Q: Why All-natural?
A: The natural skin care market is growing at a rate of 5 times that of the traditional skin care market. The skin is a sponge. As the body's largest organ, it absorbs about 60% of what is topically applied directly into the bloodstream (Good Housekeeping Institute). People are becoming more educated, aware and concerned about the long and short-term health implications of toxic chemicals. LAVANILA formulations use 100% Healthy, all-natural ingredients & technologies that lead the way to safe non-toxic and effective skin care.

Q: Do you test on animals?

Q: Why Vanilla?
A: The highly aromatic vanilla bean is one of the worlds most identifiable and comforting scents/flavors.

Q: What exactly are pure essential oils?
A: They are concentrated, highly aromatic components of plants & fruits whose molecular structure is close to that of our skin and therefore readily absorbed by the skin. Unlike synthetic fragrances that mask our natural scent, essential oils work with our natural scent creating a unique and signature experience on each person. When carefully chosen, they are long lasting with a clean and authentic tone.
Q: Are there Phthalates In any of your fragrances?
A: No. We don't use phthalates in any of our products. Traditional fragrances and products use phthalates to extend the life of the scent on the skin. We use a naturally derived marine technology to lock in scent and body beneficial vitamins without the use of phthalates.
