Lavender is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean, thriving in well-drained, sunny soils. This certified organic essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the fragrant purple flowering tops. Lavender’s scent is fresh, floral, and herbaceous, with a subtle woody undertone, and is one of the most widely used essential oils, found in both perfume-making, aromatherapy and cosmetic products. Lavender has a long history, dating back to ancient Rome and Egypt, where it was used in bath rituals and mummification but today, it is valued for its versatility and is a key ingredient in many aromatic blends.
