Lavender has been associated with cleanliness since the Romans added it to their bath water. The name actually comes from the Latin word, lavendus, meaning to wash. We all seem to love the relaxing, calming aromatherapy effects of lavender but it does possess anti-microbial properties as well.

Organic Lavender Spa Soap with Flowers

The lavender flowers are blended into the soap to provide a mild exfoliating property.

Lavender Body Lotion (8 oz.)

A light veil of moisture that soothes, rehydrates and refreshes the body. Rich in nutrients yet elegantly simple, this lotion is pourable and has a delicate, sweet, very light natural scent, a perfect base for the most luxurious essential oil blends. The certified organic herbal extracts help renew skin to a fresh, supple texture. The highest-quality natural food-grade vegetable oil of safflower is combined with super-hydrating and nourishing seaweed (algae) and healing aloe vera. The fragrance is a masterful blend of four lavenders selected from around the world to create the essence of true French Lavender. The "Lavande" scent which evokes the true, clean, fresh air scent of lavender is hard to achieve with one single oil. Without relying on single chemical constituents to achieve this note, we have naturally blended four distinctive lavenders to achieve the scent.

Lavender Body Butter (4 oz.)

An extra-rich nourishing and protective crème containing the highest quality shea butter from Uganda, healing herbs, health-food-grade fresh vegetable oils, natural vegetable waxes, and soothing aromatic lavender water from the Aromatic Plant Project. The healing and soothing ingredients penetrate deeply to help skin regain a fresh, supple texture. Developed to treat cracked, callused and parched skin.

Lavender Sugar Scrub (8 oz.)

A luxurious body hommage using our own Sevillano extra virgin olive oil, rich in the potent antioxidant, vitamin E, and other valuable nutrients, including oleic and palmitic fatty acids along with squalene and phytosterols. Our extra virgin olive oil is combined with healing butters of olive, shea, coconut and pomegranate in a base of finely-milled sugar for the ultimate in exfoliation.

Pomegranate extract of the seed contains more than 60% puninic acid which is a valuable conjugated linolenic acid. It also contains tocopherols, sterols and a small amount of squalene.

Gentler than salt, sugar provides a softer exfoliation suitable for more tender skin such as the face. The oils and butters work together in a sensual, fluffy soufflé to smooth away rough skin revealing skin renewed to a silky luster.

Napa Valley Organic Hydrosol (8 oz.)

Hydrosols, also known as flower or floral waters, mists, and distillates are produced from the steam distillation of plant materials. Our Napa Valley organic hydrosol is a product of our distillation of the Napa Valley organic lavender. Most refer to hydrosols as a by-product of the distillation process. We view it as an equal partner to our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil.

The hydrosol was distilled from the lavender varietal, Angustifolia, that is grown in the Western hillside of the Napa Valley. The lavender was harvested in July of 2009 and distilled immediately on the property. The organic lavender is distilled until the oil is gone...ensuring the highest quality of hydrosol is achieved.

This production is limited. Our yield this year was approximately 300 gallons in total.

Hydrosols have similar properties to the essential oil but are simply less concentrated. Because our organic hydrosol is truly steam distilled (not essential oil added to water), it contains all the beneficial components that the organic lavender has to offer. Our organic lavender hydrosol contains all of the essence of the lavender but in a milder form compared to the essential oil. This "weaker" solution makes them suitable for all different types of applications where the essential oil would be too strong. On average, a hydrosol contains less than 5% essential oil.

Our Napa Valley organic lavender hydrosol has an herby or grassy note which is indicative of it's authentic and therapeutic properties. It can be used as a facial splash or mist, perfume, deodorant or air freshener. More uses in our blog, "learn to love hydrosols".

We have simply packaged the organic hydrosol in 2 oz. and 8 oz. amber PET bottles. The amber colored glass is to ensure maximum protection of the botanicals.
