Organic Lavender Essential Oil: Uses, Benefits, and Blends

If there was a prize for the most famous essential oil, the top place would likely go to lavender. Straight from the sweet-smelling fields of the Mediterranean, lavender is good for more than just a pretty postcard. Our organic lavender essential oil can help calm and soothe the soul, whether you choose to use it in soaps, candles, massage oil, or simply your diffuser. We recommend indulging in some self-care by adding a few drops to your bedtime bath!

Interestingly enough, English lavender isn’t actually from England! This blend of lavender, botanically known as Lavandula Angustifolia, is commonly known as English lavender, despite being native to the Mediterranean. The most famous lavender fields are likely in Provence, France, where long, rolling hills of lavender stalks make the perfect picture. When it comes to lavender essential oil, you can find it in soaps, candles, and other DIY bath and beauty products.

Organic Lavender Essential Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes

Here are just a few of our favorite benefits and uses of this well-loved, versatile oil:

Aromatherapy 

The herbaceous, floral scent of lavender is perfect for soothing away worries. Lavender aromatherapy can help relieve unwanted feelings of stress, depression, and anxiety. For many years, lavender has had a reputation for being a natural sleep aid, helping to treat insomnia and regulate sleeping patterns. Though lavender is one of the more common essential oils, more human trials are necessary to understand its mechanisms and effects. Either way, anecdotal evidence indicates it is an excellent way to relax and promote sleep!

Soap Making 

In addition to its dreamy scent, organic lavender essential oil is also reputed to be good for the skin. Lavender fans swear by its ability to help calm inflammatory skin conditions like acne and eczema, and even sunburn. Add our organic lavender oil to soaps to enjoy its soft moisturizing effect, while enjoying its fresh, sweet fragrance. 

Organic Lavender Essential Oil for Hair 

Lavender oil isn’t only good for skin, it’s great for hair! A small study done on mice indicates that it can help promote hair growth, making hair grow longer and thicker, faster. It is an ingredient in many commercial hair care products, and many claim it also helps encourage sleekness and shine. 

Organic Lavender Essential Oil Blends

Lavender is one of those easy oils that can blend well in many different combinations. It acts as a middle note in a blend, which is also referred to as a heart note. This means it works to mask the potentially initial unpleasantness of the base note until it smoothes out. It is one of the more prominent aromas in a fragrance, which is why lavender is so popular with perfumers! Try blending organic lavender essential oil with frankincense, rosemary, sweet orange, balsam fir, clary sage, or grapefruit essential oil. 

Precautions

Essential oils are never safe to be ingested. Though many people advocate the use of lavender oil in food and beverages we never recommend this. This is because of the potency of oils, and the fact that they can separate and cause internal burning and irritation. Furthermore, it is not uncommon to be allergic to lavender and have the reaction take up to several days to appear. If you notice any signs of sensitivity or irritation it is best to discontinue use.
