Lavender flower extract is obtained from the flowers of true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). It is used in skincare products for its refreshing, calming scent, or as a cleansing ingredient.
Lavender is one of the most popular fragrant herbs in the world. Lavender remedies have centuries of tradition. The extract of lavender flowers contain mostly lavender essential oil. The lavender-scented compounds are linalool and linalyl acetate, which are the main constituents of lavender essential oil.
The flower extract also contains other beneficial phytochemicals: flavonoids, terpenes, and phenolic acids, which have antioxidant and astringent properties and have a general cleansing effect on the skin.
It is important to remember when using any essential oil and fragrant extract that some people may be sensitive to the fragrant compounds and application to the skin may cause an allergic rash.
