The Lavender plant is a woody evergreen shrub, up to 1 meter tall, with pale green, narrow linear leaves, and violet-blue flowers. The entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star-shaped hairs that cover the plant. Lavender has been used since ancient times, and the Romans added lavender to their bath water, hence the name from the Latin lavare, 'to wash'. Differences in soil, altitude, and temperature, precipitation, and seasons contribute to subtle changes in the scent from one lot of Lavender to another.
Lavender population essential oil, also known as Lavandula angustifolia population oil or true lavender population oil, refers to a specific variety or population of lavender essential oil derived from the Lavandula angustifolia plant.
The term "population" in lavender essential oil refers to the specific strain or collection of lavender plants from a particular geographical region. Each population of lavender may have slightly different characteristics in terms of aroma and chemical composition due to variations in growing conditions, soil, climate, and other environmental factors.
Lavender population essential oil is highly valued for its soothing aroma and therapeutic properties. This lavender is grown at a high pristine elevation over 3,500 feet, creating a highly exotic and complex lavender oil. Mellowed by the long daylight hours in high latitude, moderate rainfall and sandy soil, this lavender rivals the best of the world's great lavenders.

Skin Care: Lavender population essential oil is frequently used in skincare products due to its potential benefits for the skin.

Versatile in Blends: Lavender blends well with many essential oils, including citrus oils (lemon, orange), floral oils (geranium, rose), and woody oils (cedarwood, sandalwood).
Soothing Combinations: For a calming and relaxing blend, mix lavender with chamomile, clary sage, or frankincense.
Relaxation and Sleep: Lavender essential oil is renowned for its calming and sedative effects. It can be diffused at bedtime or added to sleep aids like pillow sprays or bedtime balms.
Stress Relief: Use lavender in diffusers, inhalers, or roll-on blends to alleviate stress and anxiety. It’s ideal for promoting mental clarity and relaxation.
Hair Care: Lavender population essential oil is sometimes incorporated into hair care products due to its potential benefits for the hair and scalp. It can help promote a healthy scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve the condition of the hair. It can be added to shampoos, conditioners, or used in homemade hair treatments.
Standard Dilution: Always dilute lavender essential oil before applying it to the skin. A typical dilution ratio is 1%–2% for most skin applications (approximately 1-2 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil like jojoba, almond, or coconut oil).
Neat Application: Lavender is one of the few essential oils that can be applied neat (undiluted) to small areas like bug bites, burns, or acne, but always perform a patch test first to ensure no irritation.
Soothing Irritated Skin: Lavender is great for soothing skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and sunburn. Use in creams, lotions, or balms designed for sensitive or inflamed skin.
Oil-Soluble: Lavender essential oil is oil-soluble, so it works well in oil-based products like body oils, creams, balms, and serums. If adding to water-based formulations, use a solubilizer or emulsifier.
Stable in Formulations: Lavender oil is relatively stable, but exposure to heat, light, and air can degrade its quality over time. Always store in dark, airtight containers.
