Lavender Essential Oil. Lavandula officinalis. Steam distilled. Hands down, Lavender is the most popular scent in the world, hence a significant ingredient in the formulation of our signature scent, OLIVANDER found in NaturOli natural skin care products and natural handmade soaps. Lavender Essential Oil is traditionally used in formulations to help relax and to relieve stress, to relieve headaches, to help reduce high blood pressure and to heal burns and wounds. It also kills germs and helps to reduce the spread of colds and viruses. Lavender Essential Oil is also the safest essential oil to use for babies and children. Avoid if you have low blood pressure. (We are still in search for the reason for this statement, and will document it when found.)
