Lavender Oil  Lavandula angustifolia

Lavender oil has been cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, cooking, and as a perfume. Today, Lavender essential oil is considered a must-have oil due to its rich, versatile uses. When used topically, Lavender oil has a cooling and soothing effect and can improve the look of healthy skin. Aromatically, Lavender oil produces a powdery, floral scent famed for its relaxing qualities.

Description

Why should I add Lavender oil to my collection? Lavender essential oil contains high amounts of linalool, a chemical constituent that gives Lavender its soothing, floral aroma and topical cleansing benefits. The addition of linalyl acetate also contributes to the relaxing aroma of Lavender oil.
