This gives the soft, round scent that brings the typical calming effect with it. Lavandin (\u003cem\u003eLavandula x intermedia\u003c\/em\u003e) and spike lavender (\u003cem\u003eLavandula latifolia\u003c\/em\u003e) have a higher camphor content and therefore smell sharper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender blends beautifully with virtually all other essential oils, including citrus oils such as bergamot and mandarin, floral oils such as geranium and roman chamomile, herbal oils such as rosemary and clary sage, and woody oils such as cedarwood and sandalwood.

In this process, water vapor is guided through the plant material, releasing the volatile aroma molecules. The vapor is captured, cooled and separated into water (lavender hydrosol) and the oil itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of lavender oil depends greatly on the harvest time, the altitude at which the plant grows and the care of the distillation.

Lavender naturally contains allergens such as linalool and geraniol. When you combine multiple essential oils in one recipe, these allergens accumulate and you can quickly exceed the legal allergen limits. A working dosage of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without going over those limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, more generous maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert. Keep out of reach of children. When in doubt or with sensitive skin, always test first on a small spot and wait 24 hours before using it on larger surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Heroes","offers":[{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":18587168132,"sku":"LAVE-NH-1","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 ml","offer_id":27998963601,"sku":"LAVE-NH-2","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ml","offer_id":39672306761783,"sku":"LAVE-NH-SAMPLE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/6689\/products\/202-bottle-b-10-1KSQ-sRGB.png?v=1669367313"},{"product_id":"gedroogde-lavendel","title":"Lavender Buds - Organic (Dried)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are Lavender Buds?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender buds are the dried flowering tops of \u003cem\u003eLavandula angustifolia\u003c\/em\u003e.
