02 / Ideal for
One oil.
Six honest uses.
Lavender earns its cabinet-cornerstone reputation through diffusing, skincare, bath rituals, and natural home care — anywhere a soft floral middle note adds balance to a routine.
Bedtime Aromatherapy
Three to five drops in a bedside diffuser run for 30-60 minutes before sleep. One to two drops on a tissue tucked inside a pillowcase. The most-reached-for evening aromatherapy oil for a reason.
Daytime Aromatherapy Diffusing
Three to five drops in a diffuser for daytime calm. Lavender bridges between bright top notes and grounding base notes — anchors balanced blends across most rooms.
Facial & Body Skincare Blends
Six to eight drops per tablespoon of carrier oil for the face, ten to fifteen for body. One of the gentlest essential oils in DIY skincare — popular in facial serums, after-bath body oils, and balancing moisturizer blends.
Bath & Foot Soaks with Salts
Eight to twelve drops mixed into Epsom Salt or Magnesium Chloride Flakes first, then dissolved in warm water. The classic evening bath ritual.
Pillow & Linen Sprays
Ten to fifteen drops in 4 oz water with an emulsifier (witch hazel works well). Shake before each use; lightly mist pillows and linens. Popular for travel and hotel rooms too.
Natural Home Freshening
Fifteen to twenty drops per 16 oz water spray with an emulsifier. The fresh floral aroma deodorizes surfaces while it cleans. The most pleasant DIY-cleaning EO.
03 / Why Provence lavender
True lavender, not lavandin.
Provence-grown, not generic.
Two distinctions matter when sourcing lavender oil. First: L. angustifolia (true lavender), not L. x intermedia (lavandin) — the hybrid is cheaper but sharper and more medicinal. Second: Provence, not generic origin — the climate and altitude shape the oil's balance.
🇫🇷
Certified-organic Provence origin.
Sourced from certified-organic lavender fields in Provence — the high-altitude Mediterranean region that defines the global standard for L. angustifolia. The fields bloom June through August and the oil is steam-distilled at peak bloom. Provence's climate produces an oil with notably softer character and higher linalyl acetate content than lavender grown elsewhere.
L.a.
True lavender (L. angustifolia), not lavandin.
True lavender is the original species. Lavandin (L. x intermedia) is a hybrid bred for higher oil yield — cheaper to produce, but with more camphor (sharper, more medicinal) and lower linalyl acetate (the soft-floral signature compound). For evening aromatherapy and gentle skincare, the angustifolia profile is meaningfully different.
25-45%
Linalyl acetate — the soft floral signature.
Linalyl acetate is the ester primarily responsible for the soft, sweet, slightly fruity character that distinguishes true lavender from sharper lavandin or rosemary. Combined with linalool (25-38%), the two compounds anchor the oil's calming aromatic profile. Provence-grown angustifolia consistently shows higher linalyl acetate than lavender from warmer or lower-altitude regions.
100%
Pure — no fillers, carriers, or fragrance.
What's in the bottle is steam-distilled Lavandula angustifolia flowering-top oil and nothing else. No synthetic additives, no carrier oils diluting the active material, no fragrance oils mimicking the aroma. Lavender is one of the most commonly adulterated essential oils on the global market — typical adulterations include cutting with lavandin or with synthetic linalool. GC/MS verification matters here.
GC/MS
Third-party batch verification.
Each batch is independently analyzed by GC/MS to verify the constituent profile (linalool, linalyl acetate, lavandulol, terpinen-4-ol, β-caryophyllene) and screen for adulterants and species substitution. Lot-coded for traceability — any bottle can be tracked back to its source.

04 / The science
Linalool and linalyl acetate.
The two-compound balance.
50-83% combined
The two monoterpene compounds that define true lavender
True lavender essential oil is dominated by two compounds in a near-balanced ratio: linalool (25-38%), a monoterpene alcohol, and linalyl acetate (25-45%), an ester of linalool with acetic acid. Together they typically account for half to three-quarters of the oil by weight. The ratio between them — roughly 1:1 in premium Provence lavender — is what makes the aroma read as "lavender" rather than as something sharper or more medicinal. Tip too far toward linalool and the oil reads as raw and rosemary-adjacent; tip toward linalyl acetate and it reads as soft and almost fruity. Provence-grown angustifolia consistently lands in the sweet spot.
The supporting cast rounds out the body. Lavandulol and lavandulyl acetate — named for the plant itself — add the characteristic herbaceous-floral signature. Terpinen-4-ol contributes a soft woody note. β-Caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene also found in black pepper, anchors the lower-volatility tail and gives the oil more staying power than most middle notes. 1,8-cineole (camphor-like) appears in trace amounts in true lavender; the higher it goes, the more the oil starts behaving like lavandin or spike lavender.
Practical implications. Lavender is one of the best-tolerated essential oils across most skin types and is non-phototoxic — no UV-avoidance window required. That said, modern aromatherapy practice recommends dilution for all topical use. While lavender is sometimes referenced as "safe undiluted" in older literature, documented contact-sensitization cases (particularly with oxidized oil) have led safety authors like Tisserand & Young to recommend dilution as standard practice. Cap tight, dark glass, and reasonable rotation will handle the rest.
Key Constituents (GC/MS Verified)
Constituent ranges below reflect typical batch profiles for steam-distilled Provence Lavandula angustifolia. The current-batch GC/MS report is available on request.
Linalool (25-38%)
The monoterpene alcohol that carries lavender's freshness. Also dominant in many other floral oils and one of the most common compounds across plant aromatic profiles. Contributes the bright, slightly herbal first impression.
Linalyl Acetate (25-45%)
The ester that softens linalool's edges and gives true lavender its characteristic sweet, slightly fruity quality. The compound that most clearly distinguishes L. angustifolia from lavandin or spike lavender.
Lavandulol (trace-5%)
Named for the plant itself. A monoterpene alcohol with a soft herbaceous-floral character — part of what makes lavender smell unmistakably like lavender rather than a generic floral.
Terpinen-4-ol (trace-6%)
A monoterpene alcohol also found in tea tree oil. Contributes a soft woody-spicy undertone that adds depth to the lower-volatility tail.
β-Caryophyllene (trace-7%)
A sesquiterpene also found in black pepper and clove. Adds slight peppery-woody depth and helps the oil hold its character longer than most middle notes.
1,8-Cineole (trace, <1%)
The compound that dominates eucalyptus. In true Provence lavender it appears in trace amounts; higher cineole percentages indicate adulteration with lavandin or substitution with spike lavender.
Safety note: while lavender is one of the gentlest essential oils with no documented phototoxicity, modern aromatherapy practice recommends dilution for all topical use. Documented contact sensitization (rare, generally with oxidized oil) has led safety authorities like Tisserand & Young to recommend dilution as the default rather than the exception. Consult a healthcare provider before topical or diffused use during pregnancy. Cats lack the liver enzymes to metabolize many essential-oil constituents — do not apply to pets.

05 / How to use
Pick your method.
Mind the drop count.
Three primary use methods. Topical drop counts stay within the 3% maximum from Tisserand & Young (2014). When in doubt, use less.
Topical Dilution (Maximum 3%)
Quick answer: 6-8 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil for face (~1.2-1.6%); 10-15 drops for body (~2-3%). Always dilute. Patch test first.
| Use | Lavender Drops | Carrier Volume | Approx. Dilution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facial serum (daily) | 6-8 drops | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | ~1.2-1.6% |
| Body oil / massage blend | 10-15 drops | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | ~2-3% |
| Scalp pre-wash treatment | 5-8 drops | 2 tbsp (30 ml) | ~0.5-0.8% |
| Add to existing moisturizer | 2-3 drops | 1 oz cream/lotion | ~0.3-0.5% |
| Children 2+ (with pediatrician guidance) | 5-7 drops | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | ~1% (half adult) |
Always dilute. While lavender is sometimes referenced as "safe undiluted," modern aromatherapy practice recommends dilution for every topical use — documented contact-sensitization cases (particularly with oxidized oil) make this the safe default. Suitable carriers: jojoba (face), rosehip seed (facial serums), sweet almond (body massage), fractionated coconut (roller bottles). Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use.
Diffuser, Bedtime Sprays & Inhalation
Quick answer: 3-5 drops in a diffuser for medium rooms; 10-15 drops in a 4 oz water + emulsifier spray for pillows; 1-2 drops on a tissue tucked in a pillowcase.
| Method | Lavender Drops | Base / Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small room diffuser | 2-3 drops | 20-30 min | Bathroom, closet, small office |
| Medium room diffuser (bedroom) | 3-5 drops | 30-60 min before bed | Bedroom — the most popular lavender setting |
| Large room diffuser | 5-7 drops | 40-60 min | Living room, open kitchen |
| Pillow / linen spray | 10-15 drops | 4 oz water + emulsifier | Add ½ tsp polysorbate 20 or witch hazel; shake before each use; mist lightly |
| Tissue inhalation | 1-2 drops | As needed | Tuck inside a pillowcase or carry in pocket |
Starter evening blend: 3 drops Lavender (middle) + 2 drops Sweet Orange (top) + 1 drop Patchouli (base). Diffuse 30-60 minutes before bed.
Bath Soaks & Natural Cleaning
Quick answer: 8-12 drops mixed into bath salts first, then dissolved in warm water; 15-20 drops per 16 oz water + emulsifier for cleaning spray.
- Bath soak: measure 1-2 cups of Epsom Salt or Magnesium Chloride Flakes into a dry bowl. Add 8-12 drops of lavender and stir thoroughly. Dissolve the salt mixture in warm running bath water. Never add EO directly to water — without a dispersant, the oil floats and concentrates against skin on contact.
- Soak 15-20 minutes. Pat dry rather than rubbing.
- Cleaning spray: 15-20 drops lavender + 1 teaspoon castile soap (or ½ teaspoon polysorbate 20) + 16 oz water in a spray bottle. Shake well before each use. Spray on countertops and bathroom surfaces. Avoid natural stone (granite, marble) — some EOs can dull sealed surfaces over time.
- Linen freshener: 10-15 drops in 4 oz water + emulsifier in a spray bottle. Light mist on linens between washes. Test on a hidden area first if fabric is delicate or stained-prone.
Bath blend variation: 8 drops Lavender + 4 drops Eucalyptus mixed into 2 cups Epsom Salt. A classic post-activity recovery bath; well-suited to evening routines.
06 / Directions
Dilute.
Patch test.
Keep it sealed.
Lavender is genuinely well-tolerated for most skin types, but it isn't a license to skip the basics. Four habits make this oil reliable across a 2-4 year shelf life.
-
01
Always dilute before topical use
Older aromatherapy references sometimes say lavender is safe undiluted; modern practice recommends dilution as the default. Documented contact-sensitization cases (rare but real, particularly with oxidized oil) are why Tisserand & Young set 3% as the recommended maximum. For facial blends, stay under 1.5%; for body, under 3%. The 6-15 drops per tablespoon range in the section above covers normal use.
-
02
Patch test before first topical use
Mix 1 drop of lavender in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. If no redness, itching, or burning appears, the dilution is workable for you. Re-test after long storage gaps — oxidized lavender can irritate skin that fresh oil didn't.
-
03
Keep the cap tight, the bottle dark
Lavender stores well — 2 to 4 years sealed — but the two enemies are air and UV light. The dark amber glass bottle handles light; you handle air by capping the bottle tightly after every use and not decanting into larger half-empty bottles. Write the open-date on the label to track freshness.
-
04
Children, pets, and pregnancy: the standard cautions
Do not apply on or near the face of infants. For children 2 and older, use at half the adult dilution rate with pediatrician guidance. Cats lack the liver enzymes to metabolize many essential-oil constituents — do not apply to pets and keep diffusing areas ventilated with an exit route for animals. Consult your healthcare provider before topical or diffused use during pregnancy or while nursing.
Good to Know
Lavender is a middle note that punches above its weight. Most middle notes fade faster than base notes — but the β-caryophyllene tail in true lavender gives it more staying power than oils like geranium or rosemary. That's part of why lavender works so well as a "universal middle" in blending.
The two real authenticity tests for true lavender are high linalyl acetate (25-45%) and low camphor (1,8-cineole under 1%). Lavandin and spike lavender both fail the second test — they read sharper and more medicinal in a side-by-side smell.
For aromatherapy use. Dilute before topical application. Keep out of reach of children. Essential oils are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
07 / Compare
True lavender vs lavandin.
And other floral options.
"Lavender" on a label can mean different species with different aromatic and behavioral profiles. This is how true Provence angustifolia sits next to the alternatives and the most-used companion oils.
| Oil | Primary Compounds | Aroma Character | Max Topical | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| True Lavender (L. angustifolia) (this product) | Linalool 25-38% + linalyl acetate 25-45% | Soft, sweet, floral, gentle | 3% | Bedtime, skincare, gentle skincare, universal blending |
| Lavandin (L. x intermedia) | Higher camphor; lower linalyl acetate | Sharper, more medicinal, camphoraceous | ~3% | Cleaning, gardening, cheaper substitute (not the same character) |
| Spike Lavender (L. latifolia) | Higher 1,8-cineole; linalool | Camphor-forward, sharp, eucalyptus-leaning | ~3% | Respiratory aromatherapy (not for sleep/skincare use) |
| Egyptian Geranium | Citronellol + geraniol 34-50% | Rich rosy-floral, herbaceous | 1.5% | Skincare blends; rose-adjacent middle note |
| Sweet Orange | Limonene >90% | Warm, sweet, rounded citrus | 2.5% | Top-note partner; the #1 lavender pairing |
08 / Decision
Is true Provence lavender
the right oil for you?
Honest sorting — lavender does most things well, which is exactly why it's the cabinet cornerstone. Here's when it's the right pick and when it isn't.
A Great Fit If You
- Want a soft, calming floral middle note for evening diffusing and bedtime aromatherapy
- Build DIY skincare blends and want one of the gentlest essential oils available
- Are new to essential oils and want a low-risk, broadly compatible starter
- Want the universal blending partner — lavender bridges across citrus, herbal, floral, and woody families
- Build DIY linen sprays, pillow mists, or natural cleaning blends
- Want GC/MS-verified true L. angustifolia, not lavandin or unspecified "lavender"
- Value the softer, sweeter Provence-grown profile over generic-origin lavender
Consider Another Option If
- You want a sharper, more camphor-forward "cleaning-lavender" — lavandin (not in our line) is the cheaper, sharper alternative
- You want a respiratory-focused lavender — spike lavender (not in our line) has more cineole and behaves more like eucalyptus
- You want a more intense rosy-floral character for skincare — try Egyptian Geranium
- You've reacted to linalool or linalyl acetate before — both are present at significant levels here
- You're pregnant or nursing — consult your healthcare provider before topical or diffused use
- You have cats in the diffusing room and can't isolate it — essential oils generally aren't safe for cats
09 / Build the collection
Lavender is the anchor.
These are the partners.

Essential Oil
Sweet Orange Essential Oil
The #1 lavender pairing — warm sweet citrus lifts lavender's floral middle into one of aromatherapy's most universally liked blends. Non-phototoxic, so daytime use is in.
Essential OilPatchouli Essential Oil
An earthy base note that grounds lavender's floral brightness. Together they create rich, complex evening diffuser blends and natural perfumes with real staying power.
Essential OilPeppermint Essential Oil
A cooling top-note partner that balances lavender's softness. Popular for post-activity massage blends and clean-air diffusing combinations.
Bath SoakEpsom Salt (USP Grade)
The classic lavender bath carrier. Mix 8-12 drops into 1-2 cups of Epsom salt first, then dissolve in warm water — the standard evening bath ritual.
10 / Safety & handling
Read this before
you open the cap.
Lavender is one of the gentlest essential oils available, but "gentle" is not "no rules." A short safety profile worth keeping in mind.
- Topical use: Maximum recommended topical dilution 3%. Always dilute with a carrier oil — older "safe undiluted" guidance has been superseded by modern practice. Keep facial blends under 1.5% and body blends under 3%. Non-phototoxic — no UV restrictions after topical use. Documented contact sensitization is rare but exists, particularly with oxidized oil.
- Patch test: Mix 1 drop in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil, apply to the inner forearm, and wait 24 hours before any broader use. Re-test after long storage gaps.
- Pregnancy & nursing: Consult a healthcare provider before topical or diffused use during pregnancy or while nursing.
- Infants: Do not apply any essential oil on or near the face of infants. Consult a pediatrician before any essential-oil use around infants.
- Children: For children 2 and older, use at half the adult dilution rate (around 1%) with pediatrician guidance. Avoid applying near the face.
- Pets: Cats lack the liver enzymes to metabolize many essential-oil constituents. Do not apply to pets. When diffusing, keep the area well-ventilated and ensure animals have a clear exit route. Consult your veterinarian before any essential-oil use around pets.
- External use only: Never ingest. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. The dark amber glass protects against UV degradation. Shelf life 2-4 years sealed; write the open-date on the label to track freshness.
- First aid: Eye contact — flush with carrier oil first, then rinse with clean water; seek medical attention if irritation persists. Skin irritation — apply carrier oil to dilute, then wash with soap and water; discontinue use. Ingestion — do not induce vomiting; contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or seek medical attention. Allergic reaction — discontinue use; seek emergency attention if swelling or difficulty breathing develops.
11 / FAQ
Common questions.
Honest answers.
If your question isn't here, contact our team at questions@greenwaybiotech.com.
Is this lavender oil organic?
Yes. Our lavender essential oil is 100% pure, certified-organic Lavandula angustifolia from Provence, France. It contains no synthetic additives, fillers, fragrance oils, or preservatives. It is steam-distilled from flowering tops and hand-bottled at our family-owned Madera, California facility.
What does Provence lavender essential oil smell like?
Fresh, floral, and herbaceous — the classic lavender scent with sweet, slightly camphoraceous undertones and a soft, calming character. Provence-grown L. angustifolia is known for its exceptionally balanced profile — softer and more nuanced than the lavandin hybrid, less sharp than spike lavender. As a middle note, it provides body and balance in blends and lasts longer than most other middles thanks to its β-caryophyllene content.
What is the difference between true lavender and lavandin?
True lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) — what we sell — is the original species, with higher linalyl acetate content (25-45%) that gives it a softer, sweeter, more complex aroma. Lavandin (L. x intermedia) is a hybrid bred for higher oil yield — cheaper to produce, but with more camphor and less linalyl acetate, which makes it sharper and more medicinal. For evening aromatherapy, gentle skincare, and universal blending, true lavender is meaningfully different.
Can lavender essential oil help with sleep?
Lavender is the most widely used essential oil for evening and bedtime aromatherapy routines. Research suggests inhaling lavender aroma may help support feelings of relaxation and the subjective quality of an evening wind-down. Try diffusing 3-5 drops for 30-60 minutes before bed, or place 1-2 drops on a tissue tucked inside your pillowcase. Essential oils are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition — including sleep disorders.
How do I dilute lavender essential oil for skin?
Maximum topical dilution is 3%. For face and neck, use 6-8 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil (around 1.2-1.6%). For body and massage, use 10-15 drops per tablespoon (around 2-3%). Add 2-3 drops to one ounce of existing moisturizer or lotion for a much lower (~0.3-0.5%) blend. Always dilute before topical use — while older aromatherapy literature sometimes references lavender as safe for undiluted spot application, documented contact-sensitization cases (particularly with oxidized oil) have led safety authors like Tisserand & Young to recommend dilution as the default. Patch test on the inner forearm before broader use.
Is lavender essential oil safe for children?
Lavender is one of the gentlest essential oils, but caution still applies. Do not apply any essential oil on or near the face of infants. For children 2 and older, use at half the adult dilution rate (around 1%) and avoid applying near the face. Always consult a pediatrician before using essential oils on or around children.
Is lavender essential oil phototoxic?
No. Lavender is non-phototoxic, meaning you do not need to avoid sunlight after topical application. It is safe for daytime topical use within the 3% topical limit.
What carrier oils work best with lavender?
Jojoba is excellent for facial use — lightweight, non-comedogenic, and a popular pairing with lavender in natural skincare. Sweet almond works well for body massage. Fractionated coconut is ideal for roller-bottle perfumes (long shelf life, smooth absorption). For bath soaks, use Epsom Salt or Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes as the carrier instead — mix the drops into the dry salt first, then dissolve in warm water.
Is lavender essential oil safe for pets?
Cats are particularly sensitive to essential oils because they lack the liver enzymes to metabolize certain compounds. Do not apply essential oils directly to pets. When diffusing, keep the area well-ventilated and ensure animals have a clear exit route. Consult your veterinarian before any essential-oil use around pets, especially cats.
How many drops are in a 15 ml bottle?
Approximately 300 drops using the standard euro dropper cap included with each bottle. Actual count varies slightly depending on oil viscosity and dispensing speed. Lavender is used in small amounts across most applications, so a 15 ml bottle stretches across many evening routines.
How should I store lavender oil?
Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. The dark amber glass bottle protects against UV light. Lavender has a 2-4 year shelf life when stored properly. Refrigeration is not required but will not harm the oil. Write the open-date on the label to track freshness; if the aroma changes significantly or sharpens, consider replacing the bottle.
Can I make a pillow spray with lavender oil?
Yes — one of the most popular DIY uses. Add 10-15 drops to a 4 oz spray bottle of water with ½ teaspoon of polysorbate 20 or witch hazel as an emulsifier (essential oils don't mix with water without one). Shake well before each use and lightly mist pillows and linens before bed. Test on a hidden area of any delicate fabric first.
Can I ingest lavender essential oil?
No. Our essential oils are formulated and labeled for external aromatherapy use only. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and are not the same as the herbs they come from. For culinary lavender flavor in food and drinks, use dried culinary-grade lavender buds instead. Essential oils are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
