Two treatments, one common base: what lavender reveals

Two treatments, one common base: what lavender reveals

Among the most precious essential oils in natural cosmetics, true lavender occupies a special place. Renowned for its exceptional skin tolerance and versatility, it makes an ideal base for facial treatments. Although it is not used systematically, its use is essential whenever we seek to combine soothing, regenerating and balancing properties in the same formula.

It was with this in mind that we chose to build these two face care products around True Lavender. From this common base, each composition explores a specific direction: one towards soothing sensitive skin, the other towards regenerating mature skin.

True lavender: a balanced foundation

True lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil is one of the most complete in aromatherapy. It offers a remarkable balance between effectiveness and gentleness, making it a precious ally in skin care.

Soothing thanks to its high content of linalyl acetate (20-45%), an ester known to calm nervous and inflammatory reactions.
Cutaneous healing and regenerating, notably through the presence of linalool, which stimulates cell repair.
A gentle antibacterial, it can help purify the skin without aggressing it.

This base gives both preparations a calming and repairing effect, while serving as a gateway to more targeted actions depending on the other ingredients.

Composition:

True lavender essential oil
Roman chamomile essential oil
Macadamia and sweet almond vegetable oils

What each ingredient provides

Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile): Rich in terpene esters (notably isobutyl angelate), this oil is recognized for its powerful anti-inflammatory action, ideal for soothing irritation, redness and skin discomfort.
Macadamia vegetable oil Very similar to human sebum, it penetrates quickly without leaving a greasy film. Its rich palmitoleic acid content supports skin regeneration.
Sweet almond vegetable oil Softening and protective, it is particularly suited to dry, fragile or reactive skin.

In practiceThis care product is particularly suitable:

for sensitive skin or skin prone to redness,
in the event of irritation or discomfort,
for daily use, morning or evening, as a moisturizing and protective base.

Regeneration and tone for mature skin

Composition:

True lavender essential oil Cistus ladaniferus essential oil Dama rose essential oil Borage, jojoba, macadamia and apricot kernel vegetable oils

What each ingredient contributes

Cistus ladaniferus (Cistus ladaniferus): This oil is renowned for its astringent, restorative and hemostatic properties. Its richness in monoterpenes (α-pinene, camphene) makes it invaluable in anti-aging and fragile skin care. Damask rose (Rosa damascena): A rare and precious oil, containing aromatic compounds such as geraniol and citronnellol, with regenerating, toning and antioxidant effects. It also provides a subtle olfactory dimension, often associated with emotional comfort. Borage: Its concentration in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) gives it a restructuring and revitalizing action. It supports skin elasticity and slows the visible signs of aging. Jojoba: This biomimetic liquid wax regulates sebum and maintains hydration. It promotes beautiful skin texture without clogging pores. Apricot kernel: Illuminating and toning, it restores radiance to dull or tired skin. Macadamia: Here again, it facilitates penetration of the blend and strengthens the cohesion of the whole.

In practice This treatment is particularly indicated:

for mature, dry or devitalized skin, as a night treatment or regenerating serum, as a cure during seasonal changes or as support after prolonged exposure to the sun.

Two personalities, one clear intention

The two treatments share a common base - true lavender - but their composition reveals two quite distinct intentions:

The first focuses on softness, protection and soothing, targeting fragile skin or skin prone to discomfort.
The second addresses skin in search of regeneration, firmness and radiance, mobilizing richer, targeted ingredients.

Understanding the logic behind these formulas, we can choose a skincare product not only according to our skin type, but also according to the time of day, the season, or the needs of the moment.
