Essence Body Spray vs. Popular Mass-Market Body Mist: A Comparison

Written By Leanna Brown

When it comes to body sprays, there’s more to consider than just the scent. Ingredients, sustainability, and value all play a role in choosing the right product for you. In this post, we’ll compare Lavender and Crate’s Essence Body Spray with a popular mass-market body mist brand, diving into their ingredients, composition, and pricing to help you make an informed decision.

1. Ingredients Matter: What’s Inside?

At Lavender and Crate, we believe in transparency and sustainability. That’s why our Essence Body Spray is handcrafted in small batches using premium, plant-based ingredients. Here’s an ingredient breakdown:

Essence Body Spray Ingredients:

  • Aqua (water)

  • Fragrance oil (customizable scent options)

  • Polyethoxylated sorbitan (emulsifier)

  • Oleic acid (natural fatty acid)

  • Preservatives (cosmetic-grade and safe)

Our formulation is gentle, clean, and eco-conscious. It’s even safe for use on dogs with short coats, thanks to its natural, non-toxic ingredients. Plus, we avoid harsh chemicals, synthetic additives, and drying alcohols.

Popular Mass-Market Body Mist Ingredients: Mass-market body mists are known for their bold and varied scents, but their formulations often include synthetic chemicals. A typical ingredient list includes:

  • Alcohol Denat. (drying alcohol)

  • Fragrance (synthetic)

  • Propylene Glycol

  • Water

  • Benzyl Salicylate (synthetic preservative)

While these ingredients are generally safe for use, the alcohol content can be drying for the skin, and synthetic fragrances may not align with a natural or eco-conscious lifestyle.

2. Composition: How Do They Feel and Perform?

Essence Body Spray:

  • Feel: Lightweight, hydrating, and non-sticky.

  • Performance: Provides a long-lasting, natural scent that doesn’t overpower.

  • Eco-Friendly: Handcrafted with sustainable, biodegradable ingredients.

Popular Mass-Market Body Mist:

  • Feel: Alcohol-based formula can feel drying or sticky over time.

  • Performance: Strong, bold scents but may require frequent reapplication.

  • Eco-Friendly: Limited focus on sustainability or natural formulations.

3. Cost Comparison: Value for Your Money

Essence Body Spray (8 oz/237 ml):

  • Price: $15.00 CAD (no GST).

  • Customization: Choose from over 30 unique scents for a personalized experience.

  • Longevity: A little goes a long way, thanks to its concentrated formula.

Popular Mass-Market Body Mist (8 oz/236 ml):

  • Price: $16.95–$19.95 CAD (plus applicable taxes).

  • Customization: Limited to pre-made scents from their seasonal collections.

  • Longevity: Requires more frequent application due to alcohol evaporation.

Lavender and Crate’s Essence Body Spray not only costs less than many mass-market options but also offers a more natural, sustainable alternative with customizable scents, making it an excellent value for conscious consumers.

4. The Eco-Friendly Edge

Lavender and Crate’s Essence Body Spray is handcrafted in small batches in Calgary, Alberta, with a strong commitment to sustainability. By focusing on natural, biodegradable ingredients and minimizing waste, we ensure that our products are as kind to the planet as they are to your skin.

Mass-market body mist brands, as large-scale retailers, often prioritize cost-efficiency over sustainability. While their products are widely available, they may not align with the values of eco-conscious consumers who prefer natural and sustainable options.

5. Which One is Right for You?

If you’re looking for a body spray that aligns with a natural, sustainable lifestyle without compromising on quality or scent, Lavender and Crate’s Essence Body Spray is the clear winner. Its customizable formulation, clean ingredients, and eco-conscious production make it a standout choice for those who value quality and sustainability.
