Lavender essential oil is distilled by steam from the grown flowers of the Lavender plant. Lavender is one of the most widely known Essential Oils and has many uses, including skin care, aromatherapy, cooking, etc. We like the use of Lavender in both skin care and aromatherapy. When properly diluted, Lavender Essential Oil is one of the safest of all the essential oils. It is great for all over body products and some people actually use it in recipes.
Some benefits of Lavender Essential Oil:
-Most known as a calming, relaxing scent and can help promote sleep
-It can relieve tension, stress and anxiety
-Lavender in skin care is known to have antiseptic, antiviral, antibiotic and antifungal properties.
