What It Does
Lavandula Angustifolia Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil extracted from the flowers of true lavender grown primarily in France, Bulgaria, and high-altitude regions. It contains linalool and linalyl acetate as primary constituents, giving it distinctive calming aromatic properties and mild antimicrobial activity. Formulators choose this specific lavender species over hybrid varieties (lavandin) for its superior fragrance profile, lower camphor content, and traditional use in premium skincare formulations where its soothing properties complement its aromatic benefits.
