Lavender flower oil is produced through steam distillation. This process involves harvesting the lavender flowers at their peak bloom. The flowers are then placed in a distillation apparatus and subjected to high-pressure steam. The steam carries the volatile oil components of the lavender flowers, separating them from the plant matter. This aromatic steam is then cooled, causing the oil to condense and separate from the water. Renowned for its calming properties, it helps soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation, making it beneficial for conditions like eczema and sunburn. The oil's antibacterial and antiseptic qualities can help combat acne-causing bacteria and prevent breakouts. Additionally, lavender oil is believed to promote wound healing and skin regeneration, contributing to a faster recovery from skin injuries. Its ability to balance sebum production makes it suitable for both oily and dry skin types.
