▎Essential Oil Introduction

Santolina, commonly known as Lavender-cotton, is a perennial evergreen shrub that can grow up to 60 cm high. Its white stems are adorned with silver-gray, cotton-like leaves and it produces small yellow flowers. Despite its similar scent, appearance, and leaf structure to lavender, Santolina is not related to lavender. It is a member of the Asteraceae family and is primarily found in Italy, southern France, and Mediterranean countries, with some cultivation in the UK. It can tolerate prolonged high temperatures and drought, and the highest yield of essential oil is obtained when harvested before flowering.

Historically, Santolina was an important medicinal plant, widely used in France to repel insects from wardrobes and linens. It is also associated with feminine issues, particularly in relation to menstrual discomfort and emotional stress during puberty. The ketones in Santolina are hydrophilic molecules that can help ease the turbulent transitions of adolescence, supporting a harmonious growth process and personal development.
