Product Introduction
Lavender absolute is a highly concentrated form of lavender oil, obtained through the solvent extraction of lavender flowers. Unlike typical essential oils that are usually steam-distilled, this method allows for a richer fragrance profile, capturing more of the plant's natural complexity and beneficial compounds. It provides a sweeter, floral aroma that is more intense than conventional lavender oil and retains many of the therapeutic properties associated with lavender.
Production Process
The production of lavender absolute involves the careful extraction of oils from the lavender flowers using solvents. The flowers are harvested at their peak, ensuring the highest concentration of aromatic compounds. After extraction, the solvent is removed, resulting in a viscous, aromatic substance that is characteristic of lavender absolute. This production method preserves various delicate notes that may be lost in traditional distillation.
Effects and Functions
Lavender absolute is renowned for its calming and soothing effects. It can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to improve their mental health. This oil is also known to aid in better sleep quality, reducing insomnia and promoting restfulness. In addition, lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for soothing minor skin irritations.
Application Scenarios
This versatile oil can be applied in numerous scenarios. In aromatherapy, lavender absolute can be diffused to create a calming ambiance in a room. It is often used in personal care products, like lotions and perfumes, for its delightful scent and skin-soothing properties. Additionally, it can be blended with carrier oils for massage therapy or added to bath water for a relaxing soak. Lavender absolute also finds its place in natural cleaning products due to its pleasant fragrance and antibacterial qualities.

Lavender absolute is primarily sourced from regions with optimal growing conditions for lavender, particularly in France and Bulgaria. The plants thrive in well-drained soil and a sunny climate, leading to high-quality blooms that are rich in essential oils.
