Description

Choose Your Formula

• True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) — Steam distilled from the flowering tops; France, Bulgaria and the English highlands. Soft, sweet, delicate herbal-floral with hints of honey and fresh grass: the roundest and most comforting lavender. For calm, relaxation, sleep blends and gentle skincare.
• Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia) — Sharper, cooler and more camphoraceous, rich in 1,8-cineole and camphor. More energising and functional: for shoulder and neck tension, post-exercise massage, clearing the head and easier-feeling breathing.
• Lavender 40/42 — A standardised lavender blend: batches of lavender and lavandin are blended so that linalool and linalyl acetate stay at a fixed 40/42 ratio. Consistent, instantly recognisable lavender scent and strong diffusion at a lower cost. Ideal for candles, soap, room sprays and home fragrance; not recommended for skincare.

How to Use

• Diffuse — 3–5 drops in a diffuser to relax and set a calm mood.
• Bath — 4–5 drops mixed into a little carrier oil or bath base.
• Massage — 6 drops in 30 ml carrier oil.
• Sleep Roller — 2 drops in 10 ml carrier oil.
• Pillow Spray — 4 drops in 50 ml water; shake before use.
• Compress — 1 drop in 100 ml water.
• Spot Use (True Lavender only) — True Lavender is one of the few oils that can be dabbed neat on a very small area, for example on the temples or on skin that feels itchy after a bite. Not for Spike or 40/42.

The Story
