100 Ml Lavender Australian (Tasmanian) Oil

Ingredients: Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Origin: Grown in the fresh air and clean soil that is the Tasmanian countryside.

 

Plant part: Flower head

Extraction method: Steam distilled

Common uses: Lavender essential oil has been known for its antiseptic, anti-microbial and analgesic properties. When inhaled through vaporised air lavender also acts as a sedative and relaxant, helping to reduce feelings of stress.  Lavender has also been noted for its ability to accelerate wound healing although scientific evidence to back this up is patchy.  Lavender has also been promoted as a topical agent for the relief of itchy skin after research found the oil may inhibit parts of the allergic pathway.  

Cautions: While Lavender Oil is widely known to be a safe and well tolerated essential oil (has a GRAS status) the oil can be oxidised and the bi-products of that oxidation process can be irritating.   Therefore it is best to avoid lavender in products containing peroxides.  It is also best to incorporate antioxidants and pack so as to avoid speeding up oxidation.  This is true for many essential oils and Lavender is generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation.
