Unlocking the Versatility of Lavender

A staple aromatherapy essential oil, lavender is replete with calming and comforting properties. For a boost of rest and relaxation, lavender is an easy go-to. While it can be deeply soothing as an add-in for your oil diffuser, it’s actually quite the versatile botanical must-have in many aspects of personal care and beauty. Here’s what you need to know about its good-for-you wonders. 

What Is Lavender Known For?

Lavender is best known for its floral scent that soothes the senses and offers calming aromatherapy. The lavender herb is native to the Mediterranean area, but you can more or less find lavender grown worldwide these days. To produce lavender oil, manufacturers usually steam distill the dried herb flowers. 

While a powerhouse all on its own, there are a few ways to make the most of lavender oil’s botanical wonders. If you’re partial to a deeper fragrance than traditional lavender, you can keep your eyes peeled for products with Bulgarian lavender, which offers a more herbaceous scent. For additional clarifying properties, we also love a lavender and tea tree oil combination — the perfect partner for lavender, tea tree oil is prized for its inherently cleansing benefits. Remember that if you’re using pure lavender oil, dilute it with a carrier oil (such as jojoba oil) before applying it to your skin. 

Ways to Incorporate Lavender Into Your Skin and Body Care Routine

As one of the most popular essential oils out there, lavender has been incorporated into many different products, from lattes and teas to lotions and bath soaps. You’ll also find lavender in a wide range of Desert Essence products. To enjoy the soothing benefits of this lush herb, you can check out a few of our favorite Desert Essence go-to’s with lavender and other nourishing botanical ingredients.
