Lavender Essential Oil
Definition
A popular essential oil steam-distilled from lavender flowers (Lavandula angustifolia). Clinically shown to have calming, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, lavender is one of the gentlest essential oils for topical use. Numbrrrz uses certified organic lavender essential oil in our Lavender lip balm variety for its soothing scent and skin benefits.
