Why is ‘naked’ unscented lotion no longer made?
Under US law, the certified organic grain alcohol Dr. Bronner’s products use must be “denatured” or rendered undrinkable by adding one of various approved substances. The only options to do this naturally and organically are a small amount (~0.18%) of peppermint, lavender or rosemary essential oils. The Lavender Coconut variety is “lightly scented” as it contains only the small amount of organic lavender oil needed to denature the organic alcohol. Since no other fragrance is added, the natural delicious coconut fragrance of our organic extra virgin coconut oil combines with the small amount of lavender for a subtle, sublime scent.
