Description and Uses:
Lavandin essential oil is a hybrid plant; it is a cross between true lavender and spike lavender. The aroma of Lavandin essential oil is similar to Lavender, but slightly sharper and more penetrating. Many of the "lavender"-scented soaps, lotions, perfumes, etc. that we find in stores are made from lavandin.
Lavandin is a great choice for using in massage blends as well as in a diffuser during seasonal changes.
