Lavandin Grosso is a hybrid of True Lavender and Lavender Spike. It is a very hearty species which produces double the amount of oil of True Lavender and is well suited for large scale production at lower cost. Lavandin does not have as nice of relaxation qualities of Lavender but its clean floral scent and low cost make it a popular essential oil especially among soap makers. It is more similar to Lavender Spike in use. It’s useful in respiratory burner and vapor blends, disinfecting and deodorizing, acne, hair tonics and is an even more effective insect repellent. As a general rule, we like Lavandin in soaps, shampoos, deodorizers, disinfectants, daytime air fresheners and we like True Lavenders for full body massage, to condition the face and skin and for night time relaxation formulas.
