Pure Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is one of the most popular and familiar essential oils. Best known as a calming oil to ease anxiety and improve sleep, lavender essential oil is also thought to soothe skin irritations with its purported antibacterial and antifungal effects.
Lavender essential oil is recommended as a fundamental oil to have on hand. It’s versatile, comforting, and pairs well with other essential oils to create customized blends. The oil is produced by distilling the lavender flower buds, capturing the steam, and condensing it into a liquid.
