Has anyone else heard of these being hormone/endocrine disruptors? Our family doctor just told me about this. I was about to buy a facial cleanser that had both in the ingredient list.

    Emmy thanks for sharing this. I have not heard of this, but of course have a house full of lavender scented things- soaps, lotions, and even a lavender stuffed elephant that was given to my five year old when he was born. Ugh.

    Thanks for posting for everyone to see.

    I heard about this, and promptly threw away all my favorite lavender soap. I didn't want to take any chances.

    I have also heard of Clary Sage not being good for hormone positive cancer. I loved that one and had to give it away. Tea Tree oil though - that's a huge bummer, it's in our shampoo to keep the lice away. :(
