About
Lavender aerial parts (flower, leaf, stem) — similar profile to lavender flower alone, sometimes with a higher terpene load from leaves and stems.
Lavandula angustifolia flower/leaf/stem material is used as an aromatic and skin-conditioning cosmetic botanical. It has the same broad terpene profile as the flower (linalool, linalyl acetate, limonene, terpinen-4-ol, 1,8-cineole), though leaf and stem material can contribute somewhat higher proportions of 1,8-cineole and camphor compared to flowers only. EU Annex III fragrance allergens (linalool, limonene) apply with the same 0.001% (leave-on) / 0.01% (rinse-off) declaration thresholds. CosIng lists it for skin conditioning / fragrance. Oxidized linalool is a sensitizer of note. Overall dermal tolerability is similar to flower-only material; preservation applies if in aqueous juice form.
