Lavender, 40/42
Floral, herbaceous, fresh. Its oil production is higher, and of a stronger, more camphoraceous quality than a typical Lavender. Many products that carry the "Lavender" label are actually made with the less expensive Lavandin. Lavender offers a multitude of benefits and uses. It balances the mood, clears the mind, has a long tradition in skin & hair care as well as medicine and is used for many household solutions. Apply a few drops to a tissue and inhale, or place on your pillow for restful sleep. Add a few drops to your laundry rinse, your drawers, and the water reservoir of your iron for fresh smelling laundry. Blends well with almost everything; really nice with citrus notes, florals and herbs.
Lavender, Bulgarian 600m+
Grown at 600 meter altitude or above. Contains a higher percentage of Linalool, the sedative component in Lavenders. Very floral with only a slight camphoraceous tone.
Lavender, French Fine
The beginning of nice Lavender. Full floral aroma reminiscent of a flowering Lavender bush. A nicely balanced aroma.
Lavender, Spike
A more hearty plant versus true Lavender and the oil is distilled in France. Aromatically, it is a lighter Lavender and blends well with other calming oils.
Lavender, Superior
From Oregon, this is the highest concentration of Linalool in any of our Lavenders. If you're using Lavender as a night time sleep oil, this is the one.
Lemon
Therapeutically, the importance of Lemon was known during the Middle Ages, but is now commonly used for its sharp, fresh notes. It has been valued over for it's antibacterial properties.
Lemon Balm 3rd
An intense, radiant fragrance. Blends well with florals, citrus, and some woodsy tones. Similar to Lemon.
Lemongrass
Intensely citrus, with strong herbaceous undertones. Refreshing and rejuvenating. Stimulating and balancing. Its aroma inspires and brings fresh energy; clears the mind. Contains Citral, a strong sensitizer. Avoid use on broken skin. Avoid use during pregnancy. Maximum dilution for topical use: 0.7% (4 drops per fluid ounce.) Lemongrass blends well with a lot of different oils, "lifting" a blend to make it appear more energetic and lively.
Lime, Expressed
Lime essential oil has many of the same uses as Lemon Oil, but with a lighter, sweeter buoyant scent. The two, blended together, are delightful. This steam distilled version avoids all risk of photosensitivity so is wonderful for skin care. Try it in an aftershave, or a lotion for oily skin. Blends well with Neroli, Lavender and Lavandin, Rosemary, Clary Sage, and all other citrus oils. Blend with West Indies Bay for a traditional tropical scent! SAFETY: We offer only DISTILLED Lime oil because the cold pressed lime is one of the most powerful photosensitizers and should never be used topically. For your safety, we limit our offerings to the much safer Distilled oil.
Litsea Cubeba
Extracted from the fruit Litsea Cubeba, it has been used for its antimicrobial properties and smells herbaceous, yet lemony.
Lovely Locks
Treat your hair to this luxurious blend of Avocado, Coconut, and Vitamin E oils. This serum will bring those dull, lifeless locks back to their full potential, increasing the moisture, smoothness and shine back for the world to see.
Low John
Low John the Conqueror root. This oil is most likely a co-distillation and we cannot verify the purity of its contents.
Mandarin, Red
Warm, fresh citrus scent, radiant, fruity and tangy. Although closely related, Mandarin Orange is rounder and softer in aroma than Tangerine. Refreshing and rejuvenating, its aroma inspires and brings fresh energy. Do not use undiluted on the skin nor should you expose any skin that has mandarin on it to sunlight.
Marjoram, Sweet
This oil is soothing, warm and originates from a Greek word meaning "joy of the mountains". Used for it's warming effects and helpful towards respiratory issues.
Melissa
This herbaceous, yet citrus aroma is derived from Lemon Balm leaves and has its high price due to the small yield of oil from the leaves. The name comes from the Greek word for "honeybee".
Melissa, Rectified
A rectified, or redistilled version, of the Melissa. It is still the Melissa you love.
Myrrh, Moroccan
This myrrh cannot be verified as 100% pure essential oil nor is it therapeutic grade and should not be used as such. Use only for aromatic purposes.
Myrrh, Tunisian
This myrrh cannot be verified as 100% pure essential oil nor is it therapeutic grade and should not be used as such. Use only for aromatic purposes.
Neroli 3rd
One of favorite Neroli Oils. Easy to work with and it doesn't break the bank.
Neroli 5th
Neroli is distilled from the flowers from the orange tree over a 12-16 hour period. Neroli 5th is of a lower grade (and lower price). It is a lovely aroma and suitable for therapeutic purposes. Of course, the highest grade is fabulous but at a fraction of the cost, this Neroli 5th is a nice alternative. A light citrus floral that is uplifting, comforting, eases anxiety and depression. Lovely in the air or on the skin, this is one of our favorite oils. Blends well with Florals, citruses, a bit of spice and sandalwoods. Try our "Salire" blend to use in the diffuser, one of our most popular.
Niaouli
Niaouli is a strong antiseptic, antibacterial oil. It also has strong decongestant properties, which make it appropriate for treating head and chest colds. In addition, it helps clear the head mentally as well, since it has a stimulating and uplifting effect. For a daytime respiratory blend, try mixing it with peppermint, eucalyptus, and either pine or fir. A really energizing blend when you are fighting a cold and want to stay in bed, but can't.
Nutmeg
Sweet, warm-spicy, slightly peppery note. Smells just like the spice commonly used in cooking, a bit exotic. Comforting and soothing. Nutmeg is a valuable addition to many aromatherapy blends, adding warmth, spice and inspiration when used in very small amounts. Blends with Lavender, Clary Sage, Geranium, Rosemary, Petitgrain, orange, and/or other spices. Used in large doses Nutmeg has toxic effects, leading to nausea, stupor and irregular heartbeat.
Oakmoss
This is found all over Europe, along with the tree.
Orange, Bitter
This orange is dryer than sweet orange but blends nicely with woody aromas. Has more bitter and sharp notes.
