How is our lavender floral water made?

Our lavender water is produced by a traditional farming family who have been excelling at lavender water production for many generations. The lavender water is not only organic, but also certified AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée), a designation given to districts in France which are famous for the quality and uniqueness of their produce.

The purple-blue flowers are picked from July, in the mornings when they have developed the highest concentrations of active botanicals and then the flowers are dried before distillation begins. Our pure organic lavender floral water is intensely scented with a more enduring scent that other that we tested.
