This week’s ingredient: Lavender



Everyone knows that Lavender smells great and most people know that it’s used in aromatherapy to calm and relax, but why use it in cosmetics?
Turns out that it works well in the treatment of acne, eczema, dermatitis, fungus, burns and wounds. A bottle of diluted essential oil is great to have on hand anytime. Or you can make your own infused oil (see blog entry: Plant based skin care starts with extraction) It makes a refreshing astringent as well as an effective skin care moisturizer. So…you know…its good for the mind, body & soul!
