Lavender Oil

Lavender Oil is derived from Lavandula angustifolia, which is the scientific name of the plant commonly known as Lavender. The genus name Lavandula is derived from the Latin word "lavare," which means "to wash." This is a nod to Lavender's traditional use in bathing rituals and as a cleansing herb. The species name angustifolia comes from the Latin words "angustus" meaning "narrow" and "folium" meaning "leaf," referring to the plant's narrow leaves.
