Organic Lavender Essential Oil
Everything you need to know about this ingredient in lip care.
Lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) is steam-distilled from the flowering tops of organic lavender plants. Prized for centuries for its calming and healing properties, lavender is one of the most versatile essential oils in natural skincare. It adds a gentle, soothing scent to lip care while delivering anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. Lavender is particularly well-suited for evening lip care routines, as its aroma has been clinically shown to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Scientific Backing
A systematic review in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine confirmed lavender essential oil's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. Clinical research published in the journal Phytomedicine demonstrated that inhaled lavender significantly reduced anxiety markers in study participants. Studies in the International Journal of Dermatology have shown topical lavender accelerates wound healing, making it beneficial for repairing chapped or cracked lips.
