Lavender often brings back memories of holidays in Provence or childhood. Beyond its olfactory power, it is also a plant with numerous benefits for beauty and well-being. Thanks to its purifying and soothing properties for the skin, lavender floral water has a place in our toiletries and cosmetics!
A family history and passion
Used for centuries, lavender has long since proved its worth. In fact, the Romans were already using it to wash and perfume, and then in the Middle Ages to disinfect!
Today, lavender is widely used in the form of essential oil for minor aches and pains and as a room spray, but lavender floral water also has remarkable properties. It is obtained during the same steam extraction distillation process as lavender essential oil, and so also contains interesting active ingredients. It is increasingly used in skincare and cosmetics formulations.
Its main properties:
- Cleansing and purifying for the skin and scalp
- Healing and regenerating
- Balances and regulates sebum
- Soothing
Lavender floral water, for what type of skin?
The major advantage of lavender floral water is that it can be used as a toner on all skin types, even the most sensitive. It refreshes and purifies, but does not dry out the skin. Its purifying properties make it an ideal ally for oily and acne-prone skin, regulating sebum. It is also suitable for more mature skin thanks to its regenerating and firming properties. A natural skin care product that will quickly be adopted by the whole family, including men, as it soothes the skin after shaving, which can be very irritating for facial skin.
