Product description:
One of, if not "the" most popular essential oil in the world, Lavender has been used in Europe for centuries for its medicinal, aromatherapy and skin care properties.
Unfortunately, its popularity makes it the most adulterated essential oil on the market, usually with the lower quality and cheaper hybrid Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) or created as an outright chemically created synthetic mimic which does not contain the true healing properties of Lavender.
Only plants from the species Lavandula angustifolia produce an essential oil that is considered to be True Lavender Essential Oil with all the many attributed benefits ascribed to this versatile essential oil.
There are several species of Lavandula angustifolia that produce highly regarded Essential oils and are usually named for where they naturally grow but have subtle differences in chemical composition, scent and effect, they are: Bulgarian, Maillette, French, Wild Lavender, Fine Population and our gorgeous, sweet Lavender Kashmir.
This Lavender, grown at a high altitude in the Kashmir Valley particularly at the foothills of the Himalayas is considered to produce a superior essential oil with high therapeutic properties and a more complex, sweeter more herbaceous aroma than other species.

Essential oils of Bergamot, Black Pepper, Cedarwood, Chamomile Roman, Chamomile German, Cinnamon Bark Clary Sage, Clove Bud, Eucalyptus, Frankincense, Geranium, Ginger, Grapefruit, Jatamansi, Juniper Berry, Lemon, Lemongrass, Mandarin, Marjoram, Melissa, Myrrh, Neroli, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Pine, Peppermint, Scotch Pine, Rosemary, Ruh Khus, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang
