Is lavandin the same as lavender?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"No, they are two different plants. Lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) is a cross between true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia). They both have a distinctive lavender scent, but lavandin is fresher and contains more camphor."}]}]}

Why is true lavender more expensive than lavandin?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"The difference comes down to yield. Lavandin grows at lower altitudes and produces considerably more oil per hectare than true lavender, which thrives best in the mountains. So producing the same amount of oil from true lavender requires more plant material and more land."}]}]}

Which lavender scent lasts longest in soap?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Lavandin and spike lavender hold up better in soapmaking than true lavender; their higher camphor content plays a part. How it performs in your product depends on your full recipe and process."}]}]}

Is all lavender certified organic?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Yes, all lavender in this category is SKAL-certified organic. You can download the certificate. Each delivery also comes with the analysis certificate for that specific batch."}]}]}

Lavender as a raw material for soap and candle makers, cosmetic brands, salons and practices. We supply three different lavenders; read below to find out what sets them apart.

The three at a glance

Lavender (angustifolia): the classic, soft lavender scent. Delicate in character and the most expensive of the three.
Lavandin (x intermedia): fresher and sharper, more widely available and therefore more competitively priced.
Spike lavender (latifolia): herbaceous and camphoraceous, the most distinctive of the three.

All three are SKAL-certified organic and 100% pure. For each lavender, you’ll find the product specification, safety data sheet and batch-specific certificate of analysis. Looking for larger volumes or regular supply? Request a quote.
