Enhancing the appearance of skin when diluted and applied topically. 3.) Reducing stress and anxiety when diffused. 4.) Alleviating inflammation 5.) Soothing headaches. 6.) Healing insect bites. 7.)

- Cockroaches do not like Lavender oil – in fact, Lavender oil may repel them. Studies have shown that certain essential oils repel cockroaches, such as Rosemary, Oregano, Yarrow, Eucalyptus and Peppermint oil. Lavender oil contains similar natural constituents to these essential oils and therefore may also be able to repel cockroaches, especially when paired with other repellent oils such as these. Try combining 10 drops Lavender, 10 drops Oregano and 10 drops Rosemary- Moroccan with 2 tablespoons of grain alcohol in a 2 oz glass spray bottle. After a few hours, add 2 tablespoons of distilled water and shake to combine. Spray around doors, underneath furniture and appliances or wherever cockroaches have been spotted.
- Lavender oil is not toxic to dogs if following proper essential oil safety guidelines. For example, do not apply essential oils topically to your dog unless advised by an animal aromatherapist. Only diffuse in a large room where your dog is able to leave if desired and ensure that there is adequate ventilation. If you notice any adverse reaction, discontinue use of Lavender oil around your dog. Lastly, don’t use Lavender oil around puppies, pregnant dogs or dogs with health conditions unless you’ve consulted with an animal aromatherapist.
- Lavender oil and Lavender essential oil are synonymous. In aromatherapy, Lavender oil or Lavender essential oil is the product of lavender flowers being steam distilled to produce a concentrated oil. Lavender essential oil is used for a variety of purposes such as to promote sleep, reduce stress, boost skincare and to create an aromatic atmosphere. To ensure you are purchasing a true Lavender essential oil, there are a few things you can do. Check that the botanical name is included on the bottle (Lavandula angustifolia), confirm with the manufacturer that the oil is 100% pure and undiluted and also that they have a GC/MS report available on the oil to further verify its contents and purity.
- Lavender essential oil offers a wide range of benefits towards skin, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. To use Lavender for wrinkles, we suggest creating a combination of 6 drops of Lavender oil and 2 tablespoons of a skin nourishing carrier oil such as Rosehip. Apply your oil serum to your face day and night as the last step in your skincare routine or prior to applying sunblock. Alternatively, use an essential oil blend for mature skin such as Age Defy which includes Lavender oil along with other essentials for wrinkles.
Apply Topically: Our Single Essential Oils and Synergy Blends are 100% pure and undiluted. To apply to the skin, dilute with a high-quality Carrier Oil. See our dilution chart here. We recommend performing a skin patch test when using a new essential oil topically.
Diffuse & Inhale: Breathe in your favorite essential oils using an essential oil diffuser or personal pocket inhaler. For instructions on how to use your diffuser, please refer to the diffuser's product page.
