About this composition
This record combines Biolandes Maillette technical and safety documents with Eden Botanicals' live Maillette product description. Public source material consistently describes Maillette as a clonal Lavandula angustifolia variety with dominant linalyl acetate and very low camphor, producing a sweeter and clearer bouquet than many standard lavenders.

- reported to support restful sleep and easing of occasional anxious feelings
- used in massage blends for muscle comfort and general relaxation
- traditionally associated with supporting minor-skin-irritation soothing in folk use
- used in perfumery for its sweet, refined, floral-herbaceous facet
- reported to support mood balance and calm in diffuser blends

What we're still learning · 4 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- Public Maillette composition sources located in this pass exposed broad SDS percentage bands rather than a freely readable batch GC/MS with exact percentages; the record therefore preserves verified range data instead of guessing narrower values.
- Odor intensity 50 is an archive normalization from qualitative public aroma language such as 'noticeably sweeter' and 'clear, crystalline bouquet' rather than a directly published 0-100 instrument value.
- No public source verified in this pass published a numeric leave-on dermal maximum for Lavender Maillette; max_dermal_pct 100 reflects the archive's unrestricted-oil convention because no special dermal restriction was documented in the reviewed public sources.
- No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour data were verified in this pass.
