Lavender Oil
Its herbaceous uplifting aroma reduces stress (1), inspires balance, relaxation, and tranquility. Not only that but when used in skin care at the appropriate dilution it showed incredible skin benefits in scientific studies. Lavender Oil has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties (2), and due to its major phytoconstituents: linalool and linalyl acetate it’s effective against oxidative stress (3), which causes aging and wrinkling. Carefully formulated to balance the skin barrier, and promote cell regeneration, it calms, and soothes irritated and acne prone skin due to its antimicrobial (4) properties.
