Lavender essential oil

Description

Here’s a good quality French lavender essential oil that is ethically sourced and bottled in the UK. It’s perfect for aromatherapy, adding to oil diffusers or burners, adding to carrier oils for massage oils or balms or simply for adding a few drops to your pillow to help you sleep.

We’re often asked if we make and sell our own lavender essential oil with our Gower-grown lavender, but sadly we don’t have enough lavender growing (yet!) to allow us to manufacture our own oil. While we work hard to expand the business to grow enough lavender to make our own oil, we thought we could bring you the good-quality Nikura lavender oil that we use in our own skincare products. We love that it is ethically sourced and bottled in the UK, and that it is a pure product with a genuinely long-lasting scent.

The oil is great for adding to our Welsh Blanket Lavender hearts, and we offer them as a pretty gift set here.

About lavender essential oil

Lavender essential oil is celebrated for its ability to soothe both mind and body. Inhaling its scent through aromatherapy can help reduce stress, anxiety, and even symptoms of mild depression, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. It’s also widely used to improve sleep quality – simply add a few drops to your pillow or use our calming pillow spray to help unwind at the end of the day.

For the skin, lavender oil offers antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a natural remedy for minor cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and even acne. Its antioxidants help protect against environmental stressors, supporting a youthful, radiant complexion and aiding in the healing of blemishes and scars.
