What is the difference between Lavender essential oil and Rosalina essential oil?

The biggest difference between traditional Lavender essential oil and Rosalina essential oil is that Lavender essential oil does not have the same gentle ‘freshness’ of Rosalina essential oil. Rosalina can also offer respiratory support and aid with cleaning surfaces.

Rosalina essential oil also can be a good alternative to Lavender essential oil, if someone is getting a little tired of Lavender essential oil or simply does not like Lavender essential oil, Rosalina is a good alternative but with the same calming essential oil properties.

While Rosalina essential oil and Lavender oil share the same relaxation benefits, some people may find the scent of Lavender oil a little overpowering or simply dislike the distinctive smell. Rosalina essential oil, with it’s gentler aroma, can be more readily tolerated by those sensitive to the stronger Lavender, while also offering a completely different scent experience.

Is Rosalina Essential Oil just Lavender Essential Oil and Tea Tree oil mixed together?

Rosalina is a 100% pure essential oil, it is not a blend of Lavender essential oil, Eucalyptus essential oil and Tea Tree essential oil. It is a single Australian essential oil from a single native Australian plant. Rosalina is a unique, pure essential oil of Australia.
