Ili Lavender

Ili Lavender

　　Lavender, also known as spike lavender, has flower spikes from which an aromatic oil—lavender essential oil—can be extracted. The Ili River Valley in Xinjiang is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a semi-arid climate. Lavender grown here grows tall with abundant blossoms, yielding high oil production, with pure oil quality, strong fragrance, and excellent overall quality. It supplies manufacturers across the country for the production of daily cosmetics. The Ili River Valley is China’s primary lavender cultivation area, spanning over 20,000 acres, accounting for more than 90% of the national lavender planting area and over 80% of the total domestic production.
