Lavender Essential Oil
What is it?
Lavender essential oil is a botanical extract long used in traditional and complementary skincare, most notably studied for its wound-healing and calming properties.
What does it do?
Commonly used for its soothing properties and, in traditional/complementary contexts, to support wound healing. A systematic PRISMA review of the wound-healing literature found supportive evidence, and a controlled animal wound-model study found topical lavender oil improved re-epithelialization and reduced inflammation versus untreated wounds.
