Lavender Essential Oil (Bulgarian)

Bulgarian lavender essential oil is steam-distilled from the flowers of Lavandula angustifolia grown in Bulgaria — one of the world’s premier lavender-producing regions. Bulgarian lavender is distinguished from blended or standardized lavender (such as Lavender 40/42) by its naturally richer, fruitier, and more complex floral profile with minimal camphor. The oil’s primary constituents — linalool and linalyl acetate — are responsible for its well-documented calming, anxiolytic, and skin-supportive properties.
