Product description

Lavandin super is a hybrid plant created by crossing narrow-leaf lavender and broad-leaf lavender varieties. Lavandin is cultivated in France at higher altitudes than classic lavender.

Lavandin essential oil is obtained from lavandin leaves by steam distillation. It has a similar scent to narrow-leaf lavender, with a slight camphor undertone but a more intense aroma, and is therefore used primarily in aromatherapy and in refreshing and cleansing products. Due to its high camphor content, it can also help with problems such as snoring or ringing in the ears (tinnitus).

Lavandin, as a blend of two types of lavender, has a much higher yield – from the same amount of plant material it is possible to produce up to 10 times more essential oil than from common lavender, which results in its favourable price. However, compared with narrow-leaf lavender, its fragrance is more herbal and less floral.

All supplied raw materials are of cosmetic grade, not suitable for internal use. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils, also called ethereal oils, are natural aromatic substances that come from various parts of plants – trunks, roots, seeds, flowers, leaves, etc. They give plants their characteristic scent and, in addition, have therapeutic and protective effects. They act very positively on symptoms on the physical, emotional and mental levels. 

Their chemical composition is relatively complex. Essential oils are most commonly obtained from plants by distillation, extraction or pressing. Essential oils are highly concentrated and are applied directly to the skin only after dilution with carrier vegetable oils (almond, apricot, jojoba, etc.). The only exceptions are tea tree and lavender essential oils, which you can apply directly.

Use essential oils for inhalation or in your cosmetic products; we do not recommend the consumption of any essential oils of any brands.

Essential oils are fat-soluble, so if you want to use them in products that do not contain oils and butters, use a solvent /solubilizer/.

HOW CAN I USE ESSENTIAL OIL?

Cosmetics and soap making – the required amount of essential oil depends on the specific formulation and the batch size.
Inhalation, steaming – drip a few drops of essential oil into an aroma lamp, diffuser, or a container with hot water.
Bath – mix the drops of oil in a base oil /coconut, olive.../, in 1 dcl of milk or in a teaspoon of honey, and pour this mixture into the bath. Essential oils on their own are not soluble in water, so the drops would float on the surface.
Massage – add a few drops of essential oil to a cold-pressed vegetable oil (approx. 50 ml) and mix well. Enjoy a pleasant massage.
Sauna – you can choose from conifers, rosemary, eucalyptus, sage, mint or citrus fragrances. The number of drops depends on the size of the sauna and your preference.

Essential oils are also widely used in skin care, for local compresses, hair masks, and in oral hygiene care...
