Product Description
The essential oil of lavender is produced using an exraction method known as steam distillation. The heat of the steam releases both lavender oil and lavender hydrolate (also known as floral water). They are then passed through the condenser, which condenses them both back into a liquid state: the essential oil floats on the surface, while the hydrolate retains the volatile parts of the plant and a fraction of essential oil.
