About our Lavender from France: Lavender is an aromatic evergreen shrub and is known as true lavender, fine lavender or English lavender. It has deep roots in the Provençal tradition and grows naturally in the highlands of the region, mainly in the Alpes de Haute Provence in France. This region is one of the main lavender producing areas in the world. The plant has erect stems and dense gray-green foliage. Its blue-purple flowers are fragrant and intense, blooming in summer. Lavender has been used since antiquity, including by the Romans, who used it in baths, laundry and for medicinal purposes. The flowers are harvested in July and August, when the summer heat stimulates the release of essence from the flower's secreting glands. Then the harvested lavender tops are left to dry, allowing excess moisture to evaporate. This one or two day wilting period is essential to ensure the quality of the lavender oil.

Safety: The quality of essential oils is fundamental, as they are liposoluble and easily absorbed by the skin, entering the bloodstream. It is important to note that lavender essential oil can cause dermatitis in some people. Check the instructions for applying pure oil to the skin and avoid high doses. Do not use essential oil for more than 28 consecutive days without taking breaks.
