Lavanda Mallorca

Benefits and uses of lavender oil

Our lavender farm is situated on the edge of Son Carrió village. We naturally grow our lavender without fertilisers or chemicals. We harvest the flowers by hand during the months of July and August. The flowers are then steam-distilled to produce essential oil. This process also creates hydrosol which is lavender distilled water.

Lavender is one of the most popular plants in medicinal and wellness around the world due to its extremely soothing aroma and wide range of therapeutic properties. Using the lavender oil for skin and hair has plenty of benefits.

Studies have found that inhaling the oil through aromatherapy helps reduce anxiety and depression. It can also be used for fungal infections, improving mood, promoting sound sleep, and relieving body pain.

Not only does lavender oil impart a calming aroma to your skincare products, but it can also be used to improve your skin health. Lavender oil is one of the few essential oils that is safe to use on the skin undiluted. Here are a few key benefits of using lavender oil for the face and body.

Soothes inflammation

Lavender oil has a calming effect that helps reduce itching, swelling, and redness caused by infections, insect bites, and skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis. It can be used to soothe dry, irritated, and sensitive skin.

Anti-aging

The bioactive compounds found in essential oil are antioxidants in nature. So, they can help protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays that accelerate the skin’s aging process through free radical damage.

Promotes wound healing

Using lavender oil topically helps promote collagen synthesis and stimulates fibroblasts. This helps your wounds heal faster and reduces acne scars.

Evens out skin tone

Lavender oil can fight blemishes, reduce redness and scarring to promote a clear, even-toned complexion.

Fights infections

Lavender oil has antiseptic and antifungal properties which can help you deal with minor cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and fungal infections.

Relaxes mind and body

Inhaling lavender oil calms our nerves and hence can be used to soothe our senses and unwind after a long day. It proves useful for controlling stress levels and managing anxiety disorder.

Keeps bugs away

Lavender oil is also a natural insect repellent and can be used in a diffuser as a room freshener to repel mosquitoes and other insects.

Natural perfume

Lavender oil can help neutralize body odour and even refresh and deodorize your arms with its antimicrobial activity.

Alleviates pain

The calming aroma of lavender can help reduce menstrual cramps, migraine headaches, and pain after surgery.

For skin

Dilute lavender oil with an organic cold-pressed oil and massage it into your skin. We recommend essential oil should not exceed 1% of the total oil. If you are using 100ml of carrier oil, ensure the total concentration of essential oils is not more than 1ml.

For hair

Dilute lavender oil with an appropriate carrier oil of your choice, i.e., argan or marula. Massage this lavender hair oil into your scalp and hair and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. Rinse with a gentle organic shampoo. Can be repeated 2-3 times a week as a therapeutic care ritual.

For aromatherapy

Add a few drops of oil to your aroma diffuser to inhale its calming aroma. Sprinkle 4-5 drops on a cotton pad and leave by your bed to help sleep quality. Add a few drops into your bath water for a great, relaxing bath.
