Lavender Oil

Description

Distilled from true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), this essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the flowering tops harvested at full maturity. Its fresh, softly herbaceous floral scent is among the most cherished in aromatherapy. Diffused, it is traditionally used to create a soothing atmosphere that invites relaxation and restful sleep. Blended into a carrier oil, it fits beautifully into relaxing massages and skincare rituals. A few well-diluted drops also find their place in hair and scalp care routines. Wonderfully versatile, it remains one of the most popular everyday essential oils.

How to use

An essential oil to always use diluted: add 1 to 3 drops to a spoonful of carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba...) before applying to the skin, roughly 1 to 3%. For diffusion, 3 to 5 drops in a diffuser for 15 to 20 minutes are enough. Perform a patch test on the inner elbow 24 hours before first use. Avoid prolonged, undiluted use. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women (especially the first trimester) or young children. Keep out of reach of children and avoid any contact with the eyes.
