Here are a few of our most commonly asked questions. If you have a question that has not been answered here, please reach out.
Where do you get your products?
We love to keep our operation local.
Many products that are not made right here in our own facility, are sourced from other local-to-us artisans. When you purchase from the Rusty Moose, you're also supporting other Buckley-area small businesses!
What is essential oil?
Volatile liquids of the plant obtained by properly distilling any part of the plant- seed, root, stems, leaves,
fruit, flowers and even branches. Distillation through steam is a very slow process and carried out in low
temperature to maintain quality and therapeutic benefits of the oil. Our lavender essential oil is distilled here!
What are the benefits of lavender essential oil?
Lavender essential oil can be beneficial for many different purposes. It can be used on skin for minor irritations such as insect bites and acne. It soothes and helps reduce inflammation. It is antiseptic and can help even skin tone. It can also be used in hair to moisturize the scalp and nourish hair. Lavender essential oil's calming smell assists in soothing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Like other essential oils, it should be diluted before use.
How many lavender plants do you have on the lavender farm?
We have roughly four thousand plants, and eight different varieties at this time!
Customers are welcome to visit our lavender fields and take photos.
