Lavender Absolute essential oil is obtained by solvent extraction, whereas regular Lavender essential oil is obtained by steam distillation. The solvent extraction method involves agitating the flowers in a solvent such as hexane. This isolates the aromatic compounds as well as pigments and wax. The extracts then undergo vacuum processing to remove the solvent, leaving a wax-like material known as the ‘concrete’. This is mixed with alcohol to dissolve the aromatic compounds, leaving behind the wax and other substances. Low-pressure evaporation is then used to remove the alcohol which yields the final Lavender Absolute oil. This process results in a heavier oil which includes non-volatile waxes and plant dyes as well as the essential oil itself.

Lavender is a calming, soothing, antidepressant oil. It is known as an adaptogen which means that it helps to heal and restore any body systems that are out of balance.
