Country of Origin: France
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
Lavender's aroma is floral, herbaceous, light with woody undertones. Its unique aroma has a calming effect on the user. Soothes the spirit, relieves anger, could be valuable in manic-depressive cases.
The numbers in Lavender 40/42 indicate the linalyl acetate content; in this case, they indicate the product contains 40%-42% of linalyl acetate, a naturally occurring phytochemical found in many flowers and spice plants. Lavender 40/42 is generally a blend of various lavenders in order to get a consistent scent from batch to batch, with processors adding natural linalyl acetate to cover the smell of camphor or borneol components of a given lavender.
Most soapers and toiletry makers prefer Lavender 40/42 because it smells the way they believe lavender should smell and it's fairly inexpensive......about half the price of other, more expensive lavenders which are usually reserved for aromatherapy purposes. This is our best selling essential oil for toiletries.
Keeps insects away. Blends well with bergamot, chamomile, citronella, lemon, and pine. Flash point: 156F.

I have been buying this oil for many years for use in our products. I also purchased from another supplier as well but as of this year I have gone to buying from Camden-Grey exclusively because of the quality, price and service from your company. Thank you for such a wonderful product along with great customer service.

Lavender 40/42 from Camden Grey works well in my soaps and seems to last longer than other brands. With regard to comments about the scent compared to Bulgarian lavender- of course Bulgarian lavender is a sweeter, more floral variety. I use it in lotions as you can use less in leave on products. I don’t know anyone that can afford to use Bulgarian in soap making. Lavender 40/42 is standardized to help retain the properties and scent of lavender for regular use. Since lavender harvests can change year to year, I prefer this lavender for soaps. My customers love it and it is my number one product. I even blend it with Bulgarian in my solid lotion bars which is fabulous. The price can’t be beat at Camden Grey and they have maintained quick and efficient shipping during this past year!

I have been purchasing this Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil and the Rosemary Essential Oil from Camden Grey for a few years now. I use them both in my cold process soaps and am very pleased with how they perform. This Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil smells great and the price cannot be beat. Buy with confidence from Camden Grey!
