Absolute Aromas & every oil in the organic range have been certified by the Soil Association. Each oil can be traced back to the farm where the plant was grown through each stage of production & finally to the beautiful finished product. The organic range has been sourced from many reputable farms around the world. Absolute Aromas have visited many of the farms themselves in order to ensure that the high levels of quality & purity that have made Absolute Aromas stand out in the marketplace remain at the forefront of their company ethos. This lavender is grown organically in Provence in France. It is a “population” lavender which is grown from seeds. It is a fine lavender that grows at higher altitudes. The lowest field that this product grows in is about 800m & the highest is over 1300m. The high altitude lavender apart from its wonderful fine fragrance has a higher ester content making it an excellent therapeutic oil. To help unwind after a busy day try blending 5 drops of Lavender with 10ml of Peach Kernel oil add to a bowl of warm water & soak the feet for 15 minutes. For the finishing touch pat dry & massage in the remains of the blend.
