Organic lavandin essential oil (bot. Lavandula x intermedia) has a fresh, herbaceous, light, and clear scent and is a heart note. Its aromatic profile is balancing, refreshing, and purifying. It is extracted from the herb part of the plant via steam distillation. We source this essential oil from our long-standing organic farming partner in Piedmont (Italy).
The semi-shrub is a hybrid of “true” lavender (bot. Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender (bot. Lavandula latifolia). In terms of its chemical composition, its essential oil differs from the milder “fine lavender” in that it contains more camphor and the compound 1,8-cineole. In the summer, its fresh scent transforms a floral water into a fragrant body spray that pests find unappealing. Its clarifying properties also make it a trusted companion during the colder months. Its cleansing effect makes it ideal for adding to body cleansers, such as hand soaps. Traditionally, lavandin oil has also been used for centuries to perfume soaps, as well as cleaning and laundry detergents.
