Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract is a gentle, aromatic botanical widely used in British skincare and haircare for its soothing and calming properties. Derived from the flowers of true lavender, it brings a delicate floral scent and helps balance and comfort the skin without irritation. A staple in clean beauty formulas, it is popular in creams, toners, masks and hair products.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract functions primarily as a soothing, conditioning and fragrance ingredient. It helps calm visible redness and sensitivity while providing mild astringent and antioxidant properties that support the skin’s natural barrier. The extract also imparts a soft, herbaceous-floral scent, reducing the need for synthetic fragrance and making it ideal for sensitive-skin formulations, facial mists, bath products and hair care where it can help soothe the scalp and add shine.
