Which is better for skin?

Plant Therapy. It is certified organic and its label covers dilution in a carrier oil for scars, wrinkles and minor burns. NOW Foods lists aromatherapy and room diffusion, not skin use.

NOW Foods by far. Its 16 oz bottle holds roughly 47 times the volume of the 10 ml Plant Therapy bottle, so it lasts much longer if you diffuse often.

Is the Plant Therapy worth stepping up to?

If you want organic certification and a dropper for skincare, yes. If you only diffuse to scent a room, the larger NOW bottle covers that need.

Are both 100% pure lavender oil?

Yes. Both are labeled pure lavender essential oil with no synthetic ingredients. Plant Therapy adds organic certification; NOW adds vegan and cruelty-free certification.

Which is better for a diffuser?

Both work in a diffuser. NOW Foods gives you far more oil for regular diffusing, while Plant Therapy's dropper makes it easy to add a few precise drops.

Do they smell the same?

Both are floral lavender. Plant Therapy describes its scent as herbaceous-floral at medium intensity; NOW lists a floral lavender scent. Exact batches vary by harvest.

Plant Therapy Lavender Essential Oil vs NOW Foods Lavender Oil

Buy the Plant Therapy 10 ml bottle if you want a small, certified organic lavender oil you can dilute for skin and scars as well as diffuse. Buy the NOW Foods 16 oz bottle if you mainly diffuse lavender to scent a room and want a large supply from a long-established US brand. Plant Therapy's edge is the organic certification and skin use; NOW's edge is volume and its vegan, cruelty-free sourcing. Owners of both report a true lavender scent, though some find NOW's large bottle less convenient for precise drops.

Choose the Plant Therapy Lavender if you want a certified organic oil for skincare and aromatherapy in a small dropper bottle.
Choose the NOW Foods Lavender Oil if you diffuse lavender to scent rooms and want a large bottle from a well-known US brand.
