About this composition

This profile follows a peer-reviewed GC-MS profile for Lavandula stoechas subsp. luisieri essential oil. Seville lavender differs from common lavender because it contains necrodane monoterpenoids, especially trans-alpha-necrodyl acetate and trans-alpha-necrodol, with lavandulyl acetate, linalool, fenchone, and 1,8-cineole as supporting markers.

What we're still learning · 3 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The 1.5% max_dermal_pct is taken from a public IFRA 51 conformity certificate for Lavandula stoechas Category 5A leave-on use, not from a directly published subspecies-specific aromatherapy monograph for Lavandula stoechas subsp. luisieri.
Odor intensity 70 is an archive normalization from Eden Botanicals' qualitative aroma description rather than a directly published 0-100 measurement.
No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour data were verified in this pass.
