Concern level
Low concern
Lavandula hybrida oil (lavandin oil) is a volatile essential oil obtained from the flowering tops of Lavandula hybrida. In cosmetics it is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and, secondarily, for its claimed antimicrobial and deodorizing effects. It is chemically a complex mixture rather than a single defined molecule, so molecular weight and pH are not applicable.
