The most popular essential oil in the world, lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) oil is considered one of the safest oils to use for adults and children, and scientific studies over the years have verified its many benefits.
 
Lavender essential oil is grown in many regions across the globe and is produced more than any other essential oil sold for aromatherapy purposes. Aura Cacia Organic Lavender Essential Oil is distilled from certified organic flowers in Bulgaria that have been picked at peak bloom.
 
Lavender is harvested annually near or just after the summer solstice. The flowers only bloom for about two weeks, so the harvesting and distillation is often done all day and night. Lavender is harvested with a combine and immediately taken to the distillation facility.
