Absolute oils are the essential
oils which are highly concentrated and have high potency. These Concentrated
absolute oils have high aromatic properties thus they are majorly preferred in
cosmetics, perfumery, and aromatherapy. During the postproduction processes
these oils are further concentrated to make their absolute.
Lavandin is an aromatic evergreen
shrub that is much larger than true Lavender. An evergreen woody shrub growing
to 3 feet high with green, narrow, linear leaves producing violet-blue flowers,
the entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star-shaped hairs
that cover the plant. The flowering heads are more compressed with a dull, gray
blue color. This hybrid apparently evolved naturally near the seas in Spain,
Italy and France. It is now commercially produced in these same countries.
Lavandin is used almost exclusively for scent. Many commercial manufacturers
use both Lavandin Grosso and Lavandin Abrialis as replacements for Lavender
40/42, but they have a much rougher, camphorous scent.
Lavandin is the Latin genus
referring to Lavender. There are about 39 different recognized species of this
plant. Countless variations have been produced due to the ability to cross
pollinate with other members in the Lavender spices. Lavandula was thought to
originate in Asia but the greatest plant diversity is found in the western
regions of the world.
Essential oils are produced in
the cells of aromatic plants and are held in specialized glands. They are
released from the plant and collected (concentrated) most often through steam
distillation (and sometimes hydro or water distillation or a combination
thereof). Distillation is a method of separating components based on
differences in volatile constituents in a heated mixture. Steam distillation
involves bubbling steam through the plant material.
Lavandin Essential Oil contains high levels of camphor which make
it a powerful expectorant. To this end, Lavandin Oil is a natural
treatment for the respiratory system to help clear congestion and excess
phlegm. It is particularly effective for bronchitis, sinusitis and otitis.

Comments
Abrialis and Grosso are the two
principal cultivars of lavandin grown for essential oil production. Lavandin
abrialis has the highest 1,8-cineole content, lavandin Super is the
sweetest and most similar to the oil from Lavandula angustifolia, and
Grosso has the highest essential oil yield. Lavandin is the natural and
artificial hybrid of Lavandula angustifolia and Lavandula latifolia.
