Origins

Unlike true lavender, which grows on limestone soil, spike lavender (Lavandula stoechas) takes root in the siliceous soil of the maquis. Its showy flowers earn it the nickname "butterfly lavender." It was already recognized for its virtues in Roman times.
Spike lavender is harvested wild, by hand, during its flowering in April. For each distillation, we keep the hydrosol from the first half-hour, as this is where the active plant compounds are most concentrated.


Thanks to its many virtues, spike lavender hydrosol will accompany you through the four seasons, from winter discomforts to the first sunburns of the season. Its healing and astringent properties make it essential.


This floral water is particularly recommended for marked, mature, or oily skin, due to its purifying and healing actions. Its slightly camphorated scent will complete your beauty routine, both to refresh your skin in the morning and to relax you at bedtime.


Properties: Astringent, purifying, healing, anti-infectious, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, insect repellent, cleansing.


Areas of action: Combination to oily skin, marked/blemished skin, eczema, wounds, oily scalp, sunburn, insect bites, lice and tick repellent.

Wild harvesting: Lavender stoechas, endemic to Corsica, is harvested from selected, declared, and verified natural sites on the island each year. It is therefore Certisud certified, as are the essential oil and floral water obtained from it.

Distillers for over 30 years, our approach is aligned with the sustainable management of plants and the environment. Our harvesting method complies with the "Charter for the Harvesting of Aromatic and Medicinal Plants of Corsica".

Precautions for use

Hydrosols are gentler than essential oils. They have no intrinsic contraindications.

However, this does not exclude the possibility of you reacting to the active ingredients they contain (if in doubt, do an elbow crease test).

Storage: Please note, floral waters are fresh products. Their shelf life is therefore shorter than that of essential oils (approximately 1 year). To maximize it, be sure to store your hydrosols in a cool place, away from air, heat, and light.

  • Facial treatment +++

  • Friction +++

  • Massage highly recommended

Essential oils are powerful and complex substances that must be handled with care! If you are new to aromatherapy, please consult our advice page and seek guidance from a professional (specialist pharmacist or therapist) who is the only one qualified to provide personalized advice – these guidelines are not a substitute for a consultation.
