Lavandin Essential Oil

Lavandin Essential Oil 

Lavandula x intermedia, alsa known as Lavandin, is a hybrid cross between Lavandula angustifolia (Fine  Lavender) and Lavandula latifolia (Spike Lavender). Lavandin is easier to grow at lower altitudes (400-600 meters). Because Lavandin is easier to cultivate and yields much more oil per acre than Fine Lavender it is considered to be very economical [1,2].

Lavandin essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops of the plant.  It shares a lot of similar properties with Spike Lavender and Fine  Lavender. This essential oil contains Linalyl Acetate, Linalool, Camphor and 1,8-Cineole. Lavandin essential oil is often preferred in the perfume, cosmetic and soap industries because it has a sweeter and more floral aroma and contains camphor components. This essential oil is especially great for supporting the respiratory system.

Lavandin essential oil may be applied via inhalation or topically. Before using this essential oil, carefully read Warning & Safety Requirements.
