Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between lavender essential oil and lavender water?
- Lavender essential oil is a concentrated extract of the plant's volatile compounds, while lavender water is the byproduct of the distillation process, containing water-soluble compounds and only trace amounts of the essential oil, making it much milder.
