LLF Essential Oil: Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso'
Organically grown, hand-harvested, and distilled right here on the farm with our beautiful handcrafted alembic copper still -- ensuring the highest quality, pure lavender essential oil.
Lavandula x intermedia 'Grosso' is a hybrid lavender (lavandin) that originated in France in 1972. 'Grosso' essential oil is the most commonly used lavender essential oil in the bath/beauty industry and is great for use in soaps, salves, and other bath/beauty products. Grosso contains terpineol-4 and linalyl acetate which make it a good antiseptic and stimulating oil. It is especially helpful in treating skin conditions with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is wonderful to use in a diffuser to create a calming atmosphere in any room.
The Herbal Academy describes its benefits below:
"Lavandin may sometimes offer the best of both worlds, being calming yet strongly antibacterial, but that also means that it is a weaker performer than either one of its “parent” plants [angustifolia and latifolia]. Lavandins are primarily distilled for the perfume and fragrance industries
