Lavender 40/42 Essential Oil
|
Botanical Name: Lavandula officinalis
Plant Part: Flower head
Extraction Method: Steam distilled (40/42% Ester)
Origin: France
Description: The plant grows to about 1 meter in height and produces long thin purple- blue flowers. The entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star shaped hairs that cover the plant.
Color: Pale yellow with a tint of green
Common Uses: Lavender 40/42 has the most floral scent of all the Lavenders, though it’s therapeutic levels are the lowest. Nonetheless, it is recognized as having some strong properties. They include as an analgestic, anticonvulsant, anti-depressant, antimicrobal, antirheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitoxic, carminative, cholagogue, choleretic, cicatrizant, cordial, cytophylactic, diuretic, emmenagogue, deodorant, hypotensive, insecticide, nervine, parasticide, rubefacient, sedative, stimulant, sudorific, tonic, vermifuge, and as a vulnerary. Lavender 40/42 is often the Lavender oil of choice for applications in soaps, candles, perfumes and cosmetics. The reason is that the 40 – 42 refers to the standardization of both Linalool and Linalyl acetate resulting in a very consistent floral scent.
Consistency: Light
Note: Top
Strength of Aroma: Strong
Blends well with: Most oils, especially citrus and florals; also clove, cedarwood, clary sage, pine, geranium, labdanum, vetiver, patchouli, etc.
Aromatic Scent: Floral, herbaceous, fresh with balsamic woody undertone.
History: Lavender has been used since ancient times as much for it’s perfume as for it’s medicinal properties. Romans added lavender to their bath water, hence the name derived from the word ‘to wash’ - lavare.
Cautions: Avoid high doses during pregnancy because it is a uterine stimulant.

Fantastic quality - I've tried this EO from many suppliers, but will stick with NDA from now on. For 40/42 it has a great floral scent, and less harsh herb notes than I'm used to. This grade is perfect for CP soap, and I also use it in all my other products: bath bombs, lotions, salts. The 3kg size is also very well packaged, no fumbling, no mess.

I couldn't believe the amazing smell when I sampled this product. I have been searching for months for a good supplier and a good price. I have found both. The quality has been very impressive!

Placed some lavender 40/42 on a piece of foam rubber between the cushions of my sofa in hopes my cat would find another place to sleep. Instead of chasing him away, he curled up in a comfortable ball and spent the day snoozing. My friend who was visiting, sat on the sofa and read the morning paper. She had never smelled lavender. "What is that delightful odor, it is so soothing and comforting that I don't want to leave the room." Even my husband, who never comments about my favorite perfume, said that he also had noticed a very pleasant smell. This lavender is exceptional, and deserves more than five stars. (I would be careful with the upholstery since this is an essential oil. I have a place between the cushions that doesn't touch the upholstery. )

This Lavender is simply the best for consistency in cold process soap making. I have compared other 40/42's and this is the best. All of their other Lavender essential oils are wonderfull as well.

I wasn't too sure about the 40/42 Lavender as I had ordered this in the past from some other companies and wasn't too pleased with it. But when I used New Directions 40/42 I was very happily surprised! I will use it from now on...love the price too. I use it in many blends for my cp soaps and in other products. A happy customer am I!
