What Is Lavender Oil?
Lavender oil is a valuable volatile plant oil obtained by steam distillation from the fresh flowers of the Lavandula angustifolia plant, native to the Mediterranean basin. For centuries it has been held in high regard in the beauty world both for its unique, pleasant scent and for its relieving cosmetic effects on the skin. At Lacinia we carefully include this pure, aromatic component nature offers in our formulas with the aim of refreshing and softening the skin. Thanks to natural aromatic compounds such as linalool and linalyl acetate, lavender oil offers a rich profile that supports not only the senses but also the smooth look of the skin.
Benefits in Skincare
Lavender oil's most notable cosmetic effect on the skin is the deep calm and unique feeling of freshness it gives. It refreshes skin left under the influence of tiredness and environmental factors through the day, bringing it a natural radiance. The main benefits of Lacinia products containing lavender oil that you might add to your cosmetic routine are as follows:
- It gently soothes the skin, softens it intensively and instantly refreshes tired-looking skin texture.
- Thanks to its natural antioxidant content, it nourishes the skin and helps it achieve a livelier, more energetic appearance.
- With its pleasant, natural aroma it provides sensory relief during application, turning a skincare routine into a refined experience.
How Is It Used?
Because lavender oil is a very concentrated plant extract, it is offered for use in its safest form, diluted with carrier oils or moisturising creams within cosmetic products. You can apply Lacinia's lavender products to your cleansed skin with gentle circular massaging movements. Choosing it in night care routines in particular, thanks to its calming scent profile, lets you moisturise and nourish your skin overnight.
Who Can Use It?
Lavender oil is generally highly suited to the daily cosmetic use of normal, combination and oily skin. Anyone looking for freshness, vitality and a velvety softness in their skin, and who also wants to experience nature's aromatic scents in their skincare, can benefit from this valuable ingredient.
Points to Keep in Mind
Because volatile plant oils hold concentrated components, if you have very sensitive or reactive skin you must test on a small area of your skin before use. Although Lacinia products are formulated at ideal ratios, avoiding direct contact with thin-skinned areas such as around the eyes is the correct cosmetic approach.
