Lavender Essential Oil - 4 oz - Pure and Finest Quality. Supplied in 4 oz. amber glass bottle with white cap and built in dripulator oil dispenser.
PLEASE NOTE: This is pure lavender oil and is very strong. It contains very high levels of linalool, the constituent found to impart Lavender's therapeutic calming effects, but not such high levels of the floral lavender aroma.
