About this composition

This Tuscany lavender profile uses the live Tuscany product page for origin and organoleptic direction, then applies a public Lavandula angustifolia specification sheet for quantitative composition ranges. The resulting profile stays within true-lavender norms, led by linalyl acetate and linalool with ocimenes, lavandulyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol, low cineole, and low camphor as supporting markers.

What we're still learning · 3 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 the cited public safety source reports no special precautions for lavender essential oil rather than publishing a literal numeric dermal ceiling.
Odor intensity 55 is a normalization from the Tuscany product page's 'rich', 'deep', and 'forever fragrant' organoleptic language rather than a directly published 0-100 instrument measurement.
No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour data were verified in this pass.
