Lavender Essential Oil
Fields of Tranquility: The Essence of Lavender in Bloom
Lavandula angustifolia essential oil is distilled from the soft purple flower spikes of lavender, harvested at peak bloom in the summer sun. Steam distillation transforms these blossoms into a soothing aromatic oil.
Picture lavender fields in full bloom, their flowers steaming to release delicate vapors that form drops of pure serenity. From 1 ton of flowers, 4–6 kg of this calming oil is extracted.
Each drop is rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, offering a sweet, herbal scent renowned for its ability to relax the mind, restore emotional balance, and support restful sleep.
