*Certified organic, DE-ÖKO-007.
Most oil sold as lavender is lavandin, a sterile hybrid with higher yield and a sharper, camphoraceous edge. True lavender is a separate species. It is grown higher, yields less, and carries far less cineole and camphor.
01 · Origin
Lavandula angustifolia belongs to the dry limestone uplands of Haute-Provence. Altitude favours the species and excludes much of the lavandin grown on the plains below. This oil comes from certified organic cultivation in France.
02 · Chemistry
Linalyl acetate and linalool lead the profile; the ester gives the soft, sweet floral body. Lavandulol and lavandulyl acetate are characteristic of the true species. 1,8-cineole is present in minor proportion only.
03 · In Practice
Sweet, floral and herbaceous, with a clean, soft finish. Diffusion, massage, bath and skincare formulation. The reference oil of the lavender library and the benchmark for comparing the highland and wild expressions.
General information: For external use only. Dilute before applying to skin. Keep away from heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
