A Guide To Lavandin Essential Oil and Its Benefits and Uses

Lavandin essential oil (Lavandula x intermedia) is produced from a plant that's a hybrid of true lavender and spike lavender.

Lavandin is often used to adulterate lavender essential oil and sometimes even mislabeled and sold as lavender. That's an important reason to find a trustworthy supplier of essential oils.

Plant family: Lamiaceae

Production: Steam distilled from the flowering tops of the plant.

Aroma: Fresh, sweet, floral—somewhat more herbaceous and camphorous than true lavender but less sharp than spike lavender.

Perfume/Aromatic note: Top to Middle

Is lavandin safe to use during pregnancy? Consult a professional.

Is lavandin essential oil safe for children? You might not want to use it with kids under age 2. Consult a professional.

Cautions: Do NOT use lavandin on burns—it can worsen irritation.

Main components: Essential Oil Safety, 2nd Edition, lists three types of this essential oil: Lavandin abrialis, Lavandin grosso, and Lavandin super. They have varying components, though the main ones in all three are linalool, linalyl acetate, camphor and 1,8-cineole. A lavandin absolute is also available.
