Origin
Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract comes from the flowers of the lavender tree - native to the Mediterranean but now cultivated worldwide. Unlike lavender essential oil, Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract is made by gentler methods that are safer for the skin.
After harvesting, the flowers may be optionally dried to reduce moisture content. They are then steeped in hot water or glycerin to yield the extract. The final ingredient is filtered, concentrated, and standardized.
