This is a wonderful lavender...Nobody should be without this oil . Great in blends for mature skin. Offers immediate relief for burns, and helps stop the pain from a bad bruise.
I love the scent and the price is unbelievable.

If something happens and I am not sure which oil to use, I use this one. I recently have a sever grease burn on my pointer finger and put this on right away. It burned a little but healed within a week with no scars or infection. I wish I could get this by the gallon!

I didn't know that I liked lavender. Obviously, I just needed to get a really good product like the Lavender Population to find out the truth-I DO like it! Thanks for the great product. I add a few drops to the laundry when I wash, it smells so nice.

A bit more assertive version of lavender, it would be more relaxing if it were smoother. I do like the spicy edge, but will investigate NDA's other lavender EOs to see if I can find the precise lavender I want.

By FAR the best lavender EO I have ever smelled. I have come across so many lavenders that have a funky after-smell, or even a chemical smell you get in conjunction with the actual lavender scent. This stuff is light, yet full...never overpowering and GREAT in tandem with the Lemon 5-Fold!!!

This is my favorite lavender oils compared to other ones. Of course, I like other lavender oils ND carries, but this is the most floral and the sweetest of lavender oils. It's a romantic oil more than a relaxing oil if that makes any sense.

This is the best lavender! I've been looking for a nice, strong smelling lavender for a few months and ordered this one hoping it would be better than what I've been able to find locally. I wish I had ordered more than 1/2oz!

Lavender Population is marvelous! I used it along with carrot seed and cypress in my glacial clay mask - it was wonderful for my skin. I love to inhale the lavender. It is very relaxing and comforting. I enjoy rubbing some lavender on the bottoms of my feet just before going to bed. The fragrance is lovely and I sleep better. I appreciate so much the excellent quality and price.

This lavendar is wonderful. I know everyone loves lavendar but for me a lot of lavendar smells a little unplesant. This one has a lovely relaxing scent. Love it.

A staple in our first aid kit. I use it on cuts and scrapes, insect stings, etc. I use a drop or two on a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel as "boo-boo juice" for my daughter. Takes the sting out and calms her down in the process. I also use it in the bath, in a car diffuser for long drives, and in my all-purpose surface cleaner.

One of the great things about your company is that it is possible to try so many varieties of essential oils. This month I chose lavender population and mont blanc and both are fabulous! I especially appreciate that they are high on the therapeutic scale!

Absolutely beautiful and profound lavender aroma. A true therapeutic grade oil. Lavender is such the most useful of all of the essential oils and its properties are for so many versatile uses that the list could be endless. An aromatherapist can not be without this lovely 'essential' essential oil. I give this one 5 stars!
