About
Lavandin flower — the hybrid lavender, used aromatically. Pleasant and traditional, but the fragrance components are known allergens for a meaningful minority.
Lavandula hybrida (lavandin — the hybrid of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia) flower material is used as an aromatic, fragrance, and skin-conditioning botanical. It is rich in linalool, linalyl acetate, camphor (more than true lavender), and 1,8-cineole. Linalool and limonene are on the EU Annex III list of 26 fragrance allergens requiring declaration above 0.01% in rinse-off and 0.001% in leave-on. Oxidized linalool (hydroperoxides) is a significantly stronger sensitizer than fresh linalool, and lavender-family products are common causes of allergic contact dermatitis in fragrance-sensitized patients. No specific CIR review for the flower material; lavender oil has been reviewed.
