From the sun-washed fields of the Bulgarian mountains comes one of the most exquisite and therapeutic floral extracts in the world — Bulgarian Lavender CO₂ Total Extract.
Distinguished by its remarkable depth, balance, and purity, this extract captures the true aromatic identity of Lavandula angustifolia, a plant revered for centuries as the flower of serenity and healing.
Lavender has been revered since ancient times — from Roman baths and Egyptian temples to medieval apothecaries.
In Bulgaria, lavender replaced roses as a national aromatic treasure, thanks to its purity and remarkable yield.
For centuries, its scent has symbolized tranquility, cleanliness, and divine grace, bringing harmony to both sacred and domestic spaces.
Today, its CO₂ total Extract stands as the most authentic expression of lavender’s timeless magic — bridging traditional healing with modern natural luxury.
While steam-distilled lavender oil is widely known, CO₂ extraction produces a richer, more complete essence. This advanced process preserves both the volatile and non-volatile aromatic compounds — yielding a smoother, warmer, and more luxurious version of lavender’s timeless fragrance.
The result is a golden, velvety absolute that mirrors the living flower itself: sweet, herbaceous, floral, and profoundly comforting.

Formulation & Usage
A total CO₂ extract may contain a broader volatile and non-volatile fraction than a distilled oil, but the actual composition is batch- and process-specific.
Formulation Checks
- Material identity: Use CO₂ total extract consistently; confirm whether the supplier calls it an extract or absolute
- Batch chemistry: Verify possible waxes, coumarins, esters and volatile constituents with the matching COA
- Appearance: Resolve golden versus greenish and set a release specification
- Topical use: Treat existing 0.3–1% and other ranges as proposals until supported by exact safety data
- Perfumery: Reject the generic 10% IFRA statement; use the current certificate for the exact material and category
- Stability: Assess solubility, colour, odour and packaging compatibility
