What is Lavender Essential Oil and how does it benefit skin?

Steam-distilled from Tasmanian-grown Lavandula angustifolia at peak bloom — the narrow window when linalool content is at maximum. Not lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia), not 'lavender fragrance.' True lavender, in its purest form, grown at altitude for maximum complexity and depth.

Linalool content in our Tasmanian source routinely tests at 35–42% — the upper range for true angustifolia, and meaningfully higher than the 25–30% typical of lavandin blends commonly sold as 'lavender oil.' Linalyl acetate follows at 26–32%. This chemical profile is the one associated with the documented cortisol-reducing and sleep-promoting properties in peer-reviewed aromatherapy research.
