HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lavender Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: lavender herb extract, in a liquid form with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients. Lavender has been traditionally used to ease anxiety and promote relaxation.

The extract here is alcohol-free, so you're getting the herb's active compounds without the alcohol carrier.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Lavender's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: relaxation and calming support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Insomnia, Perioperative anxiety, Pre-procedural anxiety, Anxiety, Sleep quality.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lavender is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Pre-procedural anxiety (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lavender is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Insomnia, Stress, Perioperative anxiety.

The evidence supporting lavender for specific uses is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (period cramps).

For cancer-related pain, it's rated possibly ineffective. For alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), pre-procedural anxiety, and cancer-related fatigue, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lavender is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth or applied to skin in typical amounts. The most common side effects reported in people taking it orally are breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, gas, headache, and nausea — usually mild and infrequent.

Topically, it can rarely trigger allergic skin reactions. There isn't enough reliable safety data for medicinal amounts, so use it only with your healthcare provider's approval.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation hasn't been well studied — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lavender

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lavender.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 248 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start this product, check with your pharmacist if you take any CNS depressants — that includes sleeping pills, sedatives, anti-anxiety medications, opioid pain relievers, or antihistamines that make you drowsy. Lavender may strengthen their effects and side effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lavender Alcohol Free may help with period cramps, though the evidence for other uses isn't clear yet. If you take sedating medications or supplements, check with your pharmacist before adding this — the combination could amplify drowsiness or other side effects.

It's generally well tolerated, but talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your health picture.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, lavender might potentiate the therapeutic effects and adverse effects of CNS depressants.
Laboratory research suggests that lavender has sedative effects. However, clinical studies in patients taking oral lavender oil (Silexan) 160 mg for 10 weeks or taking lavender flower powder 1 gram daily for 2 months have not reported side effects of drowsiness, sedation, or sleepiness. There is still some concern that higher doses or different preparations of lavender might have additive effects with CNS depressant medications.

Lavender Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Lavender Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lavender Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lavender Alcohol Free contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will lavender help my anxiety?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether lavender works for anxiety. Pre-procedural anxiety (nervousness before medical procedures) is listed as insufficient evidence to rate. If you're interested in trying it, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — especially if you're already taking anxiety medication.
Is lavender safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Safety hasn't been well studied in pregnancy and lactation, so we don't know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's okay for you in your situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Orally, the most common ones are breath odor, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, gas, headache, and nausea — though they're not very frequent. If you apply lavender to your skin, allergic reactions are rare but possible.
Can lavender help with period cramps?
Yes — it's rated possibly effective for dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps). That said, the evidence isn't conclusive, so results can vary.
Is this the right form if I want to use lavender?
This is a liquid alcohol-free extract, so you're getting the herb's active compounds in an easy-to-take form. Just remember that the essential oil form is toxic if swallowed and can irritate skin in some people — this extract avoids that issue.
