Lavender in an encapsulated format

Natur Tanya® LAVENDER OIL MAX contains essential oil from Bulgarian-grown lavender. The formula centres on oil obtained from the plant's flowering tops. The botanical name, plant part and production method are all important for identifying the ingredient precisely.

Why the lavender species matters

Lavandula angustifolia is an essential-oil-bearing plant belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. True lavender, spike lavender and hybrid lavandin are different plants, and their oils can differ in composition. Consequently, the complete botanical name provides more precise information than the general term “lavender oil”.

Steam distillation of flowering tops

During steam distillation, steam passes through the plant material and carries its volatile constituents. The vapour is subsequently cooled and condensed, allowing the essential oil to be separated from the aqueous phase. The resulting oil concentrates the plant's volatile components and differs in composition from dried flowers or a water-based infusion.

Linalool and linalyl acetate

Linalool and linalyl acetate are among the characteristic constituents of lavender oil. The oil is a natural mixture of multiple compounds, so examining a single constituent does not fully describe it. Researchers also use gas chromatography to analyse its overall compositional profile.

The importance of plant part and growing conditions

Oils obtained from lavender leaves, flowers and whole flowering tops can have different compositions. The growing environment and the plant's genetic characteristics can also influence its essential oil profile. These general botanical characteristics explain why the species, origin and production process are meaningful pieces of information when considered together.

Oil stability

Essential oil composition can change during storage. Studies of lavender oil have observed changes in the proportions of linalool and linalyl acetate over time. The tocopherol-rich extract included in this formula serves as an antioxidant ingredient to help maintain product stability.
