Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil
A timeless classic, Lavender 40/42 is a beautifully balanced blend of Italian, Bulgarian, and French lavenders. It offers a soft, floral, and herbaceous aroma that is fresh and light, with gentle balsamic and woody undertones. This is the most traditionally floral-smelling lavender, making it a favorite for personal care, fragrance, and home products.
Lavender 40/42 is widely used for its calming and soothing properties. It helps promote relaxation, ease tension, support restful sleep, and relieve muscular discomfort and rheumatic aches. Known for its deodorizing and cleansing qualities, it is also effective for soothing sunburns and minor burns while naturally repelling insects. Its gentle nature makes it one of the safest lavender oils for use with children and the elderly.
The "40/42" designation refers to the standardized levels of linalool and linalyl acetate, ensuring a consistently smooth, floral aroma that matches what most people expect lavender to smell like. While its therapeutic strength is lower than that of some single-origin lavenders, its scent consistency makes it ideal for commercial and cosmetic applications.
