Grosso lavandin essential oil is a versatile hybrid, valued for its relaxing, analgesic and antiseptic properties.


It combines the benefits of true lavender and spike lavender, which gives it calming properties (stress, sleep) while effectively relieving muscle tension and minor skin irritations.


A TRULY FRENCH ORIGIN

Grown in France, the plants from our producers are distilled either in the Drôme Provençale (fixed distillery unit), or directly in the harvest field (mobile distillery unit), then packaged in our warehouse in Isère.

Each batch is traced from the plot to the bottle, with analyses conducted by a French laboratory.

A LOCAL ALTERNATIVE

This locally grown plant can represent a relevant alternative to popular exotic essential oils.

Despite their natural origin, these can have a significant environmental impact (deforestation, pressure on biodiversity, carbon-intensive transport).

Here is an example:

Plant: Tea tree
Origin: Australia
Comparison: Tea tree possesses a generally broader and more powerful antimicrobial spectrum.

In contrast, lavandin grosso provides a relaxing and analgesic action that Tea tree does not have, while offering a local alternative for skin care (burns, insect bites) thanks to its soothing effect on pain and inflammation.

Please note: Each essential oil has a unique identity, and the same plant can also vary depending on its origin. The equivalences proposed here do not aim to fully replace exotic plants, but to explore complementary alternatives based on your needs.

This comparison is part of an approach to promote Made in France and Made in Europe products, while encouraging responsible use of oils sourced from fragile ecosystems such as Tea Tree or Ylang-Ylang.
