Hair Loss? Discover the Power of Lavender Oil
Hair thinning and loss are common concerns. A good hair care routine is essential, whether for prevention or treatment. Natural solutions, like essential oils, can be a valuable addition. Try Lavender for Soft and Luscious Hair!
Lavender Oil: Nature’s Hair Growth Booster
Derived from a natural source, lavender oil encourages hair follicles to produce thicker, faster-growing hair. This versatile oil has a long history in beauty and health, including softening hair and reducing split ends.
Studies on lavender oil for hair growth show promising results. Both animal and human trials have found increased hair growth rates and overall hair volume. These findings suggest lavender oil may be helpful for hair thinning and pattern baldness. While human research is ongoing, many lavender hair products are already available.
Beyond Growth: Lavender’s Scalp Benefits
Research also reveals lavender oil’s anti-microbial properties, helping fight bacteria and fungi on the scalp. Additionally, lavender has been used for centuries to treat skin inflammation. Studies confirm its effectiveness for scalp issues, including dryness and itchiness, by reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing.
In Summary:
- Lavender oil promotes thicker, faster hair growth.
- It softens hair and reduces split ends.
- Lavender’s anti-microbial properties benefit scalp health.
- The oil’s anti-inflammatory properties can help with dry and itchy scalp.

The art of any good anti-aging routine requires detoxification. The best products to trust your skin with should be all-natural and non-toxic, which makes lavender oil a great candidate.
How do you choose a Lavender oil skin care product?
With so many skin care benefits, lavender is infused into many skin products, but not all products are created equal.
The most important factor in choosing lavender products for your skin care routine is the words “natural” and “organic.” It is important to look at the ingredients! A long list of unpronounceable chemical names on the back label is a good indication that the product is not “natural” as it is often advertised. The product ingredients should all be natural additives and herbal extracts that are tested and proven to be beneficial for skin care.
Also, keep in mind that you should order lavender products from distributors that are the “hands-on” experts in lavender—from growing to harvesting to product creation.
Detoxifying Effects of Lavender
With natural balancing effects, Lavender bath products such as gels, and Belvedere Lavender Goats Milk Bath or Lavender Salt Body Scrub are extremely beneficial in detoxifying your skin.
Lavender’s Anti-Aging Properties Prevent Wrinkles
Lavender is a fantastic source of antioxidants that fight free radical damage. Free radicals can cause damage to parts of cells, such as proteins. That means lavender can help protect against wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.

Self-care is simply taking the time to care for yourself. It’s about prioritizing your well-being and doing things that make you feel good. This could be anything from taking a long bath to spending time in nature.
How do I start practicing self-care?
Self-care is personal and unique to each individual. Start by asking yourself:
- What do I enjoy?
- What makes me feel relaxed and happy?
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Enjoy a long soak in the bathtub. Add bath salts, essential oils, or bubbles to enhance the experience. Relax with our Goat’s Milk Bath, nourish your skin and soul.
- Exfoliate your skin with a body scrub. This will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Our Coffee Body Scrub will gently exfoliate, tighten and smooth, leaving you feeling refreshed!
- Pamper yourself with a pedicure or manicure.
- Create an at-home spa experience. Light candles, play relaxing music, and indulge in a face mask.
- Try a gift set or bundle. These often include a variety of products designed to promote relaxation and well-being. We have Bundles for everyone’s needs and price range, they even make the perfect gift.
Remember, self-care is not selfish. It’s essential for maintaining your physical and mental health. So make time for yourself and enjoy the benefits!

The last few years have seen a surge in popularity of lavender essential oils for skincare routines, but there are many other ways to bring the magic of lavender into your life! Love Lavender? We have great news, you can use it almost everywhere!
Most of us are familiar with lavender oil, likely because it is one of the most popular essential oils in the world. With a plethora of innovative ways to use this oil to boost your health and wellness, let’s look at these great tips:
Use Lavender to Make an All-Purpose Cleaner
Avoid nasty, harsh cleaning chemicals by using lavender to make an all-purpose cleaner for counters, floors, stovetops, etc. The ingredients are simple! Just take a large spray bottle, add a cup of white vinegar, about a tablespoon of baking soda, a cup or so of water, and then add lavender essential oil drops (as many as needed for the desired scent). Mix gently, and you have a beautifully scented general-purpose cleaner for your home. Also, because lavender is antibacterial, you will have added health benefits – two for one!
Use Lavender All-Natural Laundry Detergent
Using lavender laundry detergent along with distilled white vinegar is a safe, easy, and effective way to get clean clothing that smells incredible. Lavender’s antibacterial properties ensure your laundry is disinfected naturally. A rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon of our laundry detergent for every 1/4 cup of distilled white vinegar. Good for 48 loads!
Use Lavender to Scent Your Closets and Drawers
Putting a sachet with lavender flowers adds this wonderful fragrance to any number of areas/spaces in your home. Another option is to add lavender essential oil to a piece of cloth, then put that in a fabric bag and place it in drawers, in your closet, or other areas that get that musty smell, such as storage areas and broom closets. Or try a lavender sachet in your suitcases when traveling.
Use Lavender for Great Sleep
The fragrance of lavender essential oil is a very effective way to induce deep, rejuvenating sleep. Clinical testing has proven how this essential oil not only gently induces sleep but is also effective for incidences of insomnia.
To get a great sleep, try using a lavender sachet in your bed or using lavender mist on your pillow and/or comforter.
