alarmist, crazy nonsense I’m afraid! The truth is that there are many types of ‘Lavender’ on the market, and they all contain a completely different balance of chemical components. The only thing that should be sold as Lavender is 100% natural steam-extracted Lavender essential oil – a completely non-toxic, non photo-sensitising natruraql product which is completely safe on your skin. Avoid the cheapest products, the synthetic products, and the compound called Lavandin which can burn the skin. You get lots of Lavandin in synthetic Lavender oil!

So don’t panic ladies – get some proper, high grade lavender & yu will also prefer the smell. French Lavender Mont Blanc essential oil is widely accepted as the best.

Lavender use during pregnancy will not make your baby gay. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! It’s use during pregnancy is discouraged because it is known to cause contractions.

And Dee II…there is no surge in homosexuality, we only are more aware of it because society has realized there’s nothing wrong with it, so people don’t hide in the closet anymore. And as far as population control goes…wow, that’s a theory I have never heard of.

You mean from Marie-Veronique Organics? I think it’s at the bottom so I’m not too concerned cos the percentage is probably very little.

Hi Sesame,

I am using the same sunscreen as you and begining to concern about the lavender oil content in it. Have you switched your sunscreen? I am considering changing mine but dunno which product to move to. Any thoughts?
