# Lavender oil or Lavender Touch?

Both bottles smell like lavender. The difference is what comes out of them. Here’s how to pick between the 15 mL essential oil and the 10 mL roll-on.

In short

-   Lavender 15 mL is undiluted essential oil in a dropper bottle.
-   Lavender Touch 10 mL is a roll-on containing lavender essential oil and fractionated coconut oil.
-   For a diffuser that takes essential oil drops, choose the dropper bottle. For direct application to the skin as directed, choose the roll-on.

If you want lavender for a diffuser, pick **Lavender 15 mL**. If you want to roll it onto your wrist, **Lavender Touch 10 mL** comes ready for that. You can decide between them by asking where you’ll use the bottle first.

## When the dropper earns its place

If your plan is to put a few drops in the diffuser while you read in the evening, the dropper is the one we’d buy first. Follow the directions for your diffuser. If you also want to use the oil on your skin, check the label and dilute as directed with a carrier oil. That gives you control over the mix and means you may only need one bottle at home.

## When we’d choose the roll-on

For a wrist application away from home, we’d choose Touch. The roller dispenses the premixed blend onto a small area without a separate bottle of carrier oil. The 10 mL on the label measures the whole blend. Since the product page doesn’t give the proportion of lavender oil in Touch, a price-per-milliliter comparison with the undiluted bottle tells you little about the amount of lavender oil you’re getting.

Both products can cause skin sensitivity. Follow the local label, avoid the eyes and other sensitive areas, and keep both bottles out of reach of children.

If you’re choosing between other oils sold in both formats, our [guide to Touch roll-ons and dropper bottles](https://myoils.club/en/blog/touch-roll-on-or-essential-oil/) shows what to look for.

## Questions and answers

### Can I put Lavender Touch in a diffuser?

Choose the undiluted Lavender dropper for a diffuser designed for essential oil drops. Lavender Touch contains a carrier oil and is packaged to roll onto the skin.

### Is 10 mL the amount of lavender oil in the roll-on?

It is the volume of the whole blend. The 10 mL includes lavender essential oil and fractionated coconut oil. The product page does not state the proportion of each.

### Can I use the dropper bottle on my skin?

Check the label for topical use and dilution directions. If you would rather skip mixing, Lavender Touch comes already diluted for topical application.
