Lavender oil isn’t just a pleasant-smelling liquid—it’s the result of careful, traditional extraction processes that preserve its therapeutic properties. Most lavender essential oil is derived using steam distillation, a time-tested method that ensures purity without chemical contamination.
Here’s how it works: freshly harvested lavender flowers are packed into a distillation chamber. Steam is then passed through these flowers, causing the plant's oil glands to burst and release aromatic compounds. The resulting vapor—a mixture of steam and lavender oil—is condensed back into liquid form and separated into two parts: lavender hydrosol (lavender water) and the essential oil itself.
