- Product Background
- Nicknamed “blue gold”, LAVENDER has long been used for its aromatic properties in thermal baths and on linen. Native to the western Mediterranean region, it has become the emblem of Provence in France and its surrounding landscapes. This light blue or purplish-blue flower, in the form of small corollas grouped together in spikes, was highly appreciated for its soothing and healing properties. Although it was also used in Provence for medicinal purposes, today it continues to be employed worldwide primarily for its enchanting fragrance.

Technical Details & Test Data
- HPLC Profile
- Botanical Extract Manufacturing Process
- Lavender botanical extract comes from flowers. It is manufactured through plant extraction at 40°C, a 2-hour process using only green solvents, under agitation. The low temperature and short kinetics help maintain the integrity of the active molecules, while extracting the maximum amount of target compounds. The extraction solvent is a mixture of glycerin and water (50:50). The depleted flowers of lavender and impurities are then eliminated through filtration. Environmentally sound as it reduces energy consumption, this process preserves the quality of lavender botanical extract while keeping its denaturation to a minimum. Moreover, it is easy to formulate and compatible with water-based cosmetics formulas. Available in conventional form, lavender botanical extract is also offered in organic version.
