Lavender Oil, Lavandula angustifolia

Description:  Relaxing

The most popular essential oil in the world, lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is considered one of the safest oils to use for adults and children, and scientific studies over the years have verified its many benefits. It smells both floral and herbaceous, since the oil comes from the flower, leaves, and stems of new growth.

Lavender essential oil is grown in many regions across the globe and is produced more than any other essential oil. Aura Cacia Lavender Essential Oil is distilled from flowers in Bulgaria that have been picked at peak bloom. Lavender is harvested annually near or just after the summer solstice. The flowers only bloom for two weeks, so the harvesting and distillation is often done all day and night. Lavender is harvested with a combine and taken to the distillation facility.

Lavender is dominated by middle notes, mainly linalool and linalyl acetate. It smells both floral and herbaceous, since the oil comes from the flower, leaves, and stems of new growth.

Lavender is well known for its calming and relaxing effects. It can be applied topically when diluted or diffused in the air. It's commonly used in pillow sprays, personal care products, and bath blends.
