About this composition

This high-altitude lavender profile uses the live product page for altitude, origin, and odor direction, then uses a public GC/MS listing for the current constituent percentages. The profile is ester-rich, with linalyl acetate leading over linalool and supported by lavandulyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol, beta-caryophyllene, ocimenes, and very low camphor.

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 60 is a normalization from the high-altitude product page's 'great strength' and 'full bodied' 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.
