Lavender Essential Oil, 100% Pure Steam Distilled, Classic Floral Lavender, Man in the Moon Herbs

The Lavender Everyone Knows and Loves. Perfectly, Consistently Beautiful.

If you've ever smelled something and thought that is exactly what lavender should smell like, this is the oil behind that memory. Lavender 40/42 is the gold standard of lavender essential oils for anyone who wants a rich, true, reliably beautiful lavender scent every single time they open the bottle.

My lavender 40/42 is 100% pure steam distilled, sourced from France, the spiritual home of lavender cultivation and the benchmark against which all other lavender is measured. Its scent is deeply floral and luminous at its heart, with herbaceous freshness, an airy lightness, and a subtle balsamic woody undertone that gives it a complexity and warmth that one-dimensional lavender simply can't match.

✦ What Makes 40/42 Special?

The "40/42" refers to the standardization of two key aromatic compounds - linalool and linalyl acetate - which are maintained within a precise range in every batch. The result is an oil with a remarkably consistent scent from bottle to bottle and season to season. It's the most floral of all lavenders, and the one that smells exactly the way most people picture lavender in their minds.

This makes it the preferred choice for blenders, candle makers, and anyone who values consistency in their formulas and products. When you find a blend you love, you can recreate it with confidence every time.

🌿 Essential Oil Safety

Essential oils are powerful plant extracts and should never be taken internally. If you plan to use essential oils in ways beyond those described here, or if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition, please consult a qualified practitioner or a trusted reference before use. Use with caution around pets, whose systems are considerably more sensitive than our own.

There are many excellent books and resources on essential oils and aromatherapy. I always encourage doing your research before working with an unfamiliar oil, and discontinuing use if you experience any unwanted reaction, as everyone responds differently. Please seek medical attention for any allergic reaction.
