Our Quality Pledge: Ingredients & Sourcing

Dilly Dilly Essentials is a proudly Canadian-owned and operated manufacturer, born directly from our hands-on experience running a working lavender farm in Ontario. Through our sister business, Weir's Lane Lavender & Apiary, we have spent over 15 years developing exceptional natural formulations, manufacturing in controlled environments, and sourcing the absolute best pure essential oils available.

Our Sourcing Philosophy Great essential oil is a lot like fine wine—there is a massive range in variety, purity, and quality. Whenever possible, we source our ingredients locally from Ontario and Canadian growers. However, to ensure we are always formulating with the absolute highest-grade botanicals, we also rely on a global network of trusted family farms and small businesses. We have spent years building these relationships, ensuring every raw ingredient we use is rigorously tested, verified, and backed by comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COAs).

When you become a Dilly Dilly Essentials customer, you can trust that your products are formulated with the exact same top-tier ingredients we use for our own flagship brands.

The Lavender Breakdown

As former lavender farmers, we know this beautiful botanical better than anyone. Here is a look at the core varieties we use in our manufacturing and offer for wholesale:

• English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) Often called "True Lavender," this variety features a beautifully subtle, sweet, and floral scent. Originally cultivated for the historic English perfume industry, it is highly prized in aromatherapy for its traditional calming properties and is renowned for being incredibly gentle and soothing on the skin.

• French Lavender (Lavandula Intermedia) A brilliant cross between English Lavender and Spike/Spanish Lavender, this variety boasts a much stronger, herbaceous, and slightly lemony scent. Developed for the French perfume industry, its "bigger" fragrance profile makes it highly effective and economical for room sprays, linen mists, and natural outdoor sprays.

• Dried Lavender Buds (Florets) We provide premium French Lavender buds tailored for DIY crafts and highly aromatic sachets, alongside culinary-grade English Lavender buds designed for cooking and baking. (Pro-Tip for your culinary customers: When cooking with lavender, a little goes a long way! Use just enough to impart a delicate floral hint to food and drink recipes).

• Dried Lavender Flowers (Stems) Sourced directly from our affiliated farms' most recent harvests, our beautifully dried bundles vary slightly in bud color and stem length depending on the exact variety and season, ensuring an authentic, farm-fresh product for your shelves.

Beyond Lavender: Essential Oils & Base Ingredients

100% Pure Essential Oils We select our suppliers for non-lavender essential oils just as carefully as we select our own crops. We only work with trusted producers who provide strict documentation and testing to guarantee the absolute purity of their oils.

Premium Base Ingredients You benefit from over 15 years of continuous experimentation, testing, and refinement! Our primary focus has always been to manufacture top-notch products using purely natural formulations and high-quality base ingredients. This meticulous R&D process ensures that every product we manufacture for you boasts a stable, reasonable shelf life—something that is absolutely critical for the success of your retail business.

The Dilly Dilly Essentials Small Batch Difference

At Dilly Dilly Essentials, we are passionate about helping you create a line of products that stand out on the shelf and that your customers will absolutely love.

Why Choose Small Batch Manufacturing? When it comes to botanical skincare and bath products, freshness is everything. Manufacturing in small batches means your products are made-to-order, giving you the longest possible retail shelf life. It also allows us to offer you highly accessible minimum order quantities (MOQs) so you can easily pivot to meet your customers' demands without sitting on massive amounts of inventory.

But "small batch" doesn't mean a small-time operation. Our state-of-the-art facility has passed rigorous regulatory inspections. We proudly handcraft every single product with meticulous care in a clean, sterile environment using only the highest-quality natural ingredients.

Why Choose Dilly Dilly Essentials? We know exactly what goes into a great product because we started at the source! Dilly Dilly Essentials is the brainchild of Weir's Lane Lavender & Apiary owners, Kevin and Abigail, alongside local Dundas business owner, Michael Walker.

Our sister business began by farming and distilling lavender directly from the earth. That deep, hands-on agricultural history means we know exactly what is important when it comes to the growing, harvesting, and distilling of pure essential oils. With over 15 years of experience formulating natural products, we are proud to be known for our fair pricing, highly ethical practices, and friendly atmosphere.
