LAVANDULA SPICA CH LINALOL – Spike Lavender, Croatia
Spike lavender is usually more stimulating than officinalis with stronger camphor undertones. However, this one has a much higher percentage of linalol, and a lower percentage of camphor than normal, which makes it gentle on the skin. It still has a little sharper fragrance than the officinalis, but it is really quite delightful. I really like this one! I wouldn’t use it in sleep blends, but this is a personal preference. I would still use it in skin preparations like facial toners and steams, especially for mature skin. If you want a special treat, add 6 to 8 drops per ounce to your shampoo, hair rinse or conditioner. If you have sore muscles or tired feet after a hard day, add a few drops to your tub, or even better, a massage oil.
