide says to dilute any oil before it touches skin.
We rate it a 3 for that gap between a strong report and loose claims. Buy it for the report, check your bottle’s batch number against it, and ignore the health copy. Do not swallow bottled essential oils.
Quality & testing How it measures up against our checklist
- Third-party tested
- Yes
- Tested by
- Aromatic Plant Research Center (lot TU2091, February 2026)
- Certificate of analysis
- Yes
| What we checked | What we found |
|---|---|
| A batch test Verified | The product page links a GC/MS report for lot TU2091 from Aromatic Plant Research Center, test date 2026-02-26 (test number ROM260225F), which we opened. It reports no adulterants, diluents or contaminants by its method. We did not try the batch-number lookup. |
| Named plants Maker’s claim | Lavandula angustifolia; flower; steam distilled; origin “Greece/France/Bulgaria”, with Bulgaria on the report we opened. |
| Honest claims Maker’s claim | No claim to cure a disease, but several health claims (stress, sleep, skin, pain, inflammation) and a statement that undiluted use is acceptable with a patch test. |
| Safety information Maker’s claim | The page gives kids’ dilution (0.5 to 2%, from 6 months) and a dog FAQ; a site-wide notice says to consult a physician if pregnant, nursing or on medication. It also calls lavender “generally non-irritating and non-sensitizing”. |
| Dark glass, dropper and lot number Maker’s claim | Quality page: oils are bottled in protective amber glass. The batch number is on the bottom of the bottle. A dropper is not mentioned on the product page. |
What the labels mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
