Description:
Premium Lavender Oil production is not something one commonly associates with the country of New Zealand, however Lavender species were among the earliest plants introduced to New Zealand by Europeans due to its rich and fertile landscapes. Not all lavender oils are created equal and our New Zealand Lavender is very special.

Geographical differences create noticeable variations in the properties and scents of Lavender Oils around the world, with soil, aspect, climate, latitude and altitude all playing critical roles. New Zealand's lavender often comes from farms located in areas with rich local volcanic soil at a relatively high altitude and with a cool climate, resulting in a distinctive product with a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing, refreshing and subtle. 

New Zealand Lavender oil is non-irritating, so it is prized for use in creams and cosmetics, especially Baby products. Lavender production from New Zealand is relatively small compared to other major producing countries, so the limited amount of Lavender Oil that does come out of New Zealand is scarce and harder to source. 

Lavender Oil (Lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. It is great for winding down before bedtime yet has balancing properties that make it just as beneficial for boosting stamina and energy. Therapeutic grade lavender such as this is highly regarded for skin and beauty. The French scientist René Gattefossé was the first to discover the healing properties of lavender when he severely burned his hands in a laboratory explosion. Using lavender oil, he noticed a remarkable healing soon afterwards. Lavender essential oil has uses in culinary, cosmetics and medicine. Lavender is used in balms, salves, perfumes, cosmetics, and topical applications. Lavandula angustifolia has many medicinal properties, it can be anti-inflammatory, calming, sedative, skin healing and great for relieving headaches.
