Essential Oil Wholesale Organic 100% Pure Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender oil is an essential oil derived by distillation from the flowers of the lavender plant. It’s one of the most popular and versatile essential oils in the world, prized for its pleasant scent and wide range of therapeutic uses.

• Plant Source: It comes from the lavender plant, specifically the Lavandula angustifolia species (often called “true” or “common” lavender). Other species, like Lavandula latifolia (spike lavender), are also used but produce a different chemical profile.
• Extraction Method: The most common method is steam distillation. The freshly cut lavender flowers are placed in a still, and steam is passed through them. The steam causes the tiny sacs containing the oil in the plant material to burst, releasing the oil. The steam and oil vapor are then cooled and condensed back into a liquid, where the oil naturally separates from the water and is collected.
