Tisserand Lavender Essential Oil 20ml
Lavandula angustifolia - Distilled from the flowers grown in France, lavender
is a light, clean and refreshing oil with a herby floral aroma. Ideal in massage
or the bath to soothe the skin and calm the mind. Blends well with bergamot,
clary sage and geranium.Tisserand's pure essential oils are either organic,
ethically harvested and wild crafted. Below is a definition of the three
categories: ORGANIC Certified organic essential oils are derived from plants
that have been grown without the use of man-made fertilisers, herbicides or
pesticides - instead using ecosystem management methods to maintain the health
of both plant and soil. There are no inputs such as genetic modification or
irradiation. The benefits of organic agriculture include no pollution of the
local air or groundwater and no toxic chemicals in the plant or its essential
oil, meanwhile maintaining the viability of the local environment. International
standards are set by IFOAM (the International Federation of Organic Agriculture
Movements), which also accredits many certifying bodies, for example the Soil
Association or French Ecocert. WILD CRAFTED Wild crafted essential oils are
derived from plants that are not cultivated, but are gathered from their
natural, wild habitat. Although they are not organic, they will not have been
contaminated by synthetic chemicals (pesticides, fertilisers etc.) and will be
growing in conditions favourable to the health of the plant. When wildcrafting
is done sustainably, a plan for harvesting must show that the harvest will
sustain the wild crop. ETHICALLY HARVESTED This denotes sustainable cultivation.
An ethically harvested essential oil is derived from a herb, shrub or tree that
is not harvested so aggressively that the species becomes depleted. As far as
aromatic plants are concerned, species depletion is only rarely a problem with
herbs (which are mostly easy to grow in quantity) but tends to be more of an
issue with slow-growing trees.
