Lavender Essential Oil
Description: Lavender Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil (INCI: Lavandula Angustifolia Oil) from the flowering tops of true lavender. It has a fresh, floral, herbaceous aroma and is one of the most versatile essential oils, used in skincare, bath and body products, soap, candles and relaxing blends. It is concentrated and must always be diluted before use on skin. Available in 100ml, 200ml and 500ml, with 1L and larger on our Lavender Essential Oil Wholesale page.
Why It’s Special:
- Classic Scent: A clean, floral note that suits face, body, bath and home products.
- Blends With Almost Anything: Pairs well with citrus, mint, wood, herbal and floral oils.
- Versatile: Works in creams, oils, balms, soaps, bath salts, candles and diffuser blends.
How to Enjoy Lavender Essential Oil: Can I put lavender oil straight on my skin? Undiluted use is not recommended, so dilute it in a carrier oil or product first. For a body oil, add 20 to 40 drops to 100ml of a carrier oil such as Almond Oil. For bath salts, mix 1 to 2% into Epsom or sea salt and seal in a jar. In a diffuser, a few drops give a soft, floral aroma.
Creative Inspirations:
- Body Oils and Balms: A 1 to 2% blend in a carrier oil or balm for an evening wind-down routine.
- Bath Salts: Mix into Epsom or sea salt for a floral bath soak.
- Face Mists: Pair with Lavender Hydrosol for a layered lavender range.

Making It Work: What is the difference between lavender and lavandin? True lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a softer, sweeter scent; lavandin is a hybrid with a sharper, more camphor-like note. What does lavender blend well with? Sweet orange, bergamot, peppermint, cedarwood, tea tree and most floral and citrus oils. Try it with Tea Tree Essential Oil for a fresh, clean blend or Cedarwood Essential Oil for a woody one. Need bulk? 1L to 20L sizes are on our Lavender Essential Oil Wholesale page.
