100% PURE and NATURal

The CASSAN family remain the primary suppliers of essential oils for CASSAN, however, due to increasing demand, we have created a reliable supplier network of producers mainly from the region where essential oils are produced (Alphes-de-Haute-Provence, Drôme, Vaucluse).

Conventional and biological crops

Our relations with our suppliers are based on confidence and know-how. We also work with analysis laboratories to regularly check products supplied by our producers.
Some of these producers still use traditional harvesting techniques and distillations to obtain quality oils such as Lavender Fine AOP (“Protected Designation of Origin”). Today, these techniques are complemented by more advanced methods which ensure a faster harvest whilst maintaining the highest quality. This evolution allows production to be more competitive on the industrial market: washing liquid, detergent…

Lavender and Lavandin

These two species, though quite different, are usually mistaken for each other.

True lavender is an original species whilst lavandin is a hybrid- it was created after crossing true lavender and spike lavender.

When you walk in the region you can see true lavender plants scattered along the road side. Lavender is propagated from seed while lavandin is propagated from cuttings.

Visually, a field of lavender is totally different to a field of lavandin. Each lavender grain grows a different plant, leading to a variety of colours and irregular spikes. On the other hand, fields of lavandin are totally homogeneous, with more voluminous sprigs, longer stems and a violet colour.
