Prima Fleur Essential Oil: LAVENDER

Prima Fleur carries five kinds of Lavender essential oil and two kinds of Lavandin. We have organic, wild and cultivated. Please visit our website to see our extensive list of exquisite essential oils we source from around the world. Lavender is one of the most versatile of all essential oils, originated in the western Mediterranean, and was brought by monks to the northern parts of Europe more than 1,000 years ago.

Lavender essential oil is an effective ingredient for treating dry, sensitive skin, acne, and eczema. It inhibits acne-causing bacteria while soothing and helping to balance the over-secretion of sebum. It is also a natural antibiotic and antiseptic, which helps to reduce acne scarring and stimulates the growth of new cells to help rejuvenate the skin.

Lavender should have linalool and linalyl acetate in a proportion of 2:1 or about 40:20. It should never contain Camphor. If your Lavender has camphor in it, then you either have the wrong plants or the wrong earth. The essential oil is the expression of the earth in the plant. Camphor can be in Spanish Lavenders and spike Lavenders, but fine Lavender will have a soft and soothing scent.

Linalool is an alcohol like the alcohol in wine. The essential oil alcohols here are monoterpenols. They are bactericides, anti-infectious, antiviral, stimulating to the skin to heal, good general tonics, and free of hazards.

Linalyl acetate is an ester. Esters are gentle in action, soothing to the skin, anti-inflammatory, effective on skin rashes and other skin problems. They can both calm and uplift, and combined with the tonic virtues of alcohols, are very balancing, especially to the nervous system. This is why Lavenders are so desired by the skin care industry.

Skin Care for Men: Start with deep cleansing to clarify, exfoliate, and prepare the skin for shaving

Schisandra sphenanthera
A pre-shave oil does more than just help the blade glide across the skin; its lubricating properties will help plump up dead skin cells with moisture, pushing hairs away from the face and leaving them exposed for cutting. With a base of sunflower oil and shea butter, Treatment Oil for Sensitive Skin [No. 1207] immediately penetrates the skin, supporting moisture retention without clogging pores. Schisandra fruit extract reduces overactive cell turnover which can leave the skin dry and inflamed, and protects skin against stress factors. Helichrysum oil stimulates production and protection of new cells to rejuvenate skin. Palmarosa assists in reducing skin inflammation and helps to regulate sebum production. This treatment oil should be massaged into the skin and scalp.
For deep cleansing when time permits, Pomegranate Enzyme Mask [No. 1219] boosts hydration as it gently exfoliates without causing abrasion or inflammation. Enzymes from pomegranate and apple target lifeless cells, revealing newer, smoother skin with youthful vibrancy, depth, and luminosity. In addition to the cell turnover stimulated by exfoliation, an active derived from organic alfalfa encourages cell renewal and improves collagen synthesis to promote elasticity and prevent wrinkles, even for sensitive skin.

Skin Care for Men: A clean shave for fresh, smooth skin

Gotu Kola & Cypress Pore Refining Cleanser [No. 1202] includes a natural fruit acid complex with sugar cane, lemon, and orange extracts, which form a high-quality AHA complex that is less irritating than those found in comparable products. This complex has been proven effective at minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and fine lines. AHAs encourage the cell renewal process to be more like that of younger skin. The result is a fresher, smoother face with more even skin tone. These natural acids don't irritate, cause photosensitivity, or redness like other anti-aging ingredients such as Retin-A.
