Lavender
Few essential oils are as universally loved — or as versatile — as lavender essential oil. Distilled from the flowering tops of the Lavandula angustifolia plant, this calming botanical has long been used to soothe the skin, relax the mind, and restore balance.
At Made in Hemp, we infuse lavender essential oil into three of our signature products — our Hemp Body Butter – Lavender, Nourishing Hemp Face Oil, and Lavender Hemp Seed Oil Soap — so you can enjoy its gentle power from head to toe.
What Is Lavender Essential Oil?
Lavender essential oil is steam-distilled from the purple flowers of the lavender plant. With its instantly recognisable scent — floral, slightly herbaceous, and deeply calming — it’s often referred to as "the mother of all essential oils" for its wide-ranging benefits in skincare, aromatherapy, and emotional wellness.
The oil contains natural active compounds like:
Linalool – soothing and antimicrobial
Linalyl acetate – calming and skin-softening
Terpinen-4-ol – supports skin clarity and healing
These give lavender its ability to calm, balance, and support both mind and skin.
Skin Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is beloved in skincare for its ability to:
Calm inflammation and reduce redness
Soothe sensitive or irritated skin
Gently purify with natural antibacterial properties
Support healing of blemishes, minor wounds, or breakouts
Balance oil production, making it suitable for dry and oily skin alike
It’s especially useful for sensitive, combination, or problem-prone skin that needs both care and clarity.
Why We Use It
We choose lavender essential oil because it offers a gentle, multi-functional approach to skincare. It pairs beautifully with ingredients like hemp seed oil, jojoba oil, and cocoa butter, helping to:
Calm both the skin and the senses
Add a naturally pleasant, floral scent to our body and face care
Enhance the therapeutic quality of our essential oil–focused formulations
It’s also safe and soothing enough for daily use — making it ideal for everything from facial oils to body butters to soap.
