Lavender Oil

Lavender

Antiseptic, air purifying, skin rejuvenating

Product Description

Lavender oil is the cornerstone of aromatherapy and one of the most versatile essential oils in commerce. Steam-distilled from the flowering tops of Lavandula angustifolia (syn. L. officinalis), true lavender yields a complex oil dominated by linalyl acetate and linalool. Our lavender is sourced from both France (Haute-Provence, the gold standard for fine lavender) and Xinjiang, China (the world's largest lavender-growing region after Provence), offering buyers a choice of origin, price point, and chemotype. French lavender is floral-sweet and ideal for prestige perfumery; Xinjiang lavender is robust, high in linalool, and competitively priced for industrial-volume applications.
