Cultivated and steam-distilled in New Zealand, Zurma’s Pacific Blue Lavender is a premium botanical extraction recognised for its notably clean and well-rounded olfactive profile. This specific Lavandula angustifolia cultivar yields an oil that is deeply sweet, rich, and floral, grounded by a soft herbaceous character and distinguished by a near-total absence of sharp camphor notes.

Within clinical aromatherapy and natural perfumery, the Pacific Blue cultivar is highly regarded for its aromatic purity. It functions as a highly effective, soothing botanical active for skin formulations and serves as a beautifully balanced top-to-middle note when creating bespoke botanical fragrances.

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The Pacific Blue cultivar is characterised by a high concentration of linalyl acetate and linalool [1]. These specific volatile compounds are widely documented in clinical literature for their reliable nervine and mild sedative properties [2], as well as their capacity to support the structural recovery of compromised skin barriers [3]. For targeted cosmetic use, diluting this oil at 1% to 2% in a nourishing carrier provides a gentle, soothing application for irritated or dry skin. For atmospheric use, diffusing 3–4 drops helps cultivate a serene, relaxing environment; it acts as a highly effective companion for evening routines, actively supporting healthy sleep hygiene and reducing the physical manifestations of daily stress.

Technical Specifications & Botanical Identity:

Product Type: 100% Pure Essential Oil

INCI Name: Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) Oil

Botanical Name: Lavandula angustifolia var. Pacific Blue

Country of Origin: New Zealand

Plant Part Processed: Flowering Tops

Extraction Method: Steam Distillation

Perfumery Note: Top to Middle Note

Aroma Profile: Sweet, rich floral, and lightly herbaceous with negligible camphor

Formulation & Safety Guidelines:

Application: Designed for cosmetic formulation, fine perfumery, ambient scenting, and targeted dermal application when correctly diluted.

Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety: According to International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards, Lavandula angustifolia is currently unrestricted for dermal use. However, adhering to standard safety guidelines outlined by authoritative safety texts, a maximum cosmetic dilution of 1% to 2% in a suitable lipid carrier or emulsion is recommended for topical applications to prevent sensitisation [1].

Storage & Degradation: To preserve the delicate ester content and prevent the natural oxidation of primary constituents (which can lead to acquired skin sensitisation over time), ensure the bottle is kept tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark environment away from direct UV exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Critical Warnings:
- For external cosmetic and atmospheric use only.

- Do not ingest under any circumstances.

- Do not apply undiluted directly to the skin.

- If you are pregnant, nursing, or managing specific medical conditions, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner prior to regular application.

Zurma Essential Oils - Highest Quality Pure and Natural
At Zurma we go to great lengths to ensure that we only sell the highest quality pure and natural essential oils. We have searched the world for the best essential oils. Our in-house quality control system ensures that this high standard is maintained for all our essential oils. Every essential oil comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) test to confirm that they are genuine and authentic essential oils containing their correct active constituents.

The only exception to this is with the New Zealand small scale essential oil producers we buy direct from e.g., Lavender, Mānuka, Kānuka, Tea Tree etc. This is because we know and trust these growers who distil their own essential oils.

Finally, all essential oils have to undergo our own in-house smell, appearance and feel test and if they are not up to our high standards, we simply send the product back to the supplier. Based on this quality control process we believe that the 100% Pure and Natural essential oils that Zurma supplies to our customers are of the highest quality and are excellent for use in aromatherapy.

General Essential Oil Safety Recommendations
Do not take essential oils internally unless under advisement by a qualified medical professional.
Do not use essential oils undiluted on the skin. It is always best to try a small patch test first of the diluted essential oil.
People who are pregnant or have serious medical problems are advised to consult with a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using essential oils.
Use extreme caution when using essential oils with children. It is safest to consult with a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using essential oils with children.
