Our passion
Origin of lavender
Historically, it is also known to have antibacterial properties and was widely used and loved for its powerful and seductive fragrance.
The word lavender is believed to stem from Latin LAVARE which means TO WASH. Romans used lavender to scent their baths, beds, clothes and even hair as it was said to deter bugs, lice and bed bugs. They also discovered its medicinal properties.
Our lavender essential oil is 100% Lavandula Angustifolia (true lavender) as indicated on our label ingredient list. Lavandula Angustifolia is the top quality lavender which can qualify for ISO 3515 certification and carries the most well-being benefits through its purity. Other hybrid lavender oils are very common in the market and available at a much cheaper price.
European countries producing lavender have a specific norm for guaranteeing its quality: ISO 3515. ISO stems from International Standards Organization. It has very strict requirements and references to ensure that 100 % of the oil is pure and has not been adulterated. Our oil is tested by an external laboratory to guaranty its grade.
The yield of Lavender oil is about 0.5%, which means that 200 kg of lavender flowers are needed to produce 1 kg of essential oil. There is over 2 times the amount of lavender oil sold worldwide than what the world crop has to offer. Many essential oil companies will blend their oils with natural chemicals to reduce cost to meet specific commercial grade lavender specifications. Since many countries do not have legislation on the declaration, they communicate their oils to be pure and natural which is not the case.
