Why We Use Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil in Our Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent

We understand many people want their cleaning products to have a pleasant scent. But most conventional cleaners rely on toxic chemicals that can include thousands of hidden ingredients linked to health concerns. 

How do they get away with it? In the U.S., companies aren’t required to disclose ingredients used in fragrances or parfumes. It’s a workaround known as the fragrance loophole

Lavandin grosso oil is a safer alternative that we use to help lightly scent Truly Free Home Signature Scent Laundry Wash and Truly Free Home Signature Scent Dryer Angel.

Here’s why we love lavender grosso essential oil:

  • Naturally derived: It’s a single plant-based oil, not a chemical cocktail.
  • Gentle, not overpowering: We use lavandin grosso sparingly, so it infuses our laundry products with a clean, uplifting aroma that doesn’t overwhelm fabrics, or the air, or irritate your skin.
  • Customer favorite: Essential oil-based scents, especially lavandin grosso, are among the most loved by Truly Free Home families.


It’s worth noting: Lavandin grosso essential oil, also known as Lavandula hybrida, has an Environmental Working Group (EWG) rating of 2. That score reflects potential allergy concerns when lavandin grosso essential oil is used at very high concentrations. Truly Free Home formulas only use a tiny, safe amount—just enough to deliver the scent without overwhelming your home and fabrics or irritating your skin.

Safe, Responsible Scent Sourcing

We take fragrance safety seriously. Our Signature Scent, which includes lavandin grosso essential oil, meets the strict standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), the global authority that reviews fragrance ingredients for safety.

For laundry detergents and other rinse-off products, IFRA allows a maximum fragrance concentration. We go far below that, formulating our scent at levels about 10 times lower than the maximum permitted. This wide safety margin ensures our products remain gentle, safe, and family-friendly while still offering a pleasant lavender scent.

Our suppliers also certify compliance with IFRA standards, so you can trust that the fragrance in your Truly Free Home products is both transparent and responsibly sourced.

The Transparent Takeaway

Lavandin grosso essential oil gives us a way to offer a light, calming scent in Truly Free Home laundry products without relying on toxic chemical-infused fragrances. It’s safe, naturally derived, and sourced with care.

Because when it comes to cleaning, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between something that works, something that smells nice, and something that’s safe. With lavandin grosso essential oil, you can have all three.
