Lavender essential oil, extracted from delicate purple flowers grown in sunny and dry climates such as the Mediterranean, has a fresh floral scent with gentle herbal notes.
Lavender oil benefits
Humans have used lavender oil for thousands of years for its many therapeutic benefits. It’s perhaps best known for its calming properties—add a few drops on your pillow at night, or use with your aromatherapy diffuser, to relax you and aid sleep.
The sweet-smelling oil also offers skin-healing properties, helping soothe and repair delicate and sensitive areas, and hydrate dry patches. Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, lavender is also helpful for sufferers of skin conditions like acne and psoriasis. Use our lavender oil to make a simple facial toner then spritz it on after washing your face at night. Antioxidant-rich lavender essential oil can also help combat the presence of free radicals, which cause wrinkles and fine lines in your skin.
Your hair, too, can also benefit from lavender oil’s natural healing properties—it can promote growth, strengthen hair strands and increase shine for a thicker, fuller appearance. On your scalp, use lavender oil to nourish your skin and reduce dandruff.
