True Lavender | Organic Essential Oil
Gently floral and aromatic, lavender needs no introduction. The so-called "mother of essential oils" is universally known and loved for its exquisite aroma and deeply calming properties.
There are more than 45 species of lavender and several hundred genotypes but few compare to the highly therapeutic, aromatic beauty of true Lavandula angustifolia grown in Provence.
Distilled to exacting standards, this pure and exceptionally fragrant oil is rich in the naturally occurring compounds linalool and linalyl acetate, which relieve anxiety and tension, and restore a sense of balance.
Lavender is also well-known as an effective natural remedy for insomnia. Diffusing this beautiful, gentle oil in the evening encourages the body and mind to relax, promoting a restful night's sleep.
