US$11.95

Guard against stress, encourage sleep and ease tension with this soothing essential oil. The harmonizing oil also calms and balances all skin types, especially stressed, irritated or acne-prone complexions. Use it to create a fragrant bath, body or massage oil to help unwind or treat anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, headaches, inflammation and muscle pain. When applied to minor wounds, scrapes, cuts and burns lavender oil can help speed healing and prevent infection. Between 120 to 150 pounds of lavender are used to yield just one pound of the pure and powerful lavender essential oil. Used as a middle note when mixed with other essential oils, the lavender is steam distilled and has a fresh herb and floral scent.

The lavender flowers used to make this oil have been grown and harvested on Primavera's sustainable organic farming partnerships in France and Italy to ensure the highest quality and purest oil possible.

Stress Ease Blend:
Combine 5 drops of lavender oil, 3 drops of bergamot oil and 1 drop of neroli oil.

Kirstin’s Comments

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of Lavender. Just about every beauty company has tried to cash in on the good name of this versatile oil. Even though I don't particularly like the scent of Lavender, it's the oil my family uses the most. My children ask for it with frequency. For example if they fall and get a cut or bruise, it's not the band-aid they're after like most kids, it's Lavender (well okay, Lavender smeared on a band-aid). They call it a 'Lavender Kiss'.

So what's so versatile about it? Lavender's good for...well just about everything. Cuts, scraps, bruises, headaches, insomnia, calming kids down, de-stressing, healing acne, burns and soothing minor irritations. My children keep a bottle in their backpack for on the road/around town, I keep one in my bathroom drawer and one in the kitchen. Just this weekend I was cooking and hot oil splashed on my finger, badly burning it. One 'Lavender Kiss' and no blister the next day. At the bottom of this page you'll see how I use Lavender for a few situations.

Primavera's Lavender is something to be experienced. Picture this: each summer, Provencial fields bloom to life with lush Lavender. And during each gloriously fragrant season Primavera cooperative farmers carefully cultivate the precious Lavender Oil indigenous to the prolific Provence region in France. The aromatic harvest yields the pure, certified organic Lavender oil that brings pure joy to those lucky enough to experience it. The scent is truly unique, not like any other Lavender available.

Primavera's Lavender contains more than 100 distinct natural components, which is just one of the reasons for the wide scope of uses for this adored, aromatic oil.
