Botanical Name: Lavandula officinalis
Plant Part: Flower
Country of Origin: France
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
Lavender's aroma is floral, herbaceous, light with woody undertones. Its unique aroma has a calming effect on the user. Soothes the spirit, relieves anger, could be valuable in manic-depressive cases.
The numbers in Lavender 40/42 indicate the linalyl acetate content; in this case, they indicate the product contains 40%-42% of linalyl acetate, a naturally occurring phytochemical found in many flowers and spice plants. Lavender 40/42 is generally a blend of various lavenders in order to get a consistent scent from batch to batch, with processors adding natural linalyl acetate to cover the smell of camphor or borneol components of a given lavender.
Most soapers seem to prefer Lavender 40/42 because it smells the way they believe lavender should smell and it's fairly inexpensive......about half the price of other, more expensive lavenders which are usually reserved for aromatherapy purposes. This is our best selling essential oil for toiletries.
Keeps insects away. Blends well with bergamot, chamomile, citronella, lemon, and pine. Flash point: 156F, OK to ship via air or ocean.

This is the best Lavender 40/42 I have come across. Not too overpowering and most importantly it holds extremely well in CP soap

I'm not a big fan of lavender, but this essential oil is very nice. I mixed it with citrus (lime and manderin orange) in melt and pour. The lavender give the citrus some staying power and enhances the scent. Great product.

I used way to much in my first batch of salt scrub so I added it to shampoo I use for my dogs and it really got rid of the fleas and ticks. I will use it more frequently.

This is one of the best 40/42s I've found. As other reviewers have noted, its immediate scent is more medicinal than the French or maillette varieties (dentate or angustifolis). I tend to use this one more for cleaning and home-healing purposes and less for direct body applications such as massages or baths. However, it is a great travel kit addition, especially when in the outdoors, as it can help with everything from cuts to whelps from poisonous plants to blisters on the feet (it also keeps the tent and backpack smelling nice, especially when the dirty clothes start adding up). This is cost-effective and highly useful, and C-G's price is hard to beat.

I've used lavender on my pets for years for everything from ringworm to tears in the skin. It's my number 1 first aide product for treating just about everything with them. Sometimes I will combine it with tea tree, Myrrh and grapefruit seed extract as well. Works super well with the dreaded "Florida sores". My horse had a bad one on her face that just wouldn't heal because of flys and gnats. I added a couple of drops to the sore and within one day the swelling was gone, within 3 days the sore had healed about 50% and I'd tried everything before becoming hooked on lavender. I've been hooked ever since!

I have been using the Lavender 40/42 from Camden Grey,in my CP raw goat milk soap for 2 years now, and it has been a best-seller from the very first batch that I made with it! Wonderful product with a wonderful price.
Anna Hamilton (Port Orchard, WA, US) | April 15th, 2010
I use this lavender oil in my goat milk soaps, and it is an absolute favorite both plain, and blended with lemon. Thank you so much for a great product!

I used to use Lavender from another supplier and changed to Camden Grey. I was able to compare the two and Camden Grey's lavender was much better than the one I used to use. I am in the process of changing my supplier over to Camden Grey!

The quality of Camden's Lavender essential oil cannot be matched...it blends very well with the other oils that I use in my hair sprays and the fragrance is very pleasant and fresh. My customers especially love my Lavender hair spray.
I have been purchasing my Oils from this company for about 6 years now. I am thoroughly satisfied with the product and the price.

I have been using Lavender EO in so many ways for many years. It is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal, so it makes it great for wounds, especially as it is one of the few EOs that can be used neat on skin. It is also great for use with those with anxiety issues, depression, or just general stress. Beyond that, Lavender has such a wide variety of uses that I consider it THE ESSENTIAL OIL in anyone's "kit".
