A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY
Using it thoughtfully
Read the full safety context before bringing this oil into your routine.
- Cited dermal maximum · leave-on
- No restriction cited
- Phototoxicity
- Not flagged in this profile
- Oxidation risk
- medium
A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.
No furocoumarin-based phototoxic restriction was identified for steam-distilled lavandin grosso oil from Oregon in the consulted public sources.
Contraindications & cautions
- moderateAs with other lavandins, the more camphoraceous Grosso profile warrants more caution than true lavender for children and facial use.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
This Oregon-origin lavandin grosso record uses a live Oregon farm product page for provenance and process, while the quantitative composition follows the verified Grosso cultivar envelope because no public Oregon farm GC/MS certificate was located in this pass. Grosso remains a camphoraceous lavandin with linalool and linalyl acetate as the dominant markers.

A TRADITION OF BOTANICAL CURIOSITY
Traditional & reported uses
These uses reflect the profile's reported traditions and literature. They are not established treatment recommendations.
- traditionally used in aromatherapy for relaxation and calming diffuser blends, similar to lavender
- reported to support restful sleep and easing of occasional tension
- used widely in perfumery, soaps, and household products for its fresh, camphoraceous-floral facet
- used in massage blends for muscle comfort and a soothing sensory profile
- traditionally associated with general stress relief in everyday aromatherapy use
- reported to be used in linen and room sprays for a clean, calming atmosphere

What we're still learning · 4 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- max_dermal_pct 100 reflects the archive's unrestricted-oil convention because no public numeric dermal maximum for lavandin grosso was verified in this pass; the missing source type is a primary safety monograph or transcribed Tisserand and Young lavandin entry.
- A public Oregon farm GC/MS or specification sheet was not located in this pass, so the constituent percentages use the verified Grosso cultivar envelope rather than an Oregon-specific batch certificate; the missing source type is an Oregon grower COA or GC/MS report.
- Odor intensity 75 is a normalization of public descriptions of Grosso as strongly fragrant and more intense than standard lavender rather than a directly published 0-100 measurement.
- No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour data were verified in this pass.
