Lavender Essential Oil, 40-42, E. Europe

Lavender Essential Oil, 40/42, Eastern Europe, (Lavandula angustifolia), is a commerical grade Lavender that is very popular among soap makers.  For some reason the soapers like this harsh camphoraceous Lavender.  The product is obviously blended with Lavandin (as are most all Lavenders on the market with the 40/42 designation).  This is the same type of product that your typical commerical quality companies like FPI carry.  Soap maker love this Lavender, but we perfer a high altitude or wild crafted Lavender because they are much more floral and sweet.  If you are wanting a cheaper Lavender that come through stronger in the final soap product then this is what you need.  The 40/42 from France is a better product but if your shopping on price alone this is the cheapest Lavender on the market.
