The lavender flower is native to the Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, and Russia, but is now grown globally. The oil is extracted from the flower by a steam distillation process.
We use Lavender in our Lavender Foaming Hand Soap. It has a floral, fresh scent with hints of herbal notes. The scent is soothing and relaxing and brings you to a place of serenity.
There are many benefits of using lavender oil and that’s why it is one of our favourites to use it in our soap.
- Improve Sleep
One sniff of lavender and you can feel the zzz’s coming on. A well known benefit of lavender is that it helps improve sleep.
- Nourish Skin
Lavender oil is both an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it great nourishing skin irritation, including redness, burns, acne, eczema, and itchy skin.
This makes it a great oil to include in your daily routine as a foaming hand soap. We recommend the It’s Just Soap Lavender natural foaming hand soap.
