IMPORTANT: This lot of Organic Lavandin Grosso Cleaning Essential Oil is discounted by 50% as it is beyond its best by date. It is still suitable for use in household cleaners and applications where shelf life and potential oxidation is not a concern. We do not recommend inclusion of this oil in any topical formulations. It is prudent to wear gloves when using household cleaners including those made with aging essential oils.
Essential oils are precious resources that require a substantial amount of botanical material to produce. Instead of merely disposing of essential oils that are beyond their best buy date for aromatherapy, wellness and topical applications, we encourage the mindful selection and use of expired essential oils for household cleaning applications so that these precious resources are not wasted.
The original description for this lot of Organic Lavandin Grosso Cleaning Essential Oil is shown below:
Our steam distilled Organic Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil, Lavandula hybrida grosso, is a hybrid of traditional Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia). As with all of our organic products, it is certified organic by CCOF.
Our Organic Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil contains 36% linalol and 26% linalyl acetate. Aromatically, it possesses the lovely characteristic aroma of Organic Lavender Essential Oil, but does have an underlying camphorous aroma due to its greater composition of camphor and cineole that is present in lavandin.
Organic Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil blends especially well with other essential oils within the floral, citrus, mint and conifer families. Emotionally, it is more invigorating than traditional Lavender Essential Oil, Lavandula angustifolia, due to the composition of camphor and cineole. Within aromatherapy and wellness applications, its composition makes it well suited for use within cleaning applications intended to support wellness and a healthy environment.
For comparison, Lavender Essential Oil, Lavandula angustifolia, sometimes referred to as True Lavender Essential Oil is best known for its ability to help ease stress and provide a sense of calm. True Lavender Essential Oil typically only contains trace amounts of cineole and camphor and thus smells more floral than does Organic Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil. We recommend using Lavender Essential Oil for emotional wellness and encouraging a calm, relaxed outlook and for supporting wellness.
Below is a summary of the primary constituents present within our Organic Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil:
- Linalol: 34.88%
- Linalyl Acetate: 27.02%
- Camphor: 7.49%
- 1,8 Cineole: 4.38%
