Lavender Essential Oil (40/42)


Average Product Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Based on 26 Customer Reviews)



Botanical Name: Lavandula officinalis

Plant Part: Flowers

Extraction Method: Steam Distillation

Origin: France

Description: The Lavender plant grows to about one meter in height and produces long thin purple- blue flowers. The entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star shaped hairs that cover the plant.

* Important Note: While a number of suppliers sell nature identical versions of lavender 40/42, ours is 100% natural. Regular users may notice a difference in the scent of this new batch, freshly received from our new supplier. The floral top note is followed by a more earthy back note.

Color: Pale yellow to yellow liquid.

Common Uses: Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil has the most floral scent of all the Lavenders, though its therapeutic levels are the lowest. Nonetheless, it is recognized as having some strong properties. They include being analgesic, anticonvulsant, anti-depressant, anti-microbial, anti-rheumatic, antiseptic, anti-spasmodic, anti-toxic, carminative, cholagogue, choleretic, cicatrizant, cordial, cytophylactic, diuretic, emmenagogue, deodorant, hypotensive, insecticide, nervine, parasitical, rubefacient, sedative, stimulant, sudorific, tonic, vermifuge, and as a vulnerary. Lavender 40/42 is often the Lavender oil of choice for applications in soaps, candles, perfumes and cosmetics. The reason is that the 40 – 42 refers to the standardization of both Linalool and Linalyl acetate esters resulting in a very consistent floral scent.

Consistency: Thin

Note: Top

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Bay, Bergamot, Chamomile, Citronella, Clary Sage, Geranium, Jasmine, Lemon, Mandarin, Orange, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Pine, Thyme, Rosemary, Rosewood and Ylang-ylang.

Aromatic Scent: Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil has a floral, herbaceous, fresh scent with balsamic woody undertone.

History: Lavender has been used since ancient times as much for its perfume as for its medicinal properties. Romans added lavender to their bath water, hence the name derived from the word 'to wash' - lavare.

Cautions: Avoid high doses during pregnancy because it is a uterine stimulant.

This EO is great for CP soap--I have a batch curing, and for the first week I could smell lavender wafting up from the basement every time I walked into the house! I've also used it in facial masks with French green clay and some aloe vera juice with great results.

Fantastic quality - I've tried this EO from many suppliers, but will stick with NDA from now on. For 40/42 it has a great floral scent, and less harsh herb notes than I'm used to. This grade is perfect for CP soap, and I also use it in all my other products: bath bombs, lotions, salts. The 3kg size is also very well packaged, no fumbling, no mess.
