Lavender Sea Salt Soak

We have combined sea salt from the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to ensure the most luxurious base for our Lavender Sea Salt Soak.

Both salts are high in mineral content and low in moisture content. The minerals in the sea salt assist in cleansing, detoxifying, and restoring a healthy balance to your skin and muscles. The low moisture content allows for easy absorption of the essential oils…that are then released in the bath water as salts dissolve.

The salts are christened with a blend of our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil and our organic lemon essential oil. The organic lemon essential oil is the same oil that is used in our lemon extra virgin olive oil. The combination of the two oils gives healing, peace, clarity, heightened intuition, refreshment to spirit and strength to the soul…

Our Lavender Sea Salt Soak is produced in small batches in our production facility in the Napa Valley. It is simply packaged in a mini and 16oz. reusable Weck jar.

Napa Valley Organic Lavender Essential Oil

We are proud to present the first production of our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil.

The lavender varietal, Angustifolia, is grown in the Western hillside of the Napa Valley by the Kahn Family. The lavender was harvested in July of 2009 and distilled immediately on the property. The stems are cut high so the distillation comes mainly from the flowers. The flowers are only distilled once to ensure the highest grade of essential oil and hydrosol is achieved.

This production is very limited. Our yield this year was approximately 10 gallons in total. We have simply packaged the essential oil in 1/2oz. amber bottles. The amber colored glass is to ensure maximum protection of the botanicals.

The Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil is used in our bath salts, teas and soy candles and is blended with French and Bulgarian lavender essential oils to achieve the lavender essential oil signature blend that we use with all of our other bath and body products.

Napa Valley Organic Lavender Hydrosol

Hydrosols, also known as flower or floral waters, mists, and distillates are produced from the steam distillation of plant materials. Our Napa Valley organic hydrosol is a product of our distillation of the Napa Valley organic lavender. Most refer to hydrosols as a by-product of the distillation process. We view it as an equal partner to our Napa Valley organic lavender essential oil.

The hydrosol was distilled from the lavender varietal, Angustifolia, that is grown in the Western hillside of the Napa Valley. The lavender was harvested in July of 2009 and distilled immediately on the property. The organic lavender is distilled until the oil is gone…ensuring the highest quality of hydrosol is achieved.

This production is limited. Our yield this year was approximately 300 gallons in total.

Hydrosols have similar properties to the essential oil but are simply less concentrated. Because our organic hydrosol is truly steam distilled(not essential oil added to water), it contains all the beneficial components that the organic lavender has to offer. Our organic lavender hydrosol contains all of the essence of the lavender but in a milder form compared to the essential oil. This “weaker” solution makes them suitable for all different types of applications where the essential oil would be too strong. On average, a hydrosol contains less than 5% essential oil.

Our Napa Valley organic lavender hydrosol has an herby or grassy note which is indicative of it’s authentic and therapeutic properties. It can be used as a facial splash or mist, perfume, deodorant or air freshener. More uses in our blog, “learn to love hydrosols”.

We have simply packaged the organic hydrosol in 2 oz. and 8 oz. amber PET bottles. The amber color is to ensure maximum protection of the botanicals.

Napa Valley Organic Lavender Bundle – Hidcote Varietal

Since the middle ages, the lavender varietal, Hidcote, has been known as the herb of love.

Our Napa Valley organic lavender, Hidcote varietal, was harvested in July 2009 from the western hills of the Napa Valley. The Kahns grew a small amount of the english varietal specifically for our bundles. Hidcote’s deep violet flowers are strongly scented but truly known for retaining their vibrant color. It’s my favorite varietal to double as a decoration and perfume for any room of the house.

The organic lavender is cut and bundled on the Kahn Ranch. They are wrapped in twine and tagged in our production facility in the Napa Valley.

Our total production this harvest is approximately 1200 bundles.
