Health food stores, Walmart, Rite-Aid, Walgreens... any chain pharmacy should carry lavender oil. This is how the extract is produced and sold. Lavender has regained it's popularity after years of being an "old fashioned" scent.
There are several types of lavender oil from varieties of lavender; lavandula augustifolia, lavandula x intermedia, lavandula latifolia. All are considered lavender oil and have differing intensities.
Lavender is used extensively in aromatherapy to calm and relax, as an insect repellent, in perfume, and as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. You can rub undiluted lavender oil directly on the skin, but it is most generally added to a neutral carrying oil.

Places like Whole Foods sell extracts of many plants. Im not sure if theres one in PA, Im from Texas. You could also try soap or spa stores.

Good luck. It works for ridding your house of fleas. I also live in western Pa. and I was looking for it for that purpose. The Bath and Body Works shops don't carry it any more and I couldn't find it anywhere else. I had to resort to buying it online.
