Lavender Essential Oil High Altitude Wild Grown

The finest lavender in the collection. Valley of the Moon's High Altitude Lavender is a wild-grown essential oil steam distilled from Lavandula angustifolia vera, harvested at 1,600 to 1,800 meters in the Haute Provence of the French Alps. Wild grown without fertilizers or pesticides, this high-altitude lavender has an exceptionally high ester count, the compounds responsible for lavender's calming properties, resulting in an oil that is lighter, more floral, and more refined than conventionally grown varieties. Experience has shown that essential oils distilled from wild plants carry a fuller, more holistic aroma and are more potent in restoring wholeness in mind and body.
