Description
Lavender Extract Product Overview
Lavender extract and essential oil are obtained from the flowering tops of true lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, mainly by steam distillation or CO2 extraction. The oil is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a fresh, floral and herbaceous odor; its main components are linalool and linalyl acetate, typically 25–45% each.
Perfumers use it in fine fragrances, colognes and fougère accords, often alongside Coumarin and Benzyl Acetate. Cosmetic and personal care producers use it in soaps, lotions, shampoos and bath products, and aromatherapy brands use it in diffuser blends and massage oils. Food producers use small amounts of lavender as a flavoring.
True lavender differs from lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia), which gives a higher yield but contains more camphor and has a sharper odor; buyers should specify which they need. Other natural aroma materials in our range include Litsea Cubeba Oil.
